| Abstrakt: | Objective: Safety concerns or contraindications in the use of hormones have resulted in a rise in the use of nutritional medicinal products for the management of menopausal symptoms. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Exelvit Menopause®. Patients and Methods: A prospective, open, observational, and multicentre study was performed, including 156 menopausal women. The patients received the nutritional product containing evening primrose oil 50 mg; hop extract 0.127-0.212 mg; saffron Stigmas Extract 0.6 mg; tryptophan 71.25 mg, vitamins B6, D3, K2, B12, and B9 once per day for 12 weeks. The validated menopausal rating score (MRS) was used for recording symptoms. Results: A decrease in the MRS of all menopausal symptoms was observed after 12 weeks compared to baseline (p < 0. 0001). Overall, hot flashes were reduced by 48.15%, heart discomfort by 33.3%, sleep disturbance by 46.2%, joint and muscular discomfort by 27.8%, depressive mood by 45.0%, irritability by 47.6%, anxiety by 44.4%, physical problems by 36.4%, sexual problems by 30.0%, bladder problems 31.3%, and vaginal dryness by 33.3%.
