October is Menopause Month, a time to open up the conversation around a transition that every woman experiences differently.
Menopause — and the years leading up to it, known as perimenopause — can bring changes to everything from hair and skin to mood, energy, sleep, libido and overall well-being. While these shifts are a natural part of life, that doesn’t mean you have to simply ignore them.
At The GLW Shop, we believe in supporting your body through every phase. This month, we’re highlighting a few of our wellness essentials designed with women’s changing needs in mind.
Wellbel Women+: Hair Support Through Perimenopause & Menopause
Hormonal changes can show up in unexpected places — including your hair.
Wellbel Women+ is a physician-formulated daily supplement specifically developed for women 45+ and designed to support healthy hair during perimenopause, menopause and beyond. The vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO formula features ingredients including MSM, saw palmetto, silica, copper, zinc, biotin, vitamin D3, B12 and selenium to support healthy hair, skin and nails.
For women noticing changes in hair thickness or overall hair health as they age, it’s an easy addition to a daily wellness routine.
Balangy Balancing Hormones Body Oil: A Ritual for Every Phase
Sometimes, wellness is just as much about the ritual as what’s inside the bottle.
Balangy Balancing Hormones Body Oil is a topical botanical body oil created for women through PMS, perimenopause and menopause. The formula combines Wild Yam Root and Chasteberry with Cramp Bark, Maca and Geranium in a nourishing base of sweet almond and castor oils.
Massage it into the body as part of your morning or evening routine for a moment of intentional self-care and connection with your body.
Herbalore Platinum Flash: Hormonal & Sexual Wellness Support
Changes in libido, energy and mood can all become part of the conversation during menopause.
Herbalore Platinum Flash is an adaptogenic formula developed with hormonal and sexual wellness in mind. Its blend includes ingredients such as maca, fenugreek, nettle leaf, pine pollen, tongkat ali, mucuna pruriens and boron.
The formula is positioned to support areas such as mood, energy, libido and overall hormonal wellness, including during menopause and post-menopause.
Collagen: Supporting Hair, Skin & More From Within
Collagen production naturally changes as we age, which is one reason collagen has become such a staple in many beauty and wellness routines.
We’ve curated several options depending on how you like to incorporate collagen into your day.
Agent Nateur Holi (Mane) combines marine collagen and pearl powder in an odourless, nearly tasteless blend. It also contains more than 30 trace minerals, including silica, magnesium, calcium and potassium, and is formulated with hair, skin and nail health in mind.
You can also explore Sera & Mattina Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides and Shore Magic Marine Collagen Powder for simple ways to make collagen part of your everyday wellness routine.
Your Body Is Changing — Your Routine Can Too
Menopause isn’t something that needs to be hidden or whispered about. It’s another stage of life — and one that deserves more conversation, education and thoughtful support.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause or simply thinking ahead, this month is a reminder to pay attention to what your body is asking for. Your wellness routine at 45, 50 or 55 doesn’t have to look the same as it did at 25 — and that’s okay.
From targeted supplements and botanical body care to collagen and daily rituals, small additions can help you create a routine that feels supportive, intentional and uniquely yours.
Here’s to feeling good through every phase.
As always, supplements and wellness products aren’t one-size-fits-all. Speak with your healthcare provider before introducing a new supplement, particularly if you take medication or are managing a health condition.
