Menopause is a significant life transition that can bring various challenges for women and distinguishing products that can really support versus those that merely "Meno-Wash" can be tricky. It’s crucial to understand those genuinely committed to supporting menopausal health and those simply riding the trend. As the conversation surrounding menopause evolves from silence to prominence, we are proud to that our menopause products—Meno Active and Meno Botanicals—have both received the MTick accreditation from GenM, a collective dedicated to empowering women through their menopause journey.
What is MTick Accreditation?
The MTick is the world’s first universal shopping symbol for menopause-friendly products. GenM is a culture movement and collective created in 2020 by founders Heather Jackson (business leader) and Sam Simister (Biochemist).
Major brands such as Boots joined GenM in 2021 but GenM really came into being in 2022 with the creation of a Meno Shopping symbol – the MTick. GenM worked with Boots legal team to create the MTick framework, to create a standard for brands to attain that shows that their products are rooted in science.
Achieving this accreditation means our products have undergone a rigorous evaluation process, demonstrating that they meet GenM’s stringent criteria for effectiveness and safety. Products must provide scientifically backed health claims, undergo clinical trials, and meet one of four key criteria to display the MTick. This gives consumers the assurance that they are choosing products rooted in science and quality.
Understanding the Impact of Menopause and Meno-Washing
- Menopause affects a staggering 1 billion women globally
- Menopause affects approximately 15.5 million people in the UK
- 50% of women are hesitant to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
- Research conducted by GenM reveals that 78% of women would be more inclined to purchase products marketed as “meno-friendly.”
- A mere 45% of women find it easy to shop for menopause-related items in-store, highlighting a significant gap in accessibility and choice within the retail landscape.
Unfortunately, the rising interest in menopause products has led to the phenomenon known as "Meno-Washing," where some brands make misleading claims about their offerings without any scientific backing. This can make it challenging for women to find products that genuinely support their health and well-being.
Meno Active: A Comprehensive Approach to Menopause Support
Meno Active is our flagship menopause super supplement, specially formulated to support women during their perimenopause and menopausal journeys. Featuring a blend of 31 active ingredients, Meno Active offers a 360-degree approach to menopause support, addressing hormonal fluctuations, cognitive challenges, and overall well-being. The formulation now includes Omega-3 capsules enriched with Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for heart and brain health, along with an improved refreshing tropical taste that makes it enjoyable to take daily.
Meno Botanicals: A Simple Solution for Menopause Relief
For those seeking a more straightforward approach, our Meno Botanicals provides a daily dose of five active ingredients in a single capsule. Key ingredients include Ashwagandha, Isoflavones, and Vitamins B6 and B3, which work synergistically to support hormonal activity, brain function, and the nervous system during the menopausal transition. This cost-effective option is perfect for women looking to enhance their well-being as they navigate the changes brought on by menopause.
