You might not have reached perimenopause yet, but it’s hard to shut out all the chat. I’m only 33 but thanks to the endless tide of menopause information that seems to land in my inbox on a near-daily basis, I’ve already started looking into the things I need to do over the next decade to have a smooth transition.

That’s great, of course – the more you know, the better. And I’m a millennial – a generation obsessed with health and wellness. According to a 2023 report from Mintel, half of millennials take vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements, so it seems only logical that we’ll be supplementing our way through perimenopause when the time comes.

Do menopause supplements really work or are brands just ‘meno-washing’ wellness?
