FAQs

Although we have formulated our range to ensure there are no known contra-indications with the ingredients in our blends and body-identical HRT, we always advise that you speak to your doctor first. Then, if you'd like to discuss options further, you can book a free consultation with our resident naturopath. Simply email us at healthconcierge@mpowder.store and we’ll get right back to you.

Mood-Food can be taken at any point in your midlife journey to target the specific symptoms of brain fog, sleep issues and anxiety. Peri-Boost is then designed to be taken from the beginning of your perimenopause journey which for most of us is likely to be 40+. Meno-Boost is a great foundation layer from 45+ as symptoms tend to shift. Please ensure you check the ingredients in our blends to assess the safety and speak to your health practitioner if you have any concerns, an underlying health condition, or are on medication. Then, if you have any further questions, take our quiz or drop us a line at healthconcierge@mpowder.store.

Our MPowder Find your Blend tool is designed to help you select the right blend for the lifestage you are in, now. But if you are in doubt, please email us at yourteam@mpowder.store.

If you're on any medication and / or you've been prescribed supplementation for a vitamin deficiency you should always check with your doctor before introducing MPowder to your daily routine. But our foundational blends are designed to deliver a foundational layer. This means that you are unlikely to need to purchase additional vitamin and mineral supplements to get the foundational support your body needs. The one additional supplement you may want to consider or continue, if not present in your diet, is a good high-dose source of Omega-3. Our capsule powders target identified ‘cluster symptoms’ so you may need additional supplements if you have additional needs.

Our formulas contain a rich blend of natural energy-giving sources. Making MPowder part of your morning routine ensures you receive maximum benefit.

Peri-Boost and Meno-Boost are free from nasty caking agents and bulking agents and packed full of wholefoods. This means the mixture can separate if left to stand more than 30 minutes after blending.

All of the products in our range are designed to be taken every day.

In the first 1-3 weeks of introducing products from our range, you may experience an increase in bowel movements and changes in stool consistency as a result of the detox properties of our blends. However, if you experience extreme discomfort or diarrhoea, it may be that you need to introduce our product more gradually.

All our powdered formulas have a functional taste due to their plant-based formulation and the inclusion of bitter herbs. Unlike other brands, we purposefully don’t add masking agents or artificial flavours, so that you get the full benefit of pure, natural nourishment. For some, the flavour may take time to get used to. If taste is a struggle, don’t struggle alone. Simply drop us a line at healthconcierge@mpowder.store and we’ll find a solution that works for you!

MPowder can be added to hot ingredients but to preserve the nutritional hit, we don't recommend baking with our blends.

Our community efficacy studies indicate that most people start to see improvements to their symptoms within 4-6 weeks. But every body is different. And how you live, plus outside factors play a huge part in how you transition through menopause. Our recommendation is to commit to taking MPowder every day for 3 months. And to work with us to introduce other lifestyle changes to really see an impact.

Each of our products contain ingredients at the therapeutic dosage levels that have shown potential in the lab studies. We also undertake our own efficacy studies and report on our findings. But every body is different. To ensure you can measure the impact our blends have on you, why not sign up to our symptom tracking service - free with every 30 day supply. It allows you to assess impact - and, with our personalised reporting, allows us to tailor tips and recommendations just for you. To learn more, drop us a line at healthconcierge@mpowder.store.

Please check the ingredients in our blends prior to purchase. All allergens are clearly marked in bold.

Please contact your health provider immediately.

All of our products are designed to give you a dosage within accepted daily levels of intake. We do not recommend you exceed the stated dosage.

Mood-Food can be taken alongside our Peri-Boost. It has some of the same core ingredients as Meno-Boost (both formulations contain KSM-66® Ashwagandha and Lemon Balm at recommended daily dosages). However, it can be considered on an individual basis if these cluster symptoms are persistent. Simply book time for a call with us first!

If you have been taking our foundational blends for more than 3 months and are still experiencing symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep and fatigue, Mood-Food may be what you need. This formulation was formulated to provide an additional boost to the most persistent symptoms we see in our community across the menopause journey. Equally, you may choose to try Mood-Food on its own first, as these cluster symptoms are often early signs of perimenopause.

We’re very proud to be a brand based on insight and community. And, over the last two years, our tracking studies have highlighted the persistent nature of these cluster symptoms for many in our community. Whilst we see a downward trajectory of symptom severity, sometimes life events mean we need an additional boost to keep us feeling balanced. In addition, many of us will notice changes in mood, brain fog and sleep disturbances ‘first’ and want to tackle these symptoms first too.

We recommend you take Mood-Food in the morning, so you can benefit from its anxiolytic as well as cognition, mood and energy-boosting properties throughout the day. Don’t worry about sleep! The adaptogenic qualities of this formula mean it will also support sleep at night time.

You can open the capsule and dilute the powder content in a small amount of water. Note that due to the presence of turmeric, it may stain so make sure you do it over the sink!

See links in the “References” section below.

Everyone is different but you should see results after 1 month if you take the formula daily. However, as with any supplement, diet or lifestyle change, for optimal results, we advise sticking to this protocol for a minimum of 3 months.

Because we know from our community, as well as research into the most persistent menopause symptoms, that these 3 often start in early perimenopause and can extend beyond menopause with a significant impact on quality of life. These cluster symptoms are critical to address because they also have the potential to impact our long-term health too.

We use natural sources wherever we can - there are two instances where this can be an issue.

1. Volume, where natural sources of some vitamins require so much 'bulk' we can not always accommodate them within our serving size.

2. In some instances, there simply isn't a wholefood-led source of the beneficial vitamin.

However, we always ensure we compliment any synthetic ingredient with a wholefood boost in our formulation.
