Menopause primarily affects women between the ages of 45 and 55 when hormone levels decline and periods stop, causing a variety of symptoms.

However, men can also experience menopause when they’re typically aged 50 or over. This is commonly referred to as “male menopause” and carries a set of symptoms due to declining testosterone levels and ageing.

A common symptom that both men and women can experience during this time is sleep disruption. Cue tossing and turning, a constant struggle to get to sleep and an inability to stay asleep for long without waking.

This can be frustrating, to say the least. That being said, not to worry — we’re here to help. Supplementing with the right ingredients can improve your sleep quality and quantity so that your waking hours are spent refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for whatever life throws at you.

Supplementing with Menoviva™ Vegan +Meno Support for Her

Ladies, listen up. Our Menoviva™ Vegan +Meno Support supplement brings together hemp extract, sage, vitamin K2 and vitamin D — ingredients that have each been studied in relation to sleep.

Let’s take a look at these ingredients individually now.

Hemp Extract

Hemp extract has been studied in relation to relaxation and sleep. Researchers found in a study that it reduced anxiety in 79.2% of participants and improved sleep quality in 66.7% of participants. In other words, it can help you fall asleep and stay asleep effortlessly.

Sage

Some research suggests that sage contains compounds that may ease insomnia and soothe anxiety. Sage is also known for reducing hot flushes and night sweats, which can help you to sleep better too.

Vitamin K2

There’s evidence to suggest that a deficiency in vitamins A, C, D, E and K, calcium and magnesium can lead to sleep issues. Vitamin K, also known as menaquinone, may play a positive role in sleep so that you feel more rested and less fatigued throughout the day.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of sleep disorders and difficulties, as well as shorter sleep duration. Supplementing with vitamin D can aid sleep regulation to improve your sleep and ensure you stay asleep for longer.

You will find all four together in Menoviva™ Vegan +Meno Support.

Supplementing with Menoviva™ Men-Vit for Him

Menoviva™ Men-Vit combines tribulus, zinc, vitamin D3, D-aspartic acid and ashwagandha extract — ingredients that have each been studied in relation to sleep and daily wellbeing.

Tribulus

Tribulus helps to regulate your central nervous system. This promotes deeper sleep so you can overcome fatigue and remain asleep for longer. It can also improve the recovery of your body post-exercise so that you wake up less sore and tired than usual.

Zinc

Zinc has been shown to improve sleep quality by reducing the number of wake-ups during the night. It also has a calming and antidepressant effect so you feel relaxed enough to fall asleep quicker.

Vitamin D3

As we mentioned earlier, some studies have found that vitamin D can help you sleep by regulating the body’s circadian rhythms. A vitamin D deficiency can lead to decreased sleep time at night and increased sleepiness throughout the day.

D-Aspartic Acid

Low-quality sleep has been linked to a reduction in testosterone levels given that testosterone is released while the body is sleeping. Studies have explored the relationship between D-aspartic acid, testosterone and sleep.

Ashwagandha Extract

Ashwagandha root extract is a natural compound that is best known for relieving stress and anxiety, which can then help you to fall asleep faster.

70% of participants in a study found that ashwagandha extract eased their insomnia and helped them to achieve better sleep quality after six weeks.

All five are combined in Menoviva™ Men-Vit.

Final Thoughts

Not being able to sleep during menopause can have significant negative impacts on both men and women, from memory and concentration problems to emotional instability and mood swings. Supplementation is one straightforward, natural piece of the puzzle — alongside consistent sleep habits and routine.

Just be sure to check the label and follow the guidelines for safe and effective consumption.
