1. Which menopause supplement by MenoMe® is right for me?
Choose your menopause supplement according to your stage and the area in which you want support.
Merry Peri® is our broad-spectrum perimenopause formula with affron® saffron, fenugreek and sage.
Perky Post® provides stage-appropriate support once you have reached post-menopause. It includes affron® saffron, fenugreek and sage with the added support of vitamin D3 & K2 and resveratrol.
Shake It Off® with Feiolix® supports healthy weight management, blood sugar balance, feelings of hunger, cravings and metabolism.
Happy Go Tummy® with Livaux® supports the gut microbiome and regularity.
LotsaLocks® with keraGEN® supports healthy hair growth, strength and density as well as more radiant skin and stronger nails.
If several changes are happening at once – and menopause often comes with that – you can combine complementary products or choose a bundle.

2. What’s the difference between Merry Peri® and Perky Post®?
Merry Peri® is formulated for perimenopause. Perky Post® is formulated for post-menopause.
Both contain evidence-based amounts of affron® saffron, fenugreek and sage to support normal body temperature, restful sleep, healthy mood and mental clarity.
Perky Post® also contains resveratrol and vitamins D3 and K2, providing additional support for bone strength and cognition.
Choose:
- Merry Peri® if you are still having periods – even irregular ones – or are experiencing the hormonal fluctuations of perimenopause.
- Perky Post® once you have gone 12 consecutive months without a period and have reached post-menopause.
You would generally choose one or the other, rather than taking both, but you can interchange if you’d like the added support of Perky.

