Menopause Support

Nutritional support through menopause with sage, alfalfa and green tea extract

A targeted herbal formula combining four active botanicals selected for their relevance to menopause symptom management. Each capsule provides 125mg alfalfa, a natural source of phytoestrogens (plant compounds that bind weakly to oestrogen receptors and may help buffer the effects of declining oestrogen levels). Sage at 62.5mg per capsule is included because it is among the most studied herbs in the context of hot flushes and night sweats.

Green tea extract at 50mg (standardised to 45% EGCG) provides antioxidant support and supports metabolic health during a period when cardiovascular risk and metabolic changes accelerate. Marine pine bark at 25mg (95% OPC) contributes potent proanthocyanidin antioxidants that support vascular health, skin elasticity and may help with the joint discomfort that some women experience during menopause. The vegetarian capsule shell makes this suitable for most dietary requirements.

Key benefits:

• Supports comfort through hot flushes and night sweats
• Smoother transition through perimenopause
• Better sleep and emotional balance

† Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established

Alfalfa Powder, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule), Sage Powder, Green Tea Extract, Marine Pine Bark.

Directions for use:

Take 2 capsules twice per day with meals.

The four capsule daily dose provides 500mg alfalfa, 250mg sage, 200mg green tea extract and 100mg marine pine bark. Splitting the dose between breakfast and dinner maintains more consistent levels throughout the day and provides coverage for both daytime hot flushes and night sweats.

This product can be used as a standalone formula or as part of the broader Menopause Support bundle (which adds chromium, magnesium and theanine). Allow 4 to 6 weeks to assess the effect on hot flush frequency and intensity, as the phytoestrogenic and hormonal balancing effects build gradually.

Also known as: chromium picolinate, chromium supplement.

Regulate blood sugar and reduce cravings with chromium picolinate

Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a key role in how the body responds to insulin. It helps insulin work more efficiently, which supports stable blood sugar levels and reduces the sharp spikes and crashes that drive cravings, energy dips and afternoon fatigue.

Each capsule provides 200mcg of chromium in the picolinate form. Picolinate is the most commonly studied form of chromium for blood sugar support, with research showing it can help reduce carbohydrate cravings and improve insulin sensitivity in people with blood sugar instability.

Chromium is most useful for people who experience strong carb or sugar cravings, energy crashes between meals, or who have been identified as having raised insulin levels or early insulin resistance. It is not a replacement for dietary changes, but it can make those changes significantly easier to sustain by reducing the physiological cravings that undermine them.

At the recommended dose of 1 to 2 capsules per day (200 to 400mcg), effects on cravings and blood sugar stability are typically noticed within 2 to 4 weeks. Chromium is well tolerated at these doses and can be taken on an ongoing basis.

Key benefits:

• Steadier blood sugar after meals
• Fewer cravings and appetite swings
• Better insulin sensitivity and balance

Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule), Chromium Picolinate.

Directions for use:

Take 1 capsule twice per day with meals.

Taking chromium with food supports its role in the insulin response to that meal. It is most effective when taken at breakfast and lunch, or at the two meals where you tend to eat the most carbohydrates.

If you have been diagnosed with raised insulin levels or blood sugar issues, your healthcare practitioner may recommend 1 to 2 capsules with every meal. This higher dose should be guided by a practitioner and monitored alongside blood glucose markers.

Chromium is safe for long term use at standard doses. It does not cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) in people with normal glucose metabolism.

Considering chromium for weight management? Chromium picolinate is the one common weight blend ingredient with a Cochrane review behind it, showing around 1 kg more loss than placebo.

Also known as: magnesium glycinate, magnesium bisglycinate, chelated magnesium, magnesium for sleep, magnesium chelate.

Magnesium bisglycinate capsules, in stock in the UK. Nutri Tailor stocks magnesium bisglycinate, the form other brands call magnesium glycinate, 133 mg of magnesium per capsule, shipped from the UK.

Bisglycinate with oxide to reach the dose. Each vegetable capsule combines magnesium bisglycinate with magnesium oxide to provide 133 mg of elemental magnesium (35% NRV). Bisglycinate alone is bulky, so the oxide lifts the dose per capsule. For the other forms see Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Malate.

• 133 mg magnesium per capsule
• Bisglycinate, the same compound as glycinate
• Vegetable capsule, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, nut free
• Made in the UK under GMP

What magnesium bisglycinate is. Magnesium bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, which is what the bis prefix means. Glycinate and bisglycinate are the same thing under two names. The glycine carrier is why this form is the one most people tolerate well and the one usually chosen for evening use.

How it differs from citrate and oxide. Citrate is well absorbed but loosens the bowel at higher doses; oxide is cheap, poorly absorbed on its own and mostly a laxative; bisglycinate is well absorbed and gentle. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, the maintenance of normal bones and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Nutri Tailor makes no claim beyond those.

Who chooses it. People who want a gentle form for daily use. People who have found citrate or oxide hard on the stomach. People who take magnesium in the evening. Anyone who has read the forms guide below and picked glycinate.

Capsules or the other forms. Bisglycinate for tolerability and evening use; citrate when a loosening effect is welcome or price matters most; hydroxide for the highest dose per capsule.

How to take it. As the label directs, with food. If you take prescribed tablets, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a diagnosed condition, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.

What L-theanine is. L-theanine is an amino acid found almost only in tea leaves, and it is part of what gives green tea its savoury taste. It is not built into proteins. A cup of green tea contains a few tens of milligrams; a capsule contains 200 mg, which is the dose most of the research used.

How it differs from tea. Tea delivers theanine with caffeine, and much of the research studied the two together. A capsule lets you take theanine on its own, or with a coffee if you want the combination the studies looked at, and at a dose tea cannot reach without many cups. The Nutri Tailor library covers what the trials show; Nutri Tailor makes no claim beyond that.

Who chooses it. People who have read the theanine research and want the 200 mg dose it used. People who want to try it with or without caffeine and judge the difference for themselves. Anyone who wants a single-ingredient capsule with a stated dose.

Capsules or powder. Theanine is also sold as a powder and as a tea; the capsule gives a fixed 200 mg with nothing else. Nutri Tailor stocks the capsule.

How to take it. As the label directs, with food. If you take prescribed tablets, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a diagnosed condition, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.
