#4 Support your adrenals with optimal C, B-complex, D3 & herbal “adaptogens” such as Dong Quai, Astragalus, Ashwagandha, Maca & Rhodiola that help the adrenal glands adapt to stress

Adrenals are the main source of hormone supplies during this time of life, so supporting them is key to a healthy menopause.
