What sets DRV+ apart

Menopause isn't a nutrient deficiency. It's a life stage where the body's needs change and multiple systems need support simultaneously.

MenoFriend® combines six botanicals at evidence-based doses with a vitamin and mineral base for energy, hormone regulation, mental performance and bone health. Red clover, sage, wild yam, maca, hops and mung beans are plant sources of isoflavones. Sage is rich in polyphenols. Wild yam provides diosgenin. Maca is grown at 4,000 metres in the Peruvian Andes and used there for centuries.

This is a formula that understands what menopause requires.

KEY FEATURES

  • Red clover flower extract, a plant source of isoflavones.
  • Sage leaf extract, rich in polyphenols, with wild yam, which provides diosgenin. Both are long-established botanicals in women's herbal tradition.
  • Maca root extract, a root vegetable grown at around 4,000 metres in the Peruvian Andes and used there for centuries.
  • Hops are among the most potent phytoestrogens, and mung bean provides polysaccharides.
  • Vitamin B6 for hormone regulation, with magnesium and vitamins B2, B3, B5 and B12 for tiredness and fatigue and psychological function.
  • Calcium, magnesium, vitamins D3 and K2, clinically proven to support bones
  • Selenium for hair and nails.

THE EVIDENCE

  • 89% of women taking MenoFriend® for 3 months or more find it effective, from our study with 978 women who had taken it.
  • Effectiveness climbs steeply with time: 64% under 2 months, 83% at 3 to 6 months, 90% at 7 to 12, and 96% at 1 to 2 years.
  • Plant compounds reach a steady level in the body only with consistent daily intake, and what women are tracking unfolds across months rather than mornings.
  • Ingredients in MenoFriend® are backed by over 300 published peer-reviewed studies.
  • BBC Good Food 'Star Buy' and 'Best Menopause Supplement, 2025'.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Take for at least 60 days. Consistency is what makes the difference. 1 month: energy and mental performance. 2 months: hormone regulation, mood and psychological function, hair and nails. 3 months: bones, muscle function and immunity.

IMPORTANT

Not suitable if had or at risk of oestrogen-positive breast cancer, taking anticoagulants, or on combined pill. Speak to GP first if on medication.

Still have questions?
We’ve got answers.

Can my client take the MenoFriend® menopause supplement with HRT?

MenoFriend® supports a more comfortable menopause and is often taken alongside HRT, however we always recommend that your client consults their GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if they're on HRT or medication.

We provide high-quality dietary supplements and foods. We cannot give medical advice. We would advise anyone to seek guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner if there are any concerns using supplements when on HRT.

Can my client take MenoFriend® with the combined pill?

We do not recommend taking MenoFriend® with the combined pill due to interactions between the ingredients in MenoFriend® that may affect the contraceptive pill.

Can my client take MenoFriend® with the mini pill?

MenoFriend® is often taken alongside the mini pill (progesterone only). There are a few minor drug-nutrient interactions with this combination, so we recommend taking MenoFriend® and the mini pill at opposite times of the day. We always recommend that your client consults their GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if they're on medication, including the mini pill.

What is the best menopause supplement?

According to BBC Good Food guide to best menopause supplements, published in November 2025, MenoFriend is ranked as the Star Buy and 'Best Menopause Supplement'. With a star rating of 5/5, BBC Good Food says "Only two capsules a day deliver an impressive blend of nutrients in this vegan, allergen-free menopause formula. The eco-friendly pouch opens and reseals easily, and although the capsules carry a mild turmeric scent, there’s no taste when taken. Inside is a thoughtful mix of B12, D3, K2 and botanicals such as red clover and sage. Free from additives and easy to take, it’s a dependable daily option for menopause support."

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERIMENOFRIEND® AND MENOFRIEND®?

PeriMenoFriend® is formulated for women going through perimenopause, which can begin 4-10 years before menopause. It is very normal to still have periods, even if they are irregular, through perimenopause. The signs of perimenopause are very similar to those experienced during menopause.

