Vitamin B12 may aid menopause reliefImprovement in menopausal symptoms with a nutritional product containing evening primrose oil, hop extract, saffron, tryptophan, vitamins B6, D3, K2, B12, and B9.
Moderate relevance due to combination effects
We observed the effects of a nutritional product that combined various ingredients, including vitamin B12, on menopausal symptoms. This study involved 156 menopausal women who took the product daily for 12 weeks and reported their symptoms using a validated scale.
After completing the study, we found significant reductions in various menopause-related issues. This included a substantial 45% decrease in depressive mood and a notable reduction of 48% in hot flashes. It's important to note that while vitamin B12 was included in the treatment, it was part of a broader combination with other beneficial ingredients.
However, we must clarify that the specific impact of vitamin B12 alone cannot be fully determined from this study. The results are promising for the product as a whole, showing effective relief from many menopausal symptoms, but further research is needed to isolate the role of vitamin B12 in managing these symptoms.

vitamin B12 aids menopause dry eyeEfficacy of hyaluronic acid 0.3%, cyanocobalamin, electrolytes, and P-Plus in menopause patients with moderate dry eye disease.
Combination limits specific effect
We explored the impact of vitamin B12, alongside hyaluronic acid and electrolytes, on menopausal women suffering from moderate dry eye disease. In this study, thirty female participants, aged between 45 to 65, received drops that contained 0.3% sodium hyaluronate, vitamin B12, and other electrolytes for a duration of 30 days.
Throughout this period, we tracked their symptoms and performed several tests to gauge the severity of dry eye, including the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and tear film assessments. Our findings indicated that the combination of these treatments significantly decreased the symptoms of dry eye disease. Specifically, we noted a substantial improvement in the scores from the OSDI questionnaire and enhancements in both the tear volume and stability.
The results suggest that vitamin B12 plays a supportive role in alleviating dry eye symptoms during menopause, contributing positively when used with other treatments. While it’s hard to isolate the specific benefits of vitamin B12 due to the combination used, its inclusion in the eye drops appears to aid in improving overall eye health for menopausal women dealing with dryness.
