Menopause
Menopause- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Menopause is the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered postmenopausal.
Most commonly, menopause takes place when a woman is in her late forties or early fifties. Women who have gone through menopause are no longer fertile. Menopause is not a disease and cannot be prevented. Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, presumably because of a decrease in the production of estrogen or other hormones.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Menopause:
I use this product everyday and it has helped tremendously. I recently ran out of this product, and it took me a few weeks before I got another box. The night sweats became unbearable, loss of sleep and short memory. As soon I got another box, started taking immediately after one week the symptom are beginning to change. This works and I will use for as long as i need. One thing more exercise is a must to help maintain energy, strength, and control of weight which is hard to lose when you're going through peri-menopausal.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Menopause:
I started getting hot flashes and night sweats a few months ago, and tried vitamin E, but I didn't notice a difference after a week or so. I then added flaxseed to meals - again, no difference. I went to GNC to buy Black Cohosh, but a nice young lady who worked there suggested this product because it worked for her mother (that made me feel old!! but I didn't care, I was at a point to try anything .. almost!). After about 1.5 weeks, I noticed a big difference in the frequency and intensity of the flashes, and each day gets better. Last night was my first free night of hot flashes! Looking forward to many more of those!

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Menopause:
I'm 49 years old and menopause came on like gang busters last year. It started with night sweats and major hot flashes. My hair started thinning and my nails were very weak. I went to the Gyno and he advised to go through menopause is naturally but take vitamin D-3 and Calcium. I did some research and found the Womens Ultra Mega Menopause. After about 2 weeks of taking them I noticed a big difference. No more night sweats and I may get a hot flash about once a week. I ran out of them last month and it took a few weeks before I could buy some more. The hot flashes came back strong! I don't think I want to run out again...

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® Menopause:
I have been using this product for the past 2 years and it has worked great. I had hotflashes and night sweats so often it was driving me insane. Now I have maybe one hotflash per day and no night sweats. As for some of you; you don't like the smell of the tablets. I take them out of the packet before I get ready in the morning then take them before I head out the door. I also at times take them out of the packet the night before. Some people say they get cramping, I did for a while, I learned to take the pink tablets 2 in am them 2 in pm and that seems to help. I've also noticed since I started taking these Ultra Mega Menopause tablets that I am not sick as often. I usually end up with a bad cold every year.Knock on wood.. Haven't been sick last year or so far this year!
GNC hang on to this product!!
