Over 50% of women will experience this in menopause and if using a GLP-1 , this is even more frustrating! After counseling patients on constipation for 38 years, these are the supplements I wish more women in menopause (and GLP-1 users) knew about. If you’re taking fiber, drinking plenty of water, and using a probiotic but still struggling to stay regular, this may be why… Fluctuating hormones can cause over 50% of women to experience constipation during menopause ( decreased progesterone can slow down colon muscles and decreased estrogen also slows down GI transit) and GLP-1 medications can make it even worse. Here’s what I suggest: ✨ Magnesium- A menopause essential. Magnesium can support relaxation, sleep, and help keep things moving naturally. ✨ Digestive Enzymes- As we age, digestion changes. Digestive enzymes may help support digestion, reduce bloating, and improve regularity. @mineralmoon has a digestive enzyme blend that also contains senna for those times you need extra support. ✨ Prebiotics Think of these as food for your probiotics. Without enough prebiotic fiber, your probiotic may not work as effectively. @nationhealthmd has a great prebiotic with XOS, artichoke root, chicory root and apple pectin.