3. Do menopause supplements by MenoMe® contain hormones?
No. menopause supplements by MenoMe® don’t contain added hormones or estrogen.
Merry Peri® and Perky Post® with affron® contain evidence-based botanical extracts selected to support the body through the changes associated with perimenopause and post-menopause.
Happy Go Tummy® with Livaux® is a synbiotic, meaning it combines a prebiotic from gold kiwifruit with a probiotic derived from cheese.
LotsaLocks® with keraGEN® contains bioactive keratin from sheep wool.
Shake It Off® contains Feiolix® feijoa whole fruit powder with chromium.
They are dietary supplements, not hormone replacement therapy, but there are no contraindications that we know of when taken with hormone therapy. However, they also don’t replace medical assessment or treatment if that is needed.
Always read the individual product label, particularly if you take medication, have an existing health condition or are preparing for surgery.
4. Can I take MenoMe® supplements with HRT?
Possibly, but there are different types of HRT and individual health circumstances count. Check your proposed combination of menopause supplement with your doctor, pharmacist or qualified health practitioner.
Being estrogen-free doesn’t automatically rule out every possible interaction with medicines or health conditions.
Important examples include:
- Perky Post® should not be taken with warfarin and should be stopped one week before surgery.
- If you use diabetes medication with Shake It Off®, monitor your blood sugar and discuss it with your healthcare provider.
- Happy Go Tummy® should be avoided if you have a kiwifruit or latex allergy.
- Merry Peri® and Perky Post® have not been studied for use with hormone-sensitive cancers.
5. Can I take different MenoMe® products together?
Yes. Merry Peri® and Perky Post® are designed to work in harmony with Happy Go Tummy®, LotsaLocks® or Shake It Off®.
You would usually select either Merry Peri® or Perky Post® according to your menopause stage, then add support for your other concerns.
For example:
- Perimenopause and gut support: Merry Peri® + Happy Go Tummy®
- Post-menopause and hair support: Perky Post® + LotsaLocks®
- Perimenopause and weight support: Merry Peri® + Shake It Off®
- Weight and gut support: Shake It Off® + Happy Go Tummy®
Our bundles bring these complementary formulas together and are usually the smartest way to buy when you want more than one product.
If you take medication or have a health condition, check the full combination with your healthcare provider first.
6. How long do MenoMe® supplements take to work?
The timeframe depends on the product, what you are supporting and your individual body. Consistent daily use is important.
As a general guide:
- Merry Peri®: Allow around four to six weeks.
- Perky Post®: Allow around four to six weeks.
- Shake It Off®: Take it consistently for at least eight weeks before assessing it.
- LotsaLocks®: Allow approximately 90 days because hair grows in cycles.
- Happy Go Tummy®: Gut changes are gradual, so take it daily and give it time to settle in.
Some women notice changes sooner. Others need longer. No supplement works in precisely the same way or timeframe for everyone, which is why we back our products with a 60-day or 90-day money-back guarantee.
7. Which MenoMe® product supports menopause weight management?
Shake It Off® with Feiolix® supports healthy weight management, blood sugar balance and feelings of hunger during menopause.
It contains Feiolix®, a whole-fruit feijoa powder, with chromium picolinate.
Shake It Off® is not a stimulant, crash diet or menopause version of a magic wand. It’s designed to complement a balanced eating pattern, regular movement, strength training and the other lifestyle factors that matter for midlife metabolic health.
Take two capsules daily on an empty stomach, approximately 30 minutes before food. We recommend using them consistently for at least eight weeks.
For more complete support, the Shake It Off® System provides an evidence-based eating framework, tools, metabolic library and ongoing support.
8. Which product supports menopause gut health and regularity?
Happy Go Tummy® supports gut microbiome balance, comfortable digestion and bowel regularity.
It combines Livaux®, an award-winning prebiotic made from New Zealand gold kiwifruit, with a probiotic cultured from New Zealand cheese.
Take two capsules together with food each day.
A few important details:
- Happy Go Tummy® is vegetarian, but not vegan.
- The probiotic is dairy-derived.
- Avoid it if you have a kiwifruit or latex allergy.
- Increase dietary fibre gradually and drink enough water alongside it.
Happy Go Tummy® can be taken with Merry Peri®, Perky Post®, Shake It Off® or LotsaLocks®.
9. Which MenoMe® product supports thinning menopausal hair?
LotsaLocks® supports healthy hair growth, strength, anchoring and density from the inside out.
It contains scientifically researched keraGEN-IV®, a digestible form of keratin made from the wool of New Zealand sheep, along with biotin.
LotsaLocks® is best suited to hair follicles that are still producing hair but need nutritional support. It can’t restore hair where the follicle is no longer active.
Take one capsule daily, with or without food, and allow approximately 90 days before assessing the result. Hair grows slowly in stages, including resting, shedding and growth.
LotsaLocks® is sustainably sourced and vegetarian but not vegan.
Sudden or patchy hair loss, scalp pain, scarring or significant shedding should be assessed by a trichologist or other specialist.
10. Should I buy one product, a starter kit or a bundle?
Choose one product for one main concern, the Peri Starter Kit if you’re new to perimenopause, or a bundle when you want to stock up or to cover several areas.
Choose an individual product if:
- You have one clear priority.
- You want to try a formula before adding anything else.

What makes MenoMe® supplements different?
We use high-quality, evidence-based ingredients in amounts recommended by researchers rather than smaller amounts inside a less expensive, proprietary blend.
These include:
- affron® saffron in Merry Peri® and Perky Post®
- Livaux® New Zealand gold kiwifruit prebiotic in Happy Go Tummy®
- keraGEN-IV® bioactive keratin in LotsaLocks®
- Feiolix® whole-fruit feijoa extract in Shake It Off®
Our products are made or encapsulated in New Zealand, supported by a 60-day or 90-day money-back guarantee and backed by a New Zealand team.
We are women in our thirties through sixties, so there’s a good amount of lived experience in the building too.

We would honestly rather help you choose one suitable product than have you staring at five bottles, overwhelmed by choice and wondering what on earth to do next.
Always read the label and use only as directed. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet or individual medical care. Talk to a qualified health practitioner before use if you take medication, have an existing health condition, are pregnant, breastfeeding or preparing for surgery.