PeriMenoFriend® helps support the heightened feelings during perimenopause. MenoFriend® has been used by over 50,000 women and can also be taken through postmenopause.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CLIENT SHOULD TAKE PERIMENOFRIEND® OR MENOFRIEND®?

It is important to understand women that are of menopausal age are healthy adults. As such we provide nutritional products to support good health alongside a balanced diet. Our products can be taken at any age but the dietary challenges when we are older can become more important for some.

Perimenopause is the first stage of menopause that can begin 4-10 years before menopause. Menopause is when a woman has gone for a full 12 months without a menstrual cycle, so if your client is still having periods, even if irregular, they are in perimenopause. PeriMenoFriend® is formulated to support the health and wellbeing of women during perimenopause. Learn more in "How do I know if I'm starting menopause".

Can my client take MenoFriend® if they've had a hysterectomy?

MenoFriend®️ may be suitable for signs of menopause after a hysterectomy. A full hysterectomy often causes a person to go into surgical menopause immediately when the ovaries have been removed. It is also possible for one or both ovaries to be left intact after a hysterectomy. Ovaries are responsible for producing oestrogen and progesterone. If your client still retains their ovaries, they will experience menopause as normal.

How long does it take for MenoFriend® to work?

The time it takes to feel a difference from taking any supplements varies by individual due to many factors including the stage of menopause, age, weight, diet and the foods your client eats, lifestyle, exercise and other factors.

How long can my client take MenoFriend® for?

MenoFriend® is formulated so your client can thrive through menopause and postmenopause. MenoFriend® is safe to take for as long as necessary and it is helping them thrive. We always advise that if your client doesn't feel they need to take supplements, that is a good thing, so it can be a good idea to stop taking supplements if they don't feel they need them and if they feel they've achieved their health goal.

When is the best time to take menopause supplements like MenoFriend®?

Menopause supplements can be taken at any time of the day. The most common time to take MenoFriend® is in the evenings. However, your client can take their two MenoFriend® capsules together or separately, in the mornings, daytime or evening. It is a case of learning and adapting to what works best for them and their body.

To enjoy the benefits of MenoFriend®, it's important to take two capsules consistently each day.

Are menopause supplements safe?

Most menopause supplements are safe when taken as directed and chosen carefully. We always recommend looking for products that are made with high-quality ingredients and free from unnecessary additives. Safety also depends on your client's individual health, so it’s best to review their supplements with a healthcare professional, especially if they’re on other medications or have underlying conditions.

Can menopause supplements cause weight gain?

Generally, menopause supplements do not directly cause weight gain. Hormonal changes during this life stage can make weight management more challenging, but most quality supplements are designed to support balance, not add extra calories. If anything, the right nutrients may help maintain a healthy metabolism, support energy and reduce signs of menopause that make it harder to stay active.

When should my client start taking menopause supplements?

Your client can start menopause supplements at any stage, whether they’re in perimenopause (when symptoms first appear) or postmenopause - if the supplements are appropriate for their needs. The 'right' time is when they start noticing changes to their body and mood. A tailored approach based on their signs and nutritional gaps works best.

Is wild yam good for menopause?

Wild yam is acclaimed for helping maintain calm and comfort through menopause.

Is dong quai good for menopause?

Dong Quai has been extensively studied for helping regulate hormones.

How does red clover help with menopause?

Red clover provides Isoflavones and is widely studied for its role in supporting cardiovascular health.

Does maca root help with menopause?

Maca, a hardy plant from South America, is a popular botanical studied for supporting physical and mental wellbeing, stamina, and feelings of vitality.

Can my client take MenoFriend® with coils?

MenoFriend® is ok to be used alongside both the copper coils and the Mirena coil. The progesterone in the Mirena coil is metabolised through a different pathway to oral progesterone.
