Correxiko for Menopause
Supporting You Through Your Menopause Journey With Correxiko
Every woman goes through menopause in her own unique way, and it can be quite a rollercoaster for your body. Menopause is a natural part of a woman's ageing process. As hormone levels shift, many women experience many symptoms, some of which can be extremely challenging. While Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) remains a common solution, many natural remedies can be of benefit to ease the transition, such as collagen, omega-3 from fish oil, vitamin C, and probiotics can help support your wellness and beauty during the menopausal years and beyond.
common symptoms of menopause
Hot Flushes: Sudden feelings of heat, which can lead to sweating and a red, flushed face.
Night Sweats: Hot flashes that occur at night, potentially disrupting sleep.
Mood Changes: Including irritability, depression, and anxiety.
Vaginal Dryness: A lack of moisture in the vaginal area.
Sleep Problems: Difficulties in falling asleep or staying asleep.
Osteoporosis: Reduction in bone density, increasing the risk of fractures.
Skin & hair changes during menopause
Loss of Elasticity: Oestrogen is instrumental in producing collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for skin elasticity and firmness. As oestrogen levels fall during menopause, the production of collagen and elastin decreases. This can lead to loss of firmness in the skin and the formation of wrinkles.
Thinning of the Skin: The drop in oestrogen can cause the skin to become thinner and more fragile. This thinning exposes the skin to bruises and damage more easily.
Dryness: Oestrogen plays a role in the skin's ability to retain moisture. With decreased levels, the skin may lose its ability to retain moisture, leading to increased dryness.
Decreased Blood Flow: Oestrogen also affects the blood vessels in the skin. Reduced oestrogen can lead to decreased blood flow, making the skin appear paler with a loss of its youthful glow.
Thinning hair: Changes in hormonal levels can also result in thinner hair on the scalp, leading to less volume and changes in appearance.
How can collagen help?
Correxiko could be the answer
Boosting Elasticity: Collagen is the most abundant protein in our skin and is responsible for its resilience and elasticity. By supplementing with collagen, one can provide the body with the necessary amino acids to rebuild and repair the skin's collagen fibres, potentially improving its elasticity. As oestrogen levels drop during menopause, the skin loses elasticity. Collagen can help maintain skin's hydration and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Hydration: Collagen has hydrophilic properties, meaning it attracts and retains water. This can help improve the skin's moisture content and combat the dryness experienced during menopause.
Strengthening Skin: Adding collagen to your diet works to boost the skin's thickness, making it more robust and less susceptible to damage and bruises.
Overall Skin Health: Beyond elasticity and hydration, collagen plays a role in skin health, promoting cellular turnover and regeneration.
Hair and Nails: Collagen is not only beneficial for the skin but also plays a role in hair and nail health. As menopause can affect the entire integumentary system (skin, hair, nails), collagen can provide support.
Joint Health: Collagen supports joint tissues, potentially relieving joint pain frequently reported during menopause.
Bone Density: Studies indicate collagen supplements can support bone mineral density, aiding in the prevention plan against osteoporosis.
Collagen and Vaginal Dryness: Collagen, a key structural protein in our bodies, plays a critical role in the elasticity and strength of various tissues, including those of the vaginal walls. The vaginal tissue contains collagen fibres which provide strength and flexibility. With age and the onset of menopause, decreased oestrogen levels can lead to a reduction in collagen production. This can cause vaginal tissues to lose elasticity and become thinner and more fragile, leading to vaginal dryness and discomfort. Collagen helps maintain the mucosal lining of the vagina, which is responsible for producing natural lubrication.

MARINE COLLAGEN CAPSULES
Benefits of Correxiko Wild Marine Collagen Capsules for Menopausal Women
Correxiko Wild Marine Collagen capsules have always been one of our best-selling supplements worldwide, especially for women who are going through the challenges of perimenopause and menopause, where they are experiencing dry skin, thinning nails and hair loss.
