Why This Matters Now
It’s Menopause Awareness Month, and honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time. At Happy Mammoth, we talk to women every day who are dealing with hot flashes, mood swings, restless nights, and weight changes, and many of them don’t realize these could all be signs of hormone imbalance.
I recently sat down with Dr. Shelly Meyer, one of the amazing doctors we collaborate with, to talk about what women should know before trying hormonal supplements. As Head of Brand, I’m especially passionate about how we communicate with women, especially those around my age, who may not be in perimenopause or menopause yet, but aren’t that far off either. Is now the time to consider hormone-supportive supplements?
Also, while the supplement industry is exploding, so is the confusion. Women are being flooded with conflicting advice, over-the-top promises, and products that sound too good to be true.
Dr. Meyer brought incredible insights to the table, and we want to share the highlights of that conversation with you.

The Hormonal Health Hype: Why Women Are Skeptical
Let’s be honest: social media is a double-edged sword. On one side, it’s full of women finally talking about hormones and menopause (which we love!). On the other, it’s packed with influencers pushing “miracle” gummies and hormone hacks that don’t always have science, or safety, behind them.
Dr. Meyer told us she hears all the time from women who are frustrated. They’re trying to figure out what’s hormonal, what’s stress, what’s lifestyle, and they’re tired of being told to “just meditate more” or take a random supplement and hope for the best.
The truth? Hormones are complex. And no single pill will fix everything. But the right support, rooted in science and personalized care, can make a real difference.
As Dr. Meyer shared with us, “The menopause transition is predictable on paper but messy in real life. In the later stage of perimenopause, when cycles shorten and fluctuate, many women tell me they can’t read their bodies anymore. Symptoms can be intense and long-running, often lasting 7+ years on average and sometimes a decade or more. It’s no wonder so many women feel uncertain and frustrated—but with good information, tailored treatment, and supportive resources like what we focus on at Happy Mammoth, they can gradually rebuild trust in their bodies.”
What to Look For in a Hormonal Supplement
We asked Dr. Meyer what she looks for when evaluating hormone balance supplements, and here’s what she told us:
- Clinically studied dosages: Not just trendy herbs, but ingredients at levels that actually match the research.
- Ingredient transparency: Clear labels, about the products and about the company.
- Third-party testing:Because your health is too important to leave to chance.
- Targeted support: Products that are focused, not trying to be everything at once.
And most importantly? Supplements should support a foundation of good health, like quality sleep, nourishing food, strength training, and stress care, not replace it.
Ingredients With the Most Promise
We dug into some of the ingredients Dr. Meyer sees real potential in, and now we’ve got the science to back them up too:
Maca Root – Traditionally used to boost energy, mood, and libido. Clinical research supports its psychological and mood benefits in postmenopausal women. 1 (Brooks, et al., Menopause 2008)
Chamomile Extract – Calming, gentle, and great for easing sleep troubles and irritability. Chamomile’s digestive and calming benefits have been supported by agencies like Health Canada and the WHO, and its active compound apigenin may help modulate gut health and sleep pathways. 2 (Health Canada, Chamomile Monograph)
Ashwagandha – This adaptogen helps your body manage stress and balance cortisol—two big factors in hormone harmony. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial by Gopal et al. (2021) showed that 600mg of KSM-66 Ashwagandha significantly improved perimenopausal symptoms over 8 weeks, including reductions in hot flashes, mood swings, and quality of life scores. 3 (Gopal, et al., J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2021)
Chaste Tree Berry – Often used for PMS and menopause symptoms like mood swings and irregular cycles. In a randomized, double-blind study by Naseri et al. (2019), chaste berry significantly reduced hot flashes and other symptoms in post-menopausal women compared to placebo. 4 (Naseri, et al., Korean J Fam Med. 2019)
We also love nutrients that often get overlooked but are crucial for hormonal health—like magnesium (one of my absolutely favourites!), vitamin D, and omega-3s.

What Doesn’t Work (and Could Be Harmful)
Here’s where things get real. Not all supplements are created equal. Some things to avoid:
- Blends with 20+ ingredients and no clear info
- Hidden sugars, allergens, or synthetic additives
- Copycat websites and scammy brands that steal product images from other well-positioned brands… like us at Happy Mammoth!
Even we at Happy Mammoth have been targeted by fake websites trying to impersonate our brand and trick customers. Want a tip on how to stay safe?
- We only sell on our official store: www.happymammoth.com, and you can also find select products on our verified Amazon store in the U.S.
- We don’t sell through third-party websites or distributors. If you’re not buying from us directly, there’s a good chance you’re being scammed.
- Scam companies rarely offer customer support. If you can’t reach anyone, they don’t respond to questions, and they avoid refunds… run!
- Not sure if your product is legit? Contact us anytime with the lot number and product info, and we’ll verify it for you.
The Role of Supplements in Menopause Care
So where do supplements actually fit in? According to Dr. Meyer, they’re supportive tools, not magic fixes… And we totally agree!
They’re most effective when paired with lifestyle changes. Think: regular exercise, good sleep, whole foods, and emotional support. When you have that foundation, a targeted supplement can really help ease the rough patches.
As Dr. Meyer puts it: “Start with validation and a clear plan. Recognize the timeline so expectations match reality: symptoms often last years, not months, and it’s normal to feel ‘off’ cognitively or emotionally during this process. Build a strong foundation, regular sleep, resistance training, healthy amounts of protein and fiber, stress-reduction practices, then layer in targeted tools rather than chasing every symptom.”
