Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction Menopausal complaints are a critical aspect of women’s lives. In particular vasomotor symptoms, such as hot flashes, may seriously impact quality of life and are considered the most bothersome complaint by patients. Although Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) is considered the best option, women increasingly ask for a natural and more tailored treatment approach. Areas covered Nutraceutical compounds represent the most widespread alternative therapy for vasomotor symptoms, and their use is somewhat increasing. In this review, the authors analyzed the mechanism of action and the related safety of non-hormonal treatments, including new approaches and future aspects. Expert opinion MHT represents the traditional therapy for menopausal complaints, especially for severe and moderate symptoms; however, evidence has not defined a safety profile for all patients. To address this issue, nutraceuticals could represent a compelling and useful non-hormonal approach in selected patients.
