These cultures in Better Gut are carefully selected to support gut health as well as alleviate common menopausal symptoms like bloating, brain fog and anxiety.

There are plenty of five-star reviews and testimonies online from women who love taking The Better Gut supplements.
One fan shared, “Honestly, I didn’t expect all the hype to be true, but I have absolutely slept better since I started taking these supplements a month ago.
“Insomnia is one of the main peri-menopause symptoms I suffer from.
“HRT has helped, but these little beauties have made all the difference. Fingers crossed the benefits continue to last.”
Another happy reviewer said: “I have been searching for years for a probiotic. I have finally found one that works amazing so far!
“I have only been on it for two weeks, and I can notice a difference. My indigestion is gone, I’m not feeling so bloated and my mind fog is better.
“If I feel better after two weeks, I can’t imagine how much better I’ll feel in two or three months after taking the probiotic.”
The different menopause treatments
THE main menopause treatment is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which replaces the hormones that are at low levels.
There are various types and doses, and it’s important to find the one that works best for you.
Oestrogen comes as:
- Skin patches
- A gel or spray to put on the skin
- Implants
- Tablets
If you have a womb (uterus), you also need to take progesterone to protect your womb lining from the effects of oestrogen. Taking oestrogen and progesterone is called combined HRT.
Progesterone comes as:
- Patches, as part of a combined patch with oestrogen
- IUS (intrauterine system, or coil)
- Tablets
Some people are also offered testosterone gels or creams to help improve sex drive, mood and energy levels, or additional oestrogen tablets, creams or rings for vaginal dryness and discomfort.
Other medicines can be used to treat menopause symptoms.
These include a blood pressure medicine called clonidine and an epilepsy drug called gabapentin to help with hot flushes and night sweats.
Antidepressants can combat mood symptoms if you’ve been diagnosed with anxiety or depression, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can also help.
Alternative treatments, like herbal remedies, are not recommended as it is unclear how safe and effective they are.
