MenoSense
Natural Factors WS WomenSense
Overview
MenoSense offers a blend of herbal extracts traditionally and scientifically researched for menopausal symptoms. Key ingredients like Black Cohosh and Chasteberry have reasonable evidence for alleviating, respectively, hot flashes/night sweats and PMS-related symptoms that can occur during perimenopause. Dong Quai, while widely used traditionally, shows inconsistent efficacy for hot flashes in modern research. The combination aims to address a spectrum of symptoms, and the dosages of the primary active ingredients appear to be in effective ranges, contributing to its potential effectiveness.
The Good
Addresses multiple menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, menstrual irregularities) through a multi-ingredient approach.
Contains Black Cohosh, which is clinically supported for reducing hot flashes and other menopausal discomforts.
Includes Chasteberry, effective for PMS symptoms that can mirror perimenopausal hormonal shifts.
The Bad
Potential for drug interactions, especially with blood thinners and hormonal medications.
Safety in hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g., certain cancers) is a concern due to estrogenic activity of some ingredients.
Liver enzyme elevations have been rarely reported with black cohosh, warranting caution in individuals with liver conditions.
Is it for you?
Best For: Women experiencing menopausal symptoms, women seeking natural relief for hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings
Skip If: You are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions, or are taking blood thinners.
