Science Shoutouts
The supplement space is constantly evolving, and we’re sticking on top of the latest studies, articles, and what’s getting buzz:
Menopause Awareness: October marks Menopause Awareness Month, and SuppCo’s Head of Science, Jordan Glenn, went deep into the details of how supplements can support menopause with naturopathic expert Dr. Lanae Mullane. You can get all of Dr. Mullane’s tips here.
FDA Updates Stance on NMN: At the very beginning of October, the FDA updated their stance on nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). With the recent change, NMN is now cleared to be back in the supplement world, and the debate on its role in longevity supplementation is officially on. See our take on this change here.
Nutrient Spotlight
In case you glazed over the previous section, October is Menopause Awareness Month! So for this nutrient spotlight, we’re highlighting Maca.
A root vegetable native to the Andes, Maca can be used for supporting energy and hormone balance, often key focus areas for women in perimenopause and menopause. Initial studies on Maca’s ability to help with hormone regulation during menopause are early but promising. You can browse our database of Maca products here.
Protocol Spotlight
If you haven’t guessed yet, we’re sticking with the menopause for this month’s protocol spotlight. Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OBGYN/REI and co-founder of Fora Fertility, has made her expertise available to the full SuppCo community with her expert protocols: Perimenopause Support and Menopause Support. Check them out for in-depth recommendations on nutrients and products.
