Can Nouri Menopause Health actually fix my hot flash hell?
With my partner asleep next to me, I carefully climbed out of bed to disrobe, throwing my wet T-shirt and sticky joggers into the hamper. I’m now freezing from the cold layer of sweat on my skin, just like the back and forth of a fever. I’ve entered the burning hell of perimenopause, and I’m desperate for relief.
Two months ago, this was my middle-of-the-night routine. When I heard that Nouri — a microbiome health brand — launched a new product for menopausal GALs, it seemed like a reasonable way to temper my perimenopausal symptoms.
Nouri Menopause Health daily probiotic claims to relieve common perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal discomforts like hot flashes and night sweats. These capsules combine “plant-based omega oil, resveratrol, and precision probiotic strains clinically proven to support healthy estrogen metabolism, hormonal balance, and microbiome diversity.” Essentially, Nouri’s select combo of probiotics activates the microbes in your digestive tract to tell your brain to tell your hormones to chill the F out.
How Nouri Menopause Health works as a natural menopause treatment
- Because of its double-capsules design, Nouri’s Menopause Health probiotics aren’t compromised by stomach acid and can easily blend into the microbiomes in our stomachs and small intestines to help our bodies metabolize circulating estrogen for hormonal balance.
- The probiotics activate the gut-brain axis and send “messages” to the brain via these hormone receptor cells.
- Our brains interpret these messages and send them back into our bodies to help reduce miserable hot flashes and night sweats.
Week 1 on Nouri Menopause Health Probiotic
The first thing I noticed was the brilliant design of these capsules. The double gel cap, first of Omega oil, carefully bottles another capsule of probiotics (allowing me to take both ingredients, which have historically caused me to gag). According to Nouri, this design allows the probiotic to withstand stomach acid and deliver twice the live active cultures.
After a few days, I was really looking forward to starting my new routine with these cool little capsules just to shake ‘em like little boats-in-a-bottle and take a whiff of their delightful orange creamsicle scent. (Peculiar? Maybe. But don’t knock it till you try it.)
Week 3 on Nouri Menopause Health Probiotic
Oh, hello, probiotics! Not to get too personal, but let’s just say the gut-health claim certainly worked for me. My poops were clean, efficient, and felt almost lubricated. Enough said.
Clearly, I should’ve expected some type of bowel reaction with probiotics, but it was so distinct that I decided to look up the key ingredients to dig deeper into what they’re supposed to do. I was surprised to find benefits beyond those promised by the brand:
What are the key ingredients in Nouri Menopause Health supplements?
- Pediococcus acidilactici KABPTM-021
These probiotics reduce the effects of diarrhea, particularly in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and improve mental health under stress.
- Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KABPTM-051
This probiotic may help to reduce symptoms of eczema, high cholesterol, and IBS. It may also help prevent the common cold and other respiratory infections.
- Levilactobacillus brevis KABPTM-052
With a long list of potential health benefits, this probiotic may help to prevent alcohol-related liver disease, bacterial vaginosis, the common cold, dry skin, gum disease, and insomnia.
- Plant-based omega oil
Omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cardiovascular disease by lowering levels of blood triglycerides and inflammatory markers. Of the three main omega-3 fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) – the one in Nouri Menopause Health – is found in plant oils such as flaxseed, soybean, and canola oils (while DHA and EPA are found in fish and other seafood).
- Resveratrol
This natural chemical found in red grapes (which is where “red wine is good for you” claims originate) may be helpful for a variety of health concerns, primarily high cholesterol, cancer, and heart disease. It may also help with hay fever, weight loss, decreasing pain and swelling, and reducing blood sugar levels.
Week 8 on Nouri Menopause Health Probiotic
I was curious how long it would take for me to experience the full benefits of Nouri, so I contacted GALs at the woman-owned company directly. Here’s what they said: “Because everyone’s microbiome is different, it is hard to say when you will feel the ‘full effects’ of the product. Some people feel a dramatic decrease in symptoms after one month, and for others, it takes three.”
After two months, I noticed nothing. Let me explain: Nouri eased into my routine and body so seamlessly, that the menopausal effects were slow, steady – and winning. The hot flashes I’d experience every morning weren’t happening every day. (How soon we forget the hell.) And my night sweats significantly decreased since I started the product, allowing me to sleep better – also becoming my new normal.
Continuing Nouri Menopause Health Probiotic
Now that my body is used to this perimenopausal power pill, my bowels remain happy, and my hot flashes and night sweats have magically lessened. While I’m just one 47-year-old woman with a license to chill, my guinea-pig conclusion is that any perimenopausal or menopausal GAL could benefit from trying out Nouri’s Menopause Health. And with their money-back guarantee, you really can’t go wrong.
