What's Ashwagandha Anyway?
Known as an adaptogen, Ashwagandha helps your body adapt to stress and promotes a sense of calm and balance. It's like giving your nervous system a big, warm hug.
Plus, studies have shown that Ashwagandha can help reduce cortisol levels, the pesky stress hormone that likes to wreak havoc on our bodies.

The Power of Vitamin D2
Vitamin D2, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," plays a crucial role in mood regulation (the important one for this cocktail), immune function, and bone health.
However, as we age our bodies often become less efficient at producing Vitamin D from sunlight alone, making conscious supplementation, through diet and/or taking vitamins, so important.
Zinc: The Unsung Hero
Zinc plays a multitude of roles in the body, from supporting the immune system to aiding in wound healing and DNA synthesis.
As an antioxidant, Zinc helps combat oxidative stress and promotes cellular health. Zinc is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body, making it crucial for various physiological processes.
From supporting cognitive function to maintaining a healthy metabolism, Zinc truly earns its title as an unsung hero in the realm of menopausal wellness, and is the perfect cherry on top of this blend.

As always, consult with your healthcare professional before introducing new supplements, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
Here's to your health, my lovely ladies - cheers to finding your zen! :)Â
