Understanding perimenopause
Perimenopause is a transitional phase that can begin between the ages of 40 and 50. It is not a health problem, but a natural process in which hormone levels fluctuate and the body sends out new signals. Many women experience:
- Irregular periods
• Mood swings
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Hot flushes and tiredness
We see this every day at the chemist’s: when a woman understands what is happening to her, she can make more informed decisions and feel more confident.
The role of nutrition and protein
Research into women’s health has advanced, and today we have formulations designed with the real needs of women going through perimenopause and menopause in mind. During this time, falling oestrogen levels can accelerate the loss of muscle mass, reduce energy levels and affect mental clarity. That is why a high-quality protein can be a real ally. Orissens protein (Physical and Mental Energy Proteins) combines highly bioavailable plant-based protein with nutrients that are particularly beneficial at this stage:
• Magnesium bisglycinate — helps reduce fatigue and maintain muscle function.
• Creatine — helps preserve muscle mass and function.
• Vitamin B6 — supports cognitive function and emotional stability.
• Rhodiola — an adaptogenic plant used to improve the response to physical and mental stress.
• Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin B12 — work together to support normal energy metabolism and nervous system function, reducing tiredness and fatigue.This combination supports strength, daily energy levels, and emotional and hormonal regulation — three key areas that many women find are affected during hormonal transition.
Accompanying each other is caring for
