The menopause affects everyone differently, but for many, it can be a challenging period to navigate. Typically beginning between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average being 52 in the US, many women experience hot flashes, mood swings and fatigue that can have a heavy and unpredictable impact on day-to-day life.
As with many biological processes, you can ease things along with the right natural supplements. That’s the firm belief of Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson, whose WelleCo brand produces specially-formulated elixirs designed to give women’s bodies everything they need to more effectively manage their menopause.
The Super Elixir is a daily all-in-one supplement that includes over 40 nutritious ingredients. It’s designed to support your natural energy management and sense of vitality, healthy digestion, cognitive function and clarity, healthy hair, skin, and nails, metabolisation of fat, and the immune system. Packs start from £62, but right now you can claim 15%-off sitewide with the code SUPERWELLE15. Subscriptions are available in one to three-month denominations, with a 20% saving applied to those too.

It’s vegan-friendly, non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten-free, and and contains no artificial colours or added sugar.
WelleCo’s customers rave about the Super Elixir’s benefits, with 4.7 out of 5 stars awarded across almost 8,500 reviews. Of those, over 6,800 gave the full five stars.
“I honestly can’t believe how much better I feel after a week of taking this supplement!” said one customer. “It gives me such a boost and really helps clear my brain fog… and gives me so much energy. Wholeheartedly recommend to women of all ages and definitely those going through menopause.”
“I had a bilateral mastectomy in 2017 so have really been feeling severe menopausal symptoms,” said another review. “The Super Elixir definitely helps me sleep, helps the bloating, and my joints don't ache as bad. I am an avid exerciser and have a good nutritional programme already, so this addition is the icing on the cake!”

WelleCo)Another five-star review said: “My body has changed drastically over the last year due to menopause. My hair and nails are dull and don't grow. I've never struggled with weight but put on 30lbs that I can't seem to lose no matter how I eat or the amount of exercises I do. I don't recognize myself at all. I ordered the unflavoured Super Elixir. Within a week, I definitely have more energy. This new energy gets me through the day without needing caffeine. I'm sleeping better too. I can't wait to see the effects after a month. Highly recommend!"
Less-positive reviews focus on flavour preferences, with some customers struggling to find the best one for their tastes. “I liked that the powder is very fine and soluble, but unfortunately I found this flavour too hard to drink,” said one review of the pineapple and lime flavour. Another customer disliked the texture: “Not feeling any benefits as yet. The powder remains gritty when stirred into water with a spoon, also trued whisking it but no difference. Thought it would improve being blended (with almond milk) in a NutriBullet, but unfortunately not. The mouth feel is unpleasant and the grittiness catches on the back of the throat.”
