Muscle joint pain is not something to simply accept either. As with so many symptoms in midlife, there is much we can do to ease discomfort, improve mobility, and stay active.

Always talk to your medical practitioner when you notice new symptoms. With muscle and joint pain this is key. And HRT can be incredibly effective for many of us in alleviating musculoskeletal symptoms.  What we put on our plates can make a big difference too. Then, supplements for menopause joint pain as a layer above the rest can ensure you’re getting the therapeutic dosage levels you need for key vitamins and minerals - and the best plant compounds too.

Oestrogen supports inflammation regulation, bone density, and collagen production. When it begins to decline in perimenopause, many of us  notice an increase in stiffness, slower recovery from exercise, and new or heightened pain in weight-bearing joints.
Here are the supplements that, alongside medical consultation and a keen focus on nutrition, can provide further support.
