The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a daily nutritional supplement can reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Does the supplement reduce the number and severity of daily hot flashes?
Does it improve other common menopausal symptoms?
Researchers will compare the supplement to a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no active ingredients) to see if it helps manage symptoms during menopause.
Participants will:
Take either the supplement or a placebo daily for 30 days
Track their hot flashes each day using a short online survey
Complete a symptom questionnaire at the beginning and end of the study
