4 Nutrients
Fiber
10g
Dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, is important for supporting heart health. It helps to manage cholesterol levels by binding to cholesterol in the digestive system and removing it from the body. Total daily intake of fiber from food and supplementation should be 25 to 30 grams, while the average daily intake among Americans averages 15 grams per days. [1]

200mg
Magnesium assists in the proper function of muscles, including the heart muscle, and helps maintain a healthy heartbeat and vascular tone. [2]
Omega-3 fatty acids
1000mg
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA) are vital components of cell membranes and are particularly supportive of heart health, playing a role in maintaining normal blood pressure and heart rate. Take a product with at least 500 mg combined EPA and DHA. [3]
Coenzyme Q10
100mg
CoQ10 enhances heart health by fueling cellular energy production within heart muscles. It aids mitochondria, the cell's energy powerhouse, in converting nutrients into ATP, the body’s energy currency. This supports optimal heart muscle function and overall cardiovascular performance. Ubiquinol is the most "body-ready" form of COQ10, requiring no conversion from its oxidized form.

Warnings
Do Not Take With: Medications affecting blood clotting without prior consultation with a healthcare provider, due to potential interactions with Omega-3 fatty acids.
Do Not Take If:You have a history of hormone-sensitive conditions such as certain types of breast cancer or uterine fibroids, especially when considering supplements like Black Cohosh, which may have estrogenic effects. It is also important to be cautious if you have liver conditions, as some herbal supplements can impact liver function.
Consult a healthcare provider if you are currently on hormone replacement therapy or other medications for menopausal symptoms, as some supplements may interact with these treatments. Additionally, if you have any chronic health conditions or are taking other prescription medications, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure the safe use of these supplements. This Protocol should be used as part of a comprehensive approach to managing menopause symptoms, including a healthy diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate sleep. Supplements should be viewed as one component of a holistic health plan during menopause.
