The journey through the various hormonal phases of the female body is a natural and transformative experience. While menopause is a term widely recognized, perimenopause often remains a lesser-known phase. This lack of awareness can lead individuals with ovaries to feel perplexed about the changes happening within their bodies. What further complicates the matter is that normal perimenopause symptoms can sometimes resemble those of regular menstrual cycles.
This article aims to demystify the concept of perimenopause. We will delve into what perimenopause signifies, shed light on its common symptoms, and provide guidance on navigating this phase. Our goal is to empower individuals to embrace perimenopause and its changes, helping them feel like their best selves, all without the need for additional hormones or soy isoflavones.
Understanding Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the transitional phase that precedes menopause. Menopause itself signifies the conclusion of a female’s reproductive years and is officially reached after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Once this milestone is achieved, the post-menopause phase begins.
Stay tuned for the rest of this insightful guide, which will provide a comprehensive understanding of perimenopause, its typical symptoms, and how to approach it with confidence.
Perimenopause, an essential chapter in a woman’s life, typically unfolds in her 40s, although the exact timing varies from person to person. One distinguishing feature of perimenopause is its potential duration, which can span up to a decade or more before transitioning into menopause. As perimenopause progresses, ovulation becomes less frequent, fertility gradually wanes, and the body steadily produces less estrogen. These changes set the stage for hormonal fluctuations that can influence various aspects of a woman’s life.
Understanding Perimenopause Duration
Once you embark on perimenopause, it’s essential to recognize that this phase can endure for a considerable length of time before menopause becomes official. The ovaries become less regular in releasing eggs, and your reproductive capability declines. Simultaneously, estrogen production decreases, contributing to a myriad of hormonal fluctuations.
Normal Perimenopause Symptoms
Perimenopause accompanies a spectrum of common symptoms, each with its unique intensity and duration:
- Irregular menstrual cycles.
- Occasional mild hot flashes.
- Occasional mild night sweats.
- Mood swings.
- Brain fog.
- Vaginal dryness.
- Sleep disturbances.
- Fluctuating energy levels.
- Low libido.
- Changes in cardiovascular health.
These symptoms, while considered part of a typical perimenopause experience, can significantly impact your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Many women report challenges in their relationships with family members and spouses during this phase. Work-related struggles may arise due to brain fog and reduced energy levels. Estrogen decline can alter how the body stores fat, potentially resulting in increased weight gain in the midsection.
Adding to the complexity, perimenopausal women also contend with common menstrual symptoms such as mild cramps, bloating, breast tenderness, PMS, and skin congestion. Despite a downward trend in estrogen levels, some menstrual cycles may still exhibit estrogen spikes, affecting the frequency and intensity of periods and associated symptoms.
Regrettably, both perimenopause and menopause have received insufficient research attention. Until now, effective solutions for women navigating this intricate phase of life have been scarce. The good news is that you need not confront perimenopause in isolation. Modere presents Ova™-m, a clean-label solution designed to support you during this phase and help you regain a sense of well-being.
Stay tuned for more information on how Modere Ova™-m can assist you on your perimenopausal journey.
When it comes to managing normal perimenopause symptoms, many Western approaches lean on supplemental hormones or plant-based soy isoflavones. These soy isoflavones exert a potent estrogenic effect on the body, effectively mimicking the action of estrogen. While these strategies can prove effective in mitigating typical symptoms, long-term safety remains a subject of concern.
Modere Ova™-m offers a refreshing alternative. This hormone-free and soy isoflavone-free solution is specifically designed to promote optimal female health throughout all three phases of menopause—perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. It is not only considered safe for long-term use, but its ingredients have also demonstrated superior efficacy in alleviating typical perimenopausal symptoms and addressing vaginal dryness compared to soy isoflavones.*‡
At the core of Ova™-m is the proprietary Estro-OS™ Complex, a blend featuring traditional herbs like Angelicas gigas Nakai, Cynanchum wilfordii, and Phlomis umbrosia, complemented by clean label olive and sage extracts. A simple daily regimen of 2 capsules unlocks the potential to:

Whether you’re experiencing the onset of perimenopause or managing the ebbs and flows of a regular menstrual cycle, there’s a tailored solution for you. Let’s explore two pivotal products that cater to different phases:
1. Ova-m: Navigating Perimenopause, Menopause, and Post-Menopause
Ova-m is specifically crafted to provide comprehensive support through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. This hormone-free, soy isoflavone-free formula is developed with the well-being of women in mind, promoting safe and long-term usage. Notably, it outperforms soy isoflavones in addressing typical perimenopausal symptoms and combating vaginal dryness.*‡
The secret behind Ova-m’s effectiveness lies in the exclusive Estro-OS™ Complex. This unique blend comprises traditional herbs like Angelica gigas Nakai, Cynanchum wilfordii, and Phlomis umbrosia, coupled with clean label olive and sage extracts. With just two capsules daily, Ova-m empowers you to:
- Reduce mild hot flashes*
- Alleviate mild night sweats*
- Combat mild vaginal dryness*
- Enhance libido*
- Improve sleep quality*
- Bolster cognitive health*
- Support cardiovascular well-being*
- Safeguard cells against oxidative stress*
- Elevate energy levels*
- Foster a balanced mood*
2. Ova: Syncing with Your Menstrual Cycle
For women who experience regular menstrual cycles and haven’t yet entered perimenopause, Modere’s Ova is the choice for you. Ova’s innovative packaging features three distinct formulas within a single smart blister pack, which sync to your menstrual cycle. These formulas cater to the unique nutrient requirements during your period, pre-ovulation, and post-ovulation phases.*
If you’re experiencing any typical perimenopausal symptoms, it’s advisable to switch to Ova-m, even if you’re still menstruating. The menstrual cycle can become unpredictable as estrogen levels decline, making it challenging to synchronize the Ova blister pack with your cycle. Moreover, your nutritional needs change, rendering Ova’s ingredients potentially less effective.
This shift is particularly relevant for women who have undergone a complete hysterectomy or had both ovaries removed. The ovaries play a pivotal role in hormone production and nutrient synthesis. Their absence initiates perimenopause immediately, followed by menopause one year later. Ova-m offers comfort and support during this abrupt transition.*
Additional Support for Perimenopause
Besides incorporating Ova-m into your routine, there are other ways to ease your transition through declining estrogen levels and support your physical and mental well-being:
- Build a robust nutritional foundation with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber. Complement it with a multivitamin such as Modere Adult Multivitamin or the daily vitamin pack Modere Axis™ OptiPack™, along with Modere Axis™ Phytos for added support.
- Stay active with regular exercise, and if midsection fat poses a concern, consider the Lean Body System, featuring Trim, Burn, and Activate. Clinical evidence indicates that this combination may help boost fat metabolism, reduce fat cell size, and prevent new fat cell formation when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.*
- Limit your consumption of alcohol and caffeine, as these may be associated with increased hot flashes and night sweats.
- Support your body’s natural collagen production with a science-backed supplement like Liquid BioCell®. Collagen and estrogen levels are interlinked, and offering supplementary support for joints and skin is crucial as estrogen and collagen decrease during perimenopause. Liquid BioCell, renowned for its multiple patents and accolades, is proven to boost skin collagen content, support healthy cartilage, and maintain active joints. Furthermore, it may aid in reducing hyaluronidase, an enzyme linked to skin aging.*
