Fusion Menopause 2500mg 120VC
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle and her reproductive years, and typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
Levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate during this time and periods become lighter, until eventually the ovaries stop releasing eggs and periods no longer occur.1
Common menopausal symptoms that women experience during this time may include hot flushes, difficulty sleeping, irritability and aches and pains.1
Black cohosh: traditionally used to relieve hot flushes, mood swings and more
Black cohosh relieves menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, irritability and mood swings, based on its traditional use in Western herbal medicine, where it’s also used to ease a wide variety of other menopausal symptoms, including restless sleep and mild rheumatic aches and pains.
Vitex: traditionally used to support reproductive hormone health
Together with black cohosh, vitex is utilised in traditional Western herbal medicine to support women’s reproductive hormone health during menopause.
Dong quai relieves menopausal symptoms
Dong quai is a herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce menopausal symptoms and as a blood tonic.
Also consider Fusion Menopause Heat Relief
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness are often regarded as being due to kidney Yin deficiency. If you’re troubled by those types of menopausal symptoms, consider Fusion Menopause Heat Relief. It combines dong quai and vitex with anemarrhena, which is traditionally used in TCM to relieve hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness when kidney Yin deficiency is present.

Fusion Sinusitis 60VC
Fusion Sinusitis features xanthium to relieve symptoms of sinusitis such as sinus pain, nasal congestion and a runny nose, based on traditional use in Chinese medicine. It also contains white angelica, traditionally used to clear the nasal passages and relieve sinus pain in Chinese medicine.
What is sinusitis?
Sinusitis is a condition where the nasal sinuses (the hollow cavities in the skull within the cheeks and behind the nose) become inflamed or blocked. This could be due to a bacterial infection that occurs as a result of having a common cold, or may be caused by allergies like hayfever (also known as allergic rhinitis.1
Xanthium: sinus relief from traditional Chinese medicine
Fusion Sinusitis is based on a TCM herbal formula called Cang Er Zi San, which has hundreds of years of traditional use for sinusitis symptom relief. Xanthium is considered the ‘Emperor’ or ‘hero’ herb in this TCM formula due to its traditional use for easing sinusitis symptoms including sinus pain, nasal congestion and a runny nose.
Xanthium is also traditionally used in Chinese medicine to decrease excess mucus and relieve post-nasal drip.
Are you a hayfever sufferer? Many people who experience hayfever also experience sinusitis from time to time.1 In addition to its traditional uses for relieving sinusitis symptoms, xanthium is traditionally taken in Chinese medicine to relieve hayfever symptoms.
White angelica: traditionally used to clear the nasal passages in TCM
White angelica is another primary herb in the Cang Er Zi San formula. It’s traditionally used in Chinese medicine to help relieve symptoms of sinusitis including sinus congestion and pain, and to unblock the nasal cavity.
Plus more herbs!
Fusion Sinusitis also contains the herbs magnolia flower, Asian wild mint and houttuynia, which are all found in the ancient Cang Er Zi Sanformula.
Fusion Iron Advanced 30T
Iron is involved in numerous physiological processes in the body. Most importantly, it maintains energy levels, supports healthy red blood cell production and helps with the formation of haemoglobin.
Iron for energy
Iron is important for maintaining energy levels in the body. It does this through helping with the formation of haemoglobin; a component of red blood cells that transports oxygen around the body so it can be used by the cells to produce energy. Iron also helps the body to make healthy red blood cells.
Who needs more iron?
Women have a greater need for iron than men, and according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, up to 40% of women and teenage girls aged 14-50 years are not consuming enough iron.1 Other people who may need more iron than others include vegetarians and menstruating women in the days following their period.
Where is iron found?
Iron in your diet can be found in animal-derived foods (red meat, chicken, fish, eggs), green vegetables (broccoli, spinach), nuts, seeds, lentils, beans and grains (whole wheat, brown rice). You might benefit from taking an additional iron supplement to prevent iron deficiency if you aren’t consuming these foods in sufficient quantities.
Gentle on the stomach, absorbable iron
Fusion Iron Advanced contains iron glycinate (also known as iron bisglycinate or iron (II) glycinate), which is more readily absorbed than some other forms of iron, such as iron sulfate. It also includes vitamin C, which helps increase the absorption of dietary iron.
Iron glycinate is gentle on the digestive system and is a generally well-tolerated form of iron.
