Find out more below about how Linwoods Menoligna can help with menopause symptoms
The onset of menopause can bring physical and emotional challenges for many women. Hormones are in constant flux, resulting in hot flushes, sleep disturbances, weight gain, low mood and more menopause symptoms.
Linwoods, leading health food brand, is here to help with its natural seed blend, Menoligna, which has been specifically developed for women during the various stages of menopause.
Menoligna is a plant-based blend of sprouted milled flaxseed and milled chia seeds with added flax hull lignans and is high in key vitamins and minerals. It’s a natural food-based solution for busy women during menopause, enabling them to take a proactive, easy approach to managing menopause symptoms through nutrition.

- Has an impressive 96% of the daily recommended intake of Vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity
- Contains Vitamin B12 which can reduce tiredness and fatigue, a common symptom in menopause
- Includes Calcium, Vitamin D and K2 which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
- Includes Omega 3 which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels

What are Lignans?
Flaxseeds are an important source of a group of phytoestrogens called lignans. Lignans are concentrated in the outer shell, or hull, of the flaxseed. The sprouted form of flaxseed found in Menoligna is a particularly good source of lignans. Each 30g serving of Linwoods Menoligna contains 300mg of Lignans.
Lignans have been shown to have a modulating effect on oestrogen, so at peri-menopause and menopause when our body’s oestrogen levels are naturally reducing, they have been found to gently and safely optimise oestrogen levels without any adverse side effects.
How to use:
Linwoods Menoligna is easy to use and can be added to all kinds of food and drink. Simply add the recommended serving every day of two dessertspoonfuls to your breakfast, yogurt, smoothies, soups, salads and more for optimal health benefits.
Whipping up some protein pancakes with fruit or baked apple oats for a weekend treat has never been easier. Or, why not be prepared for weekday snacks and bake a nutritious nutty seed loaf to easily get your daily serving.
Emma Bardwell, nutritionist, author and women’s health specialist comments “Linwoods Menoligna is a 360-degree product which targets multiple menopause symptoms. It’s packed with lignans and key nutrients that can manage menopause symptoms and maintain a healthy diet. Quick and easy to use, it’s a product that should be a staple in the store cupboard of everyone who is going through the menopause transition.”
Emma’s top tips to manage menopause symptoms through nutrition:
Eat like a Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Diet has potent anti-inflammatory properties, contains little to no processed foods, is low in sugar and high in fibre. Where there’s stress, inflammation usually follows and it is widely accepted that inflammation is the precursor to many of the chronic diseases and autoimmune conditions that women are susceptible to, including arthritis, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and hypothyroidism.
Get more plants on your plate
A healthy eating plan that includes plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables can help lower your risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and some cancers. Plant-based foods also provide essential food, called prebiotics, that help your gut microbes thrive. Good gut health is vital during menopause, affecting everything from your hormones to your mood to your immunity.
Power up on protein
I can’t stress enough the importance of protein – even if you do nothing else, make this the star of the show when it comes to planning your meals. It provides the literal building blocks for every cell in your body – from hormones, bones and DNA to skin, nails and hair.
Fight the fatigue
If your energy is tanking, I strongly advise you to get your ferritin (stored iron), folate (B9), vitamin D and B12 levels checked, especially if you’re suffering from heavy periods (or have done in the past) or eat a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Factor in phytoestrogens
Phytoestrogens – particularly in the early stages of perimenopause – might help with menopause symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats. The two most studied phytoestrogens are isoflavones (found mostly in soya) and lignans (mostly found in flaxseeds and legumes), which both have a very mild oestrogenic effect in the body.
Make friends with fibre
The current recommendation is a fibre intake of 30g a day; most of us get only just over half that. Soluble fibre in the form of oats and fruit, such as figs and pears, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and feed our good gut bacteria. Insoluble fibre from things like wholegrains (brown rice, spelt, oats, quinoa, freekah), nuts and seeds is useful for bulking up poo and making it easier to push out.
