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.

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.

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.
