Our Curated Standard
We favor whole-food and plant-based nutrition whenever practical, while recognizing that some nutrients are best delivered through thoughtfully formulated supplements. Every product we carry is evaluated for its ingredients, formulation, and how well it aligns with our standards before we recommend it.
Why These Ingredients Matter
| Ingredient | Why |
|---|---|
| Menofelis® Rhapontic Rhubarb Root Extract | Rhapontic rhubarb is one of the most menopause-specific botanicals in the formula. Standardized rhapontic rhubarb root extract has been studied for hot flashes and other physical and emotional symptoms associated with menopause.1 |
| Ashwagandha Extract | This adaptogenic botanical is included for support during a time when stress, sleep and emotional well-being can become more challenging. Clinical research in women with menopausal symptoms has found improvements in menopausal symptom scores, hot flashes, perceived stress and quality-of-life measures.2 |
| Chaste Tree Berry Extract | Chaste tree has a long history of use in women’s health. In a randomized placebo-controlled study of menopausal women, chaste tree extract improved overall menopausal symptom scores, with significant differences in anxiety and vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes.3 |
| Rhodiola Rosea Extract | Rhodiola is an adaptogenic botanical that has been studied for physical and mental fatigue, although the clinical evidence is mixed. Its inclusion complements the formula’s broader focus on the physical and emotional demands that can accompany the menopausal transition.4 |
| Berberine HCl | Berberine provides a different kind of support for the menopausal transition. Research has examined its effects on oxidative stress and metabolic concerns such as blood lipids and glucose regulation that can become increasingly relevant during and after menopause.5 |
| B Vitamins | Thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12 and biotin support normal energy metabolism and nervous-system function. Together they provide a nutritional foundation alongside the formula’s more targeted botanical ingredients. |
| Vitamin D3, Vitamin K + Minerals | Vitamin D3, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, selenium, chromium and potassium broaden the nutritional support in the formula. The amounts vary considerably, so these nutrients are best viewed as supporting components rather than as a high-dose mineral formula. |
| Alpha-Lipoic Acid + Cinnamon | Alpha-lipoic acid and cinnamon add another dimension to this broad formula alongside its vitamins, minerals and menopause-focused botanicals. |

Why We Carry It
Menopause support is not a one-size-fits-all nutritional need. The transition can involve changes in hot flashes, sleep, mood, stress and overall well-being, often with several concerns occurring at the same time. Life Balance Menopause Support earns a place in our catalog because it takes a broad approach rather than focusing on a single symptom or ingredient. It combines vitamins and minerals with several botanicals that have been studied for concerns relevant to the menopausal transition, including rhapontic rhubarb, ashwagandha, chaste tree berry and rhodiola.1,2,3,4 Berberine, alpha-lipoic acid and cinnamon add another dimension to this broad formula.
We especially like that this range of ingredients is brought together in a two-capsule daily serving. For women who want plant-focused support through perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause without assembling a long list of separate supplements, it fills a useful role.
Why I Recommend It
Why I Recommend It
Let’s face it. You arrived at this page because you have a definite need for help with your perimenopausal, menopausal, or post-menopausal symptoms. This can be an especially rough time in a woman’s life, and you are not alone. What you also want is a full-spectrum menopause support product that’s practical for your needs. You want to sleep better and feel better emotionally and physically, and you want to stop wondering where all the self-regulation you used to have has gone. Also, you’re focusing on getting as much help from plants and nature as you can.
What I like about Life Balance Menopause Support is that it puts a lot into two capsules. Rather than asking you to buy a collection of individual supplements, it combines several botanicals I found particularly interesting while researching menopause support, along with vitamins and minerals. You know I’m always thinking about my customers’ budgets, and at about $1.67 a day, I think this is a practical way to get a fairly broad formula without building your own supplement collection.
People used to call the whole transition from perimenopause through menopause and into post-menopause “The Change.” It was an efficient term, and these days it can be used as shorthand for others to take good care of a woman when she needs it (or stay out of her way when she wants that). Whatever stage of The Change you’re in, if you’re having symptoms and looking for nutritional and botanical support, that’s why I carry this supplement.
A note about the vitamin D3: I have not received confirmation from the manufacturer that the vitamin D3 in Life Balance Menopause Support is sourced from algae or lichen. The rest of the formulation points in that direction, with a plant-based capsule, vegan magnesium stearate (confirmed by the manufacturer, although not on the product label), and plant-sourced alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Out of an abundance of caution, I am not using the vegan icon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions
Is Life Balance Menopause Support only for women who have reached menopause? No. The formula is intended to provide nutritional and botanical support through the broader menopausal transition, including perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.
Why does this formula contain so many different ingredients? Menopausal changes can affect more than one aspect of well-being. This formula combines vitamins and minerals with botanicals selected to provide broader support rather than relying on a single ingredient or targeting only one concern.
Can this replace all of the other supplements I take? Not necessarily. Life Balance Menopause Support provides a broad combination of nutrients and botanicals, but it is not a complete multivitamin or a high-dose calcium, magnesium or vitamin D supplement. Whether you need additional nutritional support depends on what you already get from your diet and other supplements.
Why is there only 4 mg of rhapontic rhubarb when some of the other botanicals provide 100 mg? Menofelis® is a standardized rhapontic rhubarb root extract, so its milligram amount should not be compared directly with the amounts of unrelated botanical ingredients. Standardized rhapontic rhubarb extract has been studied specifically for menopausal symptoms.1
Why did they used to call menopause “The Change”? Apparently “The Change, Plus Several Other Changes Nobody Mentioned” was too long.

What does "autoship" mean? It's an automatic, scheduled monthly (or every other month) delivery, so you never run out. Bonus: if your autoship order (after your first order) is over $100, shipping is free.
