Probiotics for menopause, hot flashes & gut support.Support your next chapter.
Gut health can deteriorate after menopause, and there is strong evidence to support the use of a good quality probiotic during and after menopause to help support hot flashes and other troublesome symptoms.
Studies have shown that probiotics may help with the regulation of hot flashes and joint pains, as good bacteria contribute to healthy metabolism and recycling of hormones in the body.
Gut health plays an important role during the menopause transition.
As hormone levels change, the gut microbiome may also shift. Supporting gut health with a high-quality probiotic may help reduce the body’s sensitivity to increases in temperature while supporting hormonal balance.
Good bacteria contribute to healthy metabolism and hormone recycling in the body, which may help support comfort during and after menopause.

What to look for in a menopause-friendly probiotic.
The lactobacillus strains have the most evidence of benefit. When considering a supplement, look for strain quality, built-in prebiotics, adequate daily dose, and delivery technology.
Lactobacillus-focused strains
Choose formulas that are mainly lactobacillus strains, which have the strongest evidence base for this use case.
At least 10 billion CFU
The daily dose should provide at least 10 billion colony forming units to support meaningful probiotic intake.
Built-in prebiotic support
Prebiotics such as inulin from chicory help support the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria.
Slow-release capsule
A slow-release capsule helps protect bacteria through the stomach so they can reach the gut where they are most needed.
Vitamin D combination
In view of the evidence for benefit from vitamin D, combining probiotics with vitamin D is a sensible approach.
Reliable manufacturing
Choose a good quality probiotic from a reliable manufacturer with thoughtful formulation standards.

More than digestive support.

A practical way to support the gut-hormone connection.
During menopause, supporting the gut microbiome can be a simple daily step in a broader wellness routine. A high-quality probiotic with prebiotic support and vitamin D may help support the systems connected to hormone metabolism, digestion, immunity, and healthy aging.
