My personal experience with menopause with no hormonal intervention, no soy (at all because I'm on an MAOI and they don't mix), no nothing, has been that letting my hormones drop is the best thing I can do. As my levels lower and menopause is more complete I am having fewer episodes. This one is a bear but it is the first bad one in 2 years; 2-3 years ago the bad ones were constant.

I've been fine with a daily multi-vit, calcium and Vit. B complex. I also take vit. D after a bloodtest showed that I was extremely deficient a few years ago (because the meds keep me out of the sun). That's it, no changes for menopause. So far so good. I do need to ask if I need to go to a vitamin for older women as I've had early menopause (I'm 39 and nearly done) but that's it.

Just my experience.
