Perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause are significant transitions in a woman’s life. During this time, levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone gradually decline, which can affect everything from sleep and mood to skin, bones, metabolism and brain function.
While hormone therapy can play an important role for many women, targeted supplementation can also support your body through these hormonal changes.
At Beauty Reclaimed Cosmetic Centre, we offer practitioner-recommended supplements designed to complement our women’s health consultations and support long-term wellbeing.
Below are some of the key supplements available in clinic and how they may help during menopause.
Why Supplements Can Be Helpful During Menopause
Hormonal changes during menopause can affect multiple body systems.
Common symptoms women experience include:
-
Brain fog
-
Mood swings or anxiety
-
Poor sleep
-
Fatigue
-
Joint aches
-
Reduced muscle mass
-
Skin changes
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
Supplements can help support energy production, cognitive function, muscle health, bone density and nervous system regulation during this transition.
Importantly, supplementation should be personalised and guided by a qualified clinician, particularly if you are also taking medications or hormone therapy.
Key Supplements Available at Beauty Reclaimed
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including nerve signalling, muscle function and hormone balance.
Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form that is often recommended for women experiencing menopausal symptoms.
Benefits may include:
-
Improved sleep quality
-
Reduced anxiety and stress
-
Support for muscle relaxation
-
Bone health support
-
Reduction in muscle tension and cramps
Many women take magnesium in the evening as part of a night-time routine to support sleep and relaxation.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in tea leaves that promotes calmness without causing sedation.
It works by influencing neurotransmitters such as GABA, dopamine and serotonin, helping the brain shift into a more relaxed state.
Potential benefits include:
-
Reduced anxiety and stress
-
Improved focus and mental clarity
-
Better sleep quality
-
Reduced irritability
For women experiencing perimenopausal mood changes or brain fog, L-theanine can help promote calm, balanced mental energy.
Vitamin D3 + K2
Vitamin D and vitamin K2 work together to support bone strength, cardiovascular health and immune function.
During menopause, declining oestrogen can accelerate bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, while vitamin K2 helps ensure that calcium is directed into bones rather than soft tissues such as arteries.
Benefits may include:
-
Improved bone density
-
Immune system support
-
Cardiovascular health support
-
Mood regulation
Collagen Support
Collagen production declines significantly during menopause, contributing to changes in:
-
Skin elasticity
-
Joint health
-
Hair and nail strength
-
Bone density
Collagen supplementation provides key amino acids such as glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, which are essential building blocks for collagen production in the body.
Benefits may include:
-
Improved skin hydration and elasticity
-
Joint health support
-
Bone health support
-
Stronger hair and nails
Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is increasingly recognised as a valuable supplement for women during menopause.
It works by increasing phosphocreatine stores in muscles and the brain, helping produce cellular energy (ATP).
Benefits may include:
-
Improved muscle strength and mass
-
Better cognitive function
-
Support for bone health
-
Potential improvement in mood and fatigue
Maintaining muscle mass during menopause is essential for metabolic health and long-term strength.
Omega-3 Clinical Lipids
Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) support brain health, reduce inflammation and contribute to cardiovascular protection.
Benefits may include:
-
Improved cognitive function
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Heart health support
-
Possible reduction in brain fog
Supplements Are Only One Part of the Picture
While supplements can be helpful, menopause care should always be approached holistically.
At Beauty Reclaimed, women’s health consultations may include:
-
Hormone assessment
-
Pathology testing
-
Lifestyle and nutrition advice
-
Supplement support
-
Hormone replacement therapy (when appropriate)
-
Ongoing monitoring and support
Treatment plans are tailored to each woman’s symptoms, health history and goals.
Why Practitioner-Only Supplements Matter
Many of the supplements we stock in clinic are practitioner-only products, meaning they are designed to be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
This ensures:
-
Correct dosing
-
Safe combinations with medications
-
Evidence-based recommendations
-
Personalised care
Every woman experiences menopause differently, so supplementation should be individualised rather than one-size-fits-all.

At Beauty Reclaimed Cosmetic Centre in Mudgee, we believe menopause care should be evidence-based, personalised and empowering.
Through our women’s health consultations, we work alongside specialist doctors to help women understand their hormones, manage symptoms and protect their long-term health.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog or fatigue, it may be time to explore what support is available.
