Menopause
Supplements studied for menopause.
Overview
St. John's Wort and Maca have medium-strength evidence for menopausal symptoms. St. John's Wort taken up to 900 mg daily for up to 16 weeks may reduce hot flash frequency and severity and improve mood and quality of life. Maca is possibly effective based on three studies.
Natural plant compounds called phytoestrogens, found in soy and other plants, may slightly reduce hot flashes and improve vaginal dryness, though night sweats show less benefit. Panax Ginseng results are mixed by dose, and Vitamin K shows no meaningful benefit. The heatmap and evidence reviews below provide a fuller comparison.
