Any organism needs replenishment of nutrients. If microelements are enough, then all internal organs will be able to work smoothly. This is especially important during menopause, when the hormone estrogen is produced in insufficient quantities. Its lack affects the mood and general condition.
Vitamins improve the quality of sleep, strengthen the nerves, normalize the level of production of their own hormones and stabilize the hormonal background. They also increase immunity and reduce the risk of colds. However, there is an important point – self-medication is very dangerous. Therefore, a doctor should select vitamins for menopause based on the symptomatic picture.
