The menopause journey is a unique journey for every woman. Whilst some seem to breeze through the ‘transition’ with hardly a hot flush, most can experience up to 48 different physical and psychological symptoms that can range from mild to debilitating. Typically, these might include irregular periods, mood swings, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, decline in libido, bone loss and weight gain as well as the dreaded hot flushes and night sweats.
It’s no surprise 2 in 3 women feel blindsided by the menopause (GenM). But don’t worry, we’re here to help you feel better prepared and equipped for the journey ahead.
The Difference between Perimenopause and Menopause?
Perimenopause usually begins during your 40s or early 50s and can last several years. During perimenopause, oestrogen, and progesterone production declines until it eventually stops. Typical symptoms during this stage include mood changes, weight gain and changes to the skin including acne and dryness.
How to tell if you’re in the menopause? Once you’ve experienced 12 months without a period, you’ve officially entered menopause.
How Does Menopause Affect the Skin?
A common concern for women is how the perimenopause and menopause visibly affects their appearance. Hair tends to thin and lose its bounce, and a previously supple complexion often becomes saggy, dull, and dehydrated leading to fine lines and wrinkles.
These changes to skin and hair occur because oestrogen production correlates with collagen levels. Collagen is a protein which acts as a support structure or scaffold for the skin so when we’re young and have an abundant supply, the complexion is firm and plump. Not to mention that collagen peptides also play a role in the health of our hair, nails, bones, muscles, and blood.
During the first five years of menopause, women significantly lose around 30% of collagen in their skin. This decrease in collagen unfortunately translates into poor skin elasticity, lower resilience and the skin cells become less able to retain moisture, all of which impact our once glowing, youthful complexion.
How Our World-First Menopause Range Can Help You
During this natural transition, it's vital to support your hormonal and overall health and wellbeing. That’s why we have developed the Revive Collagen Menopause Range alongside leading menopause expert, Dr Shahzadi Harper, to support you through every stage of the menopause.
Revive Collagen only uses Type 1 Hydrolysed Marine Collagen because it has smaller molecules which are more easily digested and transported into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum results - did you know in liquid form it has up to 95% absorption rates and is 20 times more effective than the average tablet or gummy?
Peri Menopause
Formulated to help you during your perimenopausal stage, the Revive Collagen Perimenopause Collagen Drink contains 5,000mg of marine collagen, Inositol, Vitamins B6, B7 (Biotin) and B12 to help with weight changes, manage blood sugar levels, improve brain cognition, help reduce fatigue and support the normal function of key body systems including the nervous and immune system.
With added Selenium, this exceptional formulation in a lovely passion fruit flavour will help to preserve skin elasticity, minimising the formation of further lines and wrinkles. Don’t take our word for it though because Samantha Smith, who completed a two-week trial taking this product has this to say;
“It goes without saying the sachets are portable and can be taken anywhere with you, the taste is sweet passion fruit which I loved. I definitely noticed I slept better, therefore my concentration levels improved, I had more energy, and my skin was glowing. I think longer term use would definitely improve women’s symptoms and I can’t wait to swap over to them. Thank you Revive for understanding and helping women’s bodies.”