Marine collagen is recognised for its ability to enhance skin hydration and elasticity. In particular, Correxiko’s blend ensures an optimum concentration of Type I collagen - the variant specifically associated with the skin's structural integrity and reducing wrinkles, promoting firmness, and giving a naturally healthy glow to the complexion.
Regular intake of collagen can offer increased hair strength and volume, counteracting the thinning and fragility many women share as a challenge during this phase as hair regains its lustre and resilience through the root of vital replenishment of collagen.
Nails, too, experience their share of challenges during menopause, with brittleness and easy breakage becoming commonplace. The rich blend of marine collagen in Correxiko’s capsules helps fortify nails, fostering growth, reducing breakage and making them less prone to chipping and splitting.
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Other ingredients in our Marine Collagen Capsules for improving beauty & wellness during menopause include:
Hyaluronic Acid: Often dubbed the "fountain of youth," hyaluronic acid is a powerful hydration agent. It has the unique ability to retain moisture, holding almost 1000 times its weight in water. For the skin, this means increased hydration, reduced wrinkles, and a plump, youthful appearance. When it comes to hair, this hydration can prevent brittleness and breakage, making strands resilient and glossy.
Vitamin C: A vital cofactor in collagen synthesis, vitamin C enhances the body's ability to produce and utilise collagen. Not just a regular immune booster, vitamin C assists in neutralising free radicals, which can cause oxidative stress and premature ageing. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin from environmental damage, promote radiant skin, strengthen hair follicles, and ensure robust nails.
Zinc: Essential for cell growth and division, zinc plays a pivotal role in maintaining the health of hair, skin, and nails. Zinc deficiencies have been linked to hair loss, and ensuring an adequate intake can promote hair growth and reduce shedding. Furthermore, zinc assists in collagen synthesis and DNA repair, which is paramount for skin rejuvenation.
Manganese: A trace mineral less talked about but with noteworthy benefits. Manganese aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, and blood clotting factors. For the skin, this means improved elasticity and a reduction in wrinkles. It also plays a role in the metabolism of amino acids, which are essential for healthy hair and nails.
Selenium: This powerful antioxidant protects the skin from damage by free radicals and can delay ageing signs. Selenium also promotes hair growth by keeping the scalp healthy, combating dandruff, and preventing hair loss. For nails, its anti-inflammatory properties can prevent brittle and split nails, ensuring they remain strong and healthy.

ULTRA OMEGA 3
How Omega-3 supports the menopausal journey:
Mood Regulation: Omega-3 fatty acids are known to benefit mental health. They may help alleviate mood swings and depressive symptoms.
Bone Health: Omega-3 can help increase calcium in bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Cardiovascular Health: Menopause increases the risk of poor cardiovascular health. Omega-3 aids in promoting a healthy heart by reducing triglycerides and blood pressure.
Omega-3 and Vaginal Dryness: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly those from fish oil, have several properties that could be beneficial for menopausal women experiencing vaginal dryness. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Vaginal dryness can sometimes lead to inflammation and discomfort. By reducing inflammation, omega-3 can help alleviate some of the associated discomfort.
RAW VITAMIN C
Vitamin C's benefits during menopause:
Immunity Booster: Vitamin C strengthens the immune system, aiding overall health.
Skin Health: Combined with collagen, vitamin C promotes skin hydration and elasticity.
Antioxidant: Helps combat oxidative stress, which increases during menopause.
PROBIO+
Why probiotics are crucial during menopause:
Digestive Health: Hormonal changes can affect digestion. Probiotics help maintain gut balance, preventing issues like bloating or constipation.
Mood and Mental Health: The gut-brain axis means a healthy gut can influence a healthy mind. Probiotics may help ease anxiety or depression symptoms.
Bone Health: Emerging research suggests certain probiotics can help increase bone density.
Boosting skin radiance: The health of our gut and skin are intricately linked through the gut-skin axis. An imbalanced gut microbiome, often due to factors like diet, stress, or antibiotics, can lead to inflammation and the production of toxins that can affect the skin. Probiotics help restore the balance of the gut's microbial community, potentially leading to clearer, healthier skin.
