Revive Active launches a supplement for menopause

A lot of us got in on the Revive Active supplements when they were the brainchild of Galway man Dáithi O’Connor in 2011.  Hot on the heels of its supplements specifically formulated for juniors and teens - and following two years of research - the Galway-headquartered company has launched a new super supplement range for women to take during and after menopause.

Meno Active has a sachet and capsule to be taken together once daily containing 30 vitamins, minerals, omega 3, digestive enzymes, plant extracts and strains of live friendly bacteria.

Ingredients include Vitamin B6 to regulate hormones, biotin, magnesium, thiamine and iodine for the nervous system, omega 3 for brain function, vitamin C to counteract tiredness, and the plant extracts ashwagandha for stress, sage for perspiration and memory loss and green tea to help with blood pressure.

When I went to see a practitioner for symptoms of perimenopause, I was prescribed about 10 different supplements, many of them these ones, which cost a small fortune. I needed a reminder on my phone throughout the day to remember which ones to take and when.

Meno Active costs €60 a month and is recommended for at least three months to help ease the long, long list of horrible symptoms that the change of life may bring.

I’ve been taking this for nearly a month and it’s very easy to take - the only rule is take it 30 minutes before food. It tastes pleasant enough, kind of citrusy, I just mix it in a glass of cool boiled water.

I’ve definitely had a burst of energy with it and it’s helped with night sweats already. Not so sure whether it will help with the mood swings, which my family tell me are shocking, but I will give it another two months to see if that miracle is going to bless this house.

Available from most chemists and health food shops.
