PeriMenoFriend^®

Menopause technically lasts for only one day, which is the day a woman has been 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle. The time until this day is 'perimenopause' and the time after this day is 'postmenopause'. Perimenopause is the first stage of the menopause transition, which is the natural decline of ovarian function, where oestrogen production decreases and ovulation stops. It is a delicate period that usually begins 4-10 years before menopause, when the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. 'Menopause' is the day when a woman has gone without a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months and the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs. Postmenopause is the next day after menopause and beyond.

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".

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.

The BBC Good Food Guide of 'Best supplements for perimenopause', published in November 2025, rated PeriMenoFriend as the 'Star Buy' and Best Supplement for Perimenopause.

Tried, tested and rated against ease of use, ingredient quality, nutrient profile, health claims, packaging, and value for money, the independent reviewers and nutritionists noted "Two neutral-tasting capsules deliver a balanced mix of botanicals, vitamins and minerals aimed at perimenopausal support. The pouch is fully compostable and reseals cleanly. With ingredients like red clover, sage and magnesium, plus key nutrients such as D3 and B12, it offers a well-rounded formula without unnecessary additives. The vegan, allergen-free approach and fair price make it an easy product to stick with every day."

PeriMenoFriend® supports a more comfortable perimenopause 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.

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

PeriMenoFriend® is often taken alongside the mini pill (progesterone only). There are a few minor drug-nutrient interactions with this combination so we recommend taking PeriMenoFriend® 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.

We always recommend that your client consults their GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if they have an existing medical condition or are taking medication. 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.

MenoFriend® works in a similar way to PeriMenoFriend®, helping regulate hormones for a comfortable perimenopause and menopause. We do not recommend taking PeriMenoFriend® and MenoFriend® together, so if your client does not feel MenoFriend® is working for them, PeriMenoFriend® can be taken as an alternative to MenoFriend®.

We don't recommend taking PMS Hero® and PeriMenoFriend® together, because many of the nutrients are similar and provide additive doses, which isn’t necessary.

It’s not recommended to take PeriMenoFriend® and MenoFriend® at the same time. The formulas are designed to be a transition from one to the other.

PeriMenoFriend® 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.
