Other Power Supplements for Perimenopause

• Grape seed extract (50 mg twice

  a day) is effective against PMS related bloating.

• Rutin (200-400 mg) strengthens blood

  vessels and helps to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding.

• Vitamin E (800-2,000 IU)

  d-alpha tocopherol helps to reduce mood swings, anxiety, menstrual

  pain and hot flashes.

• Quercitin, a potent antioxidant,

  also reduces the inflammation of endometriosis (take 300-600 mg

  a day).

• Calcium (800-1,200 mg a day) for PMS

  relief and maintenance of bone density.

• Iron (15-30 mg), higher

  dose for heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia.

• Iodine (150-225 mcg), promotes

  thyroid and breast health.

• Bromelain (500 mg) aids

  digestion and reduces the pain and inflammation of endometriosis.

Take supplements cautiously. Start with 1/4 to

1/3 of the daily dose I’m listing here and see how you feel. You

can increase gradually over two to four weeks to the full dosage.

Women with a history of food allergies or chemical sensitivities

may want to stay at a lower dosage, perhaps half of the full dose.
