Menopause Supplements

Natural Menopause Supplements, Rooted in Chinese Herbal Tradition

Menopause is one of life's biggest transitions, and women have been turning to herbal formulas through it for centuries. Our menopause supplements bring together classic formulas from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), several of them recorded in Chinese medical texts many hundreds of years ago and still widely used by practitioners today.

Whether you are in early perimenopause, going through menopause or settling into the years beyond, this collection brings together our natural menopause supplements in one place. Each formula is high-strength, plant-based and made with authentic DaoDi herbs.

Perimenopause and Menopause Through the Lens of Chinese Medicine

In TCM, the menopausal years are seen as a natural shift in the body's balance, closely linked to the Kidney and Liver systems and to the body's cooling, nourishing "Yin" energy. Rather than looking at one change in isolation, Chinese herbal tradition looks at the whole person. That's why there is no single "menopause formula": practitioners choose between several classic formulas depending on each woman's constitution.

This collection includes the formulas most traditionally associated with this stage of life, so you can explore the one that suits you best.

Our Herbal Menopause Formulas

Geng Nian An

The name says it all. In Chinese, gēng nián qī (更年期) is the word for menopause, and Geng Nian An (更年安) translates as "peace through the change of years". It is a formula created specifically for women at this stage of life, combining Rehmannia, Polygonum Vine, Lily-Turf Root and Magnolia-Vine Fruit to nourish Yin and harmonise the Liver in the traditional TCM way. It is our most popular formula for women in perimenopause and menopause.

Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan

A classic Rehmannia formula with Anemarrhena and Phellodendron added. In Chinese medicine it is traditionally chosen when Yin is depleted and the body tends towards "heat", a pattern TCM practitioners often associate with the menopausal years.

Liu Wei Di Huang Wan

One of the most famous formulas in the whole of Chinese medicine, first recorded during the Song dynasty more than 900 years ago. Known as the foundational Kidney Yin tonic, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is the base from which many other formulas, including Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan, were later developed.

Jia Wei Xiao Yao San

"Augmented Free and Easy Wanderer" is a Ming dynasty formula and one of the most widely used women's formulas in TCM. It is traditionally chosen for women who feel the pressures of a busy life alongside the changes of midlife.

Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang

A simple, elegant formula of just two herbs, Astragalus Root and Dong Quai, first recorded in the 13th century. Dong Quai has been called "the female ginseng" and is one of the best-known herbs in women's traditional herbalism.
