Menopause Supplement UK – BioFem Red Clover & Wild Yam 60 Caps

Contains SOYA. The isoflavones are soya-derived.
Vitamin B6 warning: long-term intake of amounts greater than 10mg of vitamin B6 daily may lead to mild tingling and numbness. Each capsule provides 5mg, so three capsules daily reaches 15mg — above that threshold. Do not exceed the stated dose, and speak to your GP before long-term use at the higher end.

A gentle daily food supplement formulated for women during difficult monthly cycles, and through perimenopause and the menopause. Ten botanicals — led by 800mg each of red clover and wild yam — with soya isoflavones, vitamin B6 and zinc. It contains no hormones, of the kind found in HRT medicines.

B6 and Zinc Carry the Authorised Claims

The botanicals here are traditional women's herbs with long histories of use, but traditional use is not the same category of evidence as an authorised health claim. What is regulator-assessed is the vitamin and mineral content.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity — the claim at the centre of this formula, at 5mg per capsule (357% NRV). It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological and nervous system function, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal red blood cell formation, normal immune function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction — at 2.5mg (25% NRV) — alongside the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails, skin and vision, normal cognitive function and normal immune function.

How Other UK Women's Formulas Compare

Menopace — the market leader, comprehensive, not halal. Vitabiotics' Menopace is the best-known UK option with a broad vitamin and mineral profile. It carries no halal or kosher certification.

Black cohosh capsules — single herb, THR route. Many black cohosh products are registered traditional herbal medicines with their own permitted wording. BioFem does not contain black cohosh.

Own-brand red clover — one botanical. Inexpensive single-herb capsules with none of the supporting botanicals, vitamins or minerals.

How to Take It

Take 1 capsule, two to three times per day, preferably with food. Do not exceed three capsules daily — at 5mg of vitamin B6 per capsule, three capsules provides 15mg, and long-term intake above 10mg daily may lead to mild tingling and numbness.

This is a gentle food supplement, not a medicine. It does not work overnight — depending on the individual it can take weeks or longer before any difference is noticed.

For fluid and electrolyte support alongside, Fluid Balance also carries the B6 hormonal activity claim. For evening calm, BioSnooze.

• You'd rather have ten botanicals at declared doses than a single herb
