Why it matters

Postmenopausal women often experience sleep disruption, vasomotor symptoms, and body composition changes, yet many seek non-hormonal options. This trial provides moderate-quality evidence that a widely available supplement may address several of these concerns simultaneously, offering a potential adjunct for clinicians managing menopause-related quality-of-life issues.
