Midlife wellbeing supplements by Vitabiotics

Menopace is an advanced range of menopause supplements, designed by experts to provide effective nutritional support. Optimal nutrition is important during and after the menopause where levels of specific hormones can change. Menopace Original is an effective, tried and tested one-a-day supplement of 22 nutrients scientifically formulated for during and after this period of change.
Osteocare Original is the UK's no.1 bone health formula and has been scientifically developed on the basis of the very latest research to provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including vitamin D which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body. As we get older, particularly around the time of the menopause, our bone density can decrease as a result of the natural reduction in our oestrogen levels. Calcium helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women (a beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of at least 1200mg calcium from all sources). Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures (in women aged 50 years and older), so it is especially important to make sure we safeguard our intake of calcium during this time.

Edible Health

However, in spite of its critical role, collagen production starts declining around age 20. Bones and muscles become weaker, joints can ache and skin starts to wrinkle and sag. We may even experience inflammation, pain and leaky gut. Then, as we move through middle age, our hormones change. For men, testosterone levels can decrease and for women, oestrogen and progesterone levels change. Studies have also shown that within a few years of menopause, collagen levels can half.
It's understandable to feel disheartened as we age. But there is good news, we promise! Taking collagen can not only help balance hormones but it can also improve skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles, reduce hair loss or thinning, strengthen bones and joints, prevent the loss of muscle mass and support the lining of the womb.
At Edible Health we believe that collagen is a staple, not a supplement. We have been the best-selling collagen on Amazon UK since 2017 and our mantra is 'People Before Profits'.
