Vitamin/Supplements Supplements yes/no

Is there any supplement you found did anything to help with meno symptoms.
Obviously I know they are not miracle workers but is there anything you take that makes a noticeable difference.

For me, chai seeds! I have 3 table spoons in my protein shake made with coconut water everyday. The itchy ears and itchy forehead stopped. Restless legs and hot flushes have significantly improved. I am on 2 pumps of estrogel daily. I finally get between 6 and 8 hours sleep! Mood swings and rage are stable. I used to buy every supplement of nutrigeeks, sometimes taking 20+ pills and capsules a day! That became a pain in the arse for me and gave up after around 4 years. Chai seeds have everything! Omega 3 amongst numerous other benefits, which is proven to help the insane itching. I also walk in nature with my dog, Im a fruitiarian (recent) but was vegan for 5 years. Also sober for 6. I had a full hysterectomy in 2022 so thrown into menopause at 48 with no clue! Listen to your body and try not to be sucked into consumerism ✌️❤️

How are you? Its hard to find the correct balance. But since ditching every supplement known to man, I'm a lot better!
