I do not want to recommend the product Mendapause Menopause Supplement for Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, and Mood Swings. Because it is not straightforward about its possible side effects. People would have appreciated it more if the producers were honest about the possible adverse effects of the product instead of them just marketing it as something very affordable. In the end all, it is not worth buying even though it is very cheap.
Most effective for:
- Contains ingredients derived from plants
- Effectively reduces symptoms of menopause
- Gives you extra energy
- Balances estrogen and progesterone levels
Other factors to consider:
- Does not work for everybody
- Very restrictive for use
- Dangerous if you overdose
- May cause allergies and other side effects
Description: The product is a formula that aims to reduce and eliminate the effects of menopause. It works by balancing out both estrogen and progesterone levels. A decrease in Estrogen leads to night sweats and hot flashes. Deficiency in progesterone causes the mood swings. This product claims to fix your menopausal problems by providing phytoestrogen with a combination of progesterone in balancing out your hormone levels.
The product, which should be taken twice a day, is recommended for women in their pre-menopausal, menopausal and in the post-menopause stages. This looks very enticing to take in the treatment and prevention of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and nasty mood swings. However, this is not to be used by women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, below 18 years old and with a medical condition.
However, since the product causes so many adverse effects it might not be worthy taking it at all. Some users in their testimonials experienced allergies, increased weight gain, cramps and other side effects. You even need to consult your doctor first before taking the product.
Directions for Use: Take two (2) capsules daily.
Ingredients: It contains: Soy isoflavones, black cohosh, licorice, dong quai, vitex berry, sage extract, red clover, false unicorn, blessed thistle, squaw vine, red raspberry extract and Mexican wild yam.
Guarantee: Actual product packaging and materials may contain more and different information than what is shown on our website. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
Recommendation: Women want to feel “hot” but not when they're feeling the effects of menopause. This product by Mendapouse which is supposed to relieve you of menopausal symptoms sure looked like a good buy until you take a deeper look into its ingredients.

While it may be effective, using Balance HRT Naturally Body Cream could cause more harm to you in the long run, as it contains a number of carcinogenic ingredients. Several user reviews have stated that it causes adverse side effects, such as lumps forming in the breasts. Furthermore, it has not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration, so one can not be entirely sure of the safety of this product. So I would not recommend using this product. There are plenty of other safe products that are just as effective and work just as quickly as this one does, but without causing any harm to your body.
Balance HRT Naturally Body Cream is a product that promises to ease and/or relieve the different symptoms one experiences during menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, with continued use. And while it does deliver results to a certain extent, there are a number of drawbacks to this product that outweigh the product's positives.
Most effective for:
- Can relieve signs of menopause, including night sweats, bloating, decreased libido, and hot flashes
- The pump itself measures the dosages automatically, so no cream is wasted
- Balances levels of estrogen and levels of hormones in the body
- Results may manifest within a week of using the product
- Cream does not cause allergic reactions and does not have a foul odor
Other factors to consider:
- Cream does not cause allergic reactions and does not have a foul odor
- Contains progesterone, an ingredient which is known to be carcinogenic
- Contains progesterone, an ingredient which is known to be carcinogenic
Description:Balance HRT Naturally Body Cream is much like the usual lotions and creams, but it is applied to the lower abdominal area once or twice a day. However, the common complaint in most user reviews is that it gets too messy and that it does not absorb as easily as other lotions or creams.
There have also been some alarming user reviews that report that this product causes different harmful effects, after they have used it for a while. Some even claim that this product causes lumps to form in the breasts with continued use.
Directions for Use: Apply as much as needed.

