Menopausal non hormone treatments

There are several non-hormonal strategies to support women through menopause:

1. Supplements and Nutrition:

   • Turmeric: May help with hot flashes due to its anti-inflammatory properties, though it shouldn't replace estrogen therapy where needed 1.
   • Creatine: Recommended for maintaining muscle mass 1.
   • Vitamin D and Fiber: Many women are deficient in Vitamin D, and high-fiber diets are encouraged for overall health 1.
   • Black Cohosh: Suggested to slightly increase estrogen and alleviate menopause symptoms, although effects are modest 2.
   • Pueraria Mirifica: Notable for being potentially as effective as estrogen replacement therapy in reducing menopause symptoms 3.
