Vitamin B6 supports menopause reliefImprovement in menopausal symptoms with a nutritional product containing evening primrose oil, hop extract, saffron, tryptophan, vitamins B6, D3, K2, B12, and B9.
Mixed effects on symptom relief
Our exploration involved a study assessing the effectiveness of a nutritional product that includes vitamin B6 among other ingredients, targeted at relieving menopausal symptoms. We engaged 156 menopausal women who took the product daily for 12 weeks, while tracking their experiences using a validated Menopausal Rating Score (MRS).
The findings were promising! Participants reported a significant reduction in various menopausal symptoms. There was a notable drop in hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and other issues associated with menopause. For instance, we observed a 48.15% decrease in hot flashes and a 45.0% decrease in depressive moods among participants.
Although the study did not isolate the effects of vitamin B6, it was part of a blend that appeared to contribute to overall symptom relief. This raises interesting questions about the role of vitamin B6 alongside other ingredients in managing menopausal discomfort effectively.
Overall, it seems that using Exelvit Menopause®, which contains vitamin B6 and several other beneficial ingredients, may help women navigate this stage of life with more ease and comfort.

Vitamin B6 may delay menopauseDietary intake and age at natural menopause: results from the UK Women's Cohort Study.
Moderate relevance to menopause factors
We investigated how dietary factors, particularly vitamin B6, influence the timing of natural menopause in women. Our study focused on women aged 40 to 65 who completed a food frequency questionnaire and recorded their reproductive history.
Over a 4-year follow-up period, we found that a higher intake of vitamin B6 was associated with a delay in the onset of menopause. Specifically, each additional milligram of vitamin B6 consumed each day was linked with a postponement of menopause by 0.6 years. While this suggests that increasing vitamin B6 intake could be beneficial for delaying menopause, it’s important to note that this effect was not isolated from other dietary influences, which may complicate our understanding of its specific role.
We also observed that certain foods like oily fish and fresh legumes were associated with later menopause, while refined pasta and rice were linked to earlier menopause. Our findings underline the potential influence of diet on menopause timing, though we must approach the effects of vitamin B6 with the understanding that it may not act alone.

Vitamin B6 aids menopause anxietyThe impact of essential fatty acid, B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium and zinc supplementation on stress levels in women: a systematic review.
Limited effect sizes on focus
We investigated how vitamin B6 could play a role in alleviating menopause symptoms, particularly anxiety. The study showed that vitamin B6 might be effective in reducing anxiety in older women, especially when paired with other supplements. This points to its potential use as a natural approach to help manage some of the emotional challenges associated with menopause.
It's important to note that while this is promising, the findings weren't isolated. The evaluative study indicated that vitamin B6 was often assessed in combination with other interventions, which could make it tricky to pinpoint its individual effectiveness. However, the insights still suggest that vitamin B6 deserves attention as part of a broader strategy for menopause management.
Therefore, those grappling with menopause might find that including vitamin B6 could help ease anxiety during this transitional phase. Further studies would help clarify its impact when used alone and confirm its benefits.

I am taking this to increase progesterone. Whether you are trying to conceive, have unbalanced hormones or low progesterone, Vitamin B6 can help. During perimenopause, my periods have been unpredictable and heavy with large clots, common symptoms of low progesterone. It's been six weeks since I began taking Solgar's B6 2X/day, and the first symptom to improve was the uncomfortable sensation I had. This month, I ovulated without spotting, and my period was much lighter and more manageable. It's early days, but this approach is helping me regain control over my cycles.