The ingredient is effective to use for the symptoms of menopause because it simulates the hormone estrogen. Some consumers welcome this product as an alternative for other relief medicines for the relief of menopause and its symptoms.
Mason Natural Black Cohosh is a dietary supplement that claims to be effective in relieving the symptoms of menopause. It functions to soothe the discomforts you feel during menopause, relieve you of hot flashes and helps in restoring balance.
The main ingredient Black Cohosh is an extract from a herb that is popular in the treatment of common feminine issues like depression, mood swings. In other countries, this extract is even used for abortive purposes.
Most effective for:
- Affordable at $5.49 for 60 capsules
- Provides relief for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and other related discomforts
- Easy to take, twice daily
- Safe to use, with herbal extract ingredient
- Available online
Other factors to consider:
- Not recommended for women who are nursing or pregnant
- Physicians approval must be obtained before taking
- Not recommended to be used along with prescription medicines
- Should be taken on a full stomach
Description:There are links in studies that connect this ingredient as cancer causing therefore increasing your health risks. It is not recommended by doctors to be consumed if you are already taking prescription medicines for other pre-existing ailments. This supplement is also not safe for children, pregnant women and nursing moms.
The lack of any consumer testimonial supporting the product's claims that it works only adds up to the doubts if this supplement is truly effective.
Directions for Use: The recommended intake of the supplement is one capsule, twice daily for until around 6 months. It is also advised that you take the capsules on a full stomach or with a heavy meal.
Ingredients: According to this website, the contents of this supplement are: standardized triterpene glycosides 2.5% black cohosh 40 mg, amltodextrin, Magnesium Stearate (Veg), Solka Floc and Gelatin.
Guarantee: Depends on store
Recommendation: I would not recommend this product because there are no positive reviews supporting its claims. Another reason why I would not buy this product is that its main ingredient, though potent, cannot give you the total relief you are looking for your menopausal problems. As the product itself recommends, it may take you up to 6 months to get any results which is a pretty long time. Black Cohosh according to some studies can cause cancer which the producers of this supplement have craftily concealed.
There are other products out there which are more effective and safe to use if you are finding relief for your menopausal issues. I recommend that you take your money and buy these other products like Her Hot Flash Emergency Relief.
Price: $2.48
What is unique about this product is that it claims to be effective in providing relief for menopausal symptoms in just a matter of seconds. This is not taken orally but used topically. The cooling gel is applied on the side of the neck and on the wrists. It is supposed to send signals to your brain that its cooling function is taking place, stopping hot flashes in seconds. It has a soft perfume and refreshes quickly. It is supposed to be absorbed quickly into your skin making it safe to use everyday and every time.
The product is also hormone free so it gives you a sense of safety because it will not cause any imbalance to your hormone levels. And since it is topical in application it minimizes the risk of it being a health hazard to your body.
Most effective for:
- Stops hot flashes in a matter of seconds
- Hormone free
- Absorbs quickly
- Clinically proven to effectively decrease severity and frequency of hot flashes
- Affordable
Other factors to consider:
- Works only if the hot flashes are not that intense
- No guarantees as price varies in different websites
- Result may vary on different individuals
- Unpleasant smell
- Causes eye irritation
Description: Her Hot Flash Emergency Relief effect does not last very long and only works on parts of the body where you feel hot the most. It only offers a temporary relief for hot flashes but it doesn't resolve other effects of menopause like imbalanced hormones, irritability and mood swings. The gel should be safe to use because the tendency is to use it frequently to give you that temporary cool relief.
The lack of positive consumer testimonies on this product does not make it more appealing to buy. It could be a novel product to use being a topical solution for your menopause problems but in the end all could be a waste of your money.
Directions for Use: Place the cooling pads in areas where Hot flash is frequent and you can apply oil as well to double the effect.
Ingredients: According to this website, this cooling gel contains the following ingredients: isopropyl alcohol, water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, fragrance, carbomer, tetrasodium EDTA, glycerin, diazolidinyl urea, triethanolamine, tocopherol, polysorbate 20, DMDM hydantoin
Guarantee: Depends on store
Recommendation: It is a waste of money because it will not resolve the other problems you get from menopause. It doesn't even give you the lasting results that you deserve in alleviating you from your menopausal problems but nonetheless it will temporarily give you relief so I give it a 3. Some treatments like Mason Natural Black Cohosh gives you lesser return for your money's worth.

Let's take a closer look at black cohosh which is the main ingredient of this supplement. This is a plant root that is found mainly in North America and is said to possess some therapeutic qualities that deal mostly with feminine symptoms like kidney problems, snake bites and depression. It is popularly used in Europe because it was believed to contain estrogen-like compounds or phytoestrogen. It is so potent that it is also used as an abortifacient (abortion inducing substance).
Although you may find several testimonies from its users that the product really works, there are some users so claim that it doesn't. In fact, the product manufacturers admits that it can cause some gastric problems and to discontinue its use if it progresses. Doctor's advice is also needed in taking this drug because although it claims to be estrogen free, there are some studies that show that black cohort is associated as a cancer causing ingredient. It is also not safe to be taken by pregnant women, nursing moms or those planning to get pregnant.
With these facts to consider, it leaves room for doubt whether this product can actually deliver the results that it promises.
Most effective for:
- Affordable price
- Clinically proven reduces menopausal symptoms by 70%
- Completely safe, hormone free without estrogens that are plant based
- Can be used by women with history of breast cancer and can't take estrogen
- Proven and unique standardized extract from black cohosh
Other factors to consider:
- Can cause gastric discomforts
- Unsafe for pregnant or nursing mothers or those planning to get pregnant
- Must be kept away from children
- No guarantees as it doesn't work for everyone
Description: The product in question is a supplement called Remifemin which claims to be effective in reducing the emotional and physical symptoms of menopause. The supplement promises so many things but the main question is does it really deliver?
There are clinical tests that supports its claim to be safe and effective to use for women experiencing and who would not want to experience menopausal symptoms. These symptoms are hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, insomnia and irritability. The uniqueness of this supplement is its main ingredient which is the extract of black cohosh. The product boasts of great results despite being estrogen free.
Directions for Use: Take one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the evening with water. You can expect to notice improvements within a few weeks with full benefits after using Remifemin twice a day for 4 to 12 weeks.
Ingredients: According to the website the product contains lactose, potato starch, cellulose, natural peppermint flavor and magnesium stearate. The formula is standardized to equal 20 mg of Black Cohosh Root(or Cimicifuga Racemosa) and Rhizome.
The product does not contain any estrogen or soy ingredient.
Safety Information: This product should not be used by women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant or are nursing. As with any dietary supplement, always keep out of reach of children. For a few consumers, gastric discomfort may occur but should not be persistent. If gastic discomfort persists, discontinue use and see your healthcare practitioner. As part of an overallgood health care program, we encourage you to see your healthcare practitioner on a regular basis.
Recommendation: When in DOUBT then DON'T! I would not recommend this product for all the reasons stated above. It does not give you a guarantee that your symptoms will be eliminated, just the reduction of it. It may work for others but that doesn't guarantee it will work for you. The main ingredient itself, Black Cohosh may be potent for other ailments but not for menopausal symptoms. Nothing beats estrogen replacement in dealing with PMS and its symptoms.
