Do you know of a good natural vitamin to help relieve mood swings and irritability of menopause?

Question

Must be natural and over the counter...

Answer 1

The meditative breathing exercise called paced respiration has been shown to significantly reduce hot flashes and emotional symptoms. This approach has no known side effects, risks, or costs and can be safely combined with additional treatment, if needed.
Black cohosh (Remifemin, 20 mg) is shown by some studies to prevent or relieve a broad range of menopause symptoms for many women.Other studies have shown no improvement. Safety of long-term use beyond 6 months is not yet known. (Risks similar to estrogen risks are a possibility.) Have regular checkups if you are using black cohosh, and make sure your health professional knows what you are taking.
Soy phytoestrogens are in more complete form when included in your daily diet, rather than in dietary supplements. Regularly eating and drinking soy may help even out menopause symptoms, but studies have yet to clearly demonstrate that soy is effective for treating hot flashes.
Yoga (which often includes meditative breathing) and/or biofeedback give you tools you can use to reduce stress. Heightened stress is likely to worsen your symptoms.
Based on the latest research, some therapies are not recommended for menopause symptoms, either because they are not effective or because they can cause dangerous effects. These include:

Kava, evening primrose, dong quai, valerian, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and angelica.
Wild yam or natural progesterone creams.
