Myo-Inositol
A naturally occurring compound found in fruits, grains and legumes. It plays a role in insulin signalling — how effectively your cells respond to insulin — which becomes increasingly relevant during menopause as oestrogen's protective effect on blood sugar regulation declines. Research in post-menopausal women with metabolic syndrome has shown improvements in blood glucose, insulin resistance and lipid markers. Myo-Inositol also influences serotonin pathways, which may support mood and emotional balance during hormonal shifts.
L-Theanine
An amino acid found naturally in green and black tea. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports the neurotransmitters involved in relaxation, mood and sleep — specifically serotonin, dopamine and GABA. Clinical evidence suggests L-Theanine can reduce physiological stress markers and improve mood stability. In studies of post-menopausal women specifically, it reduced sympathetic nervous system activity and enhanced parasympathetic activity — supporting the calm, settled feeling that makes consistent food choices easier. It does not cause drowsiness.
Vitamin B6
An essential B vitamin with a specific and authorised role in psychological function and the regulation of hormonal activity. B6 supports serotonin and dopamine production — neurotransmitters directly affected by the hormonal changes of menopause and closely linked to mood, appetite and sleep. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. These are authorised EU/UK health claims.
Chromium Picolinate
Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a role in how the body uses insulin to process carbohydrates and fats. As oestrogen declines during menopause, insulin sensitivity commonly decreases — contributing to blood sugar instability, energy crashes and carbohydrate cravings. A double-blind placebo-controlled trial in overweight women with carbohydrate cravings found chromium picolinate reduced food intake and appetite over eight weeks. It has an authorised EU/UK health claim for contributing to normal macronutrient metabolism and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels
