FAQs
What we leave out:
Free from gluten, dairy, lactose, soy, sugar and nuts.
How long will it take for my menopause symptoms to improve?
You may notice improvements within a few weeks. But for some women, menopausal symptoms should begin to subside within 4-8 weeks. Symptoms are, of course, unique to the individual.
Can I have these products while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don’t recommend SWIISH Peri + Meno Relief or Bone + Heart Health during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please refer to the nutritional information & ingredients list.
Is there any benefit to taking Peri + Meno Relief if you’re not in menopause (excluding pregnancy & breastfeeding)?
Yes — this formulation is rich in antioxidants and also supports a range of other areas of health including menstrual health/PMS symptoms, immune support, wound healing, sleep disturbances, nervousness, irritability, sluggish digestion, oral health and blood sugar regulation.
Will Peri + Meno Relief help me if I’m in the middle of a hot flush?
The best approach is a consistent one — with daily use of Peri + Meno Relief you will notice a decrease in menopausal symptoms. It’s not like a headache tablet, it’s a supplement — consistent use yields best results.
What makes Bone + Heart Health unique?
Bone + Heart Health is specially formulated to offer targeted support for bone mass and density, heart health and blood health. We included calcium as it’s the most abundant mineral in the body and absolutely vital for good health, vitamin D because it’s essential for calcium absorption and vitamin k2 (menaquinone 7) as it increases calcium absorption, promotes the calcification of bones yet also prevents the calcifications of blood vessels and kidneys.
The Science
PERI + MENO RELIEF — Night Sweats
A night sweat is a hot flush that happens at night as a result of changing hormones. It is the sudden flushing of warmth in the upper body, often causing excessive sweating and they may disrupt your sleep. Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa) is traditionally used to prevent excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and spontaneous night sweating. Similarly, Sage (Salvia officinalis) is traditionally used to reduce excessive perspiration and sweats associated with menopause. Likewise, Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa root) is frequently used for the relief of menopausal complaints such as night sweats.

PERI + MENO RELIEF — Hot Flushes
A hot flush is the sudden feeling of warmth in the upper body and is usually most intense over the face, neck and chest, often causing excessive sweating. Sage (Salvia officinalis) is frequently used in herbal medicine to help reduce hot flushes and/or night sweats associated with menopause. Similarly, Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa root) is often used for the relief of menopausal complaints such as hot flushes and profuse sweating.

PERI + MENO RELIEF — Mental & Cognitive Health
One of the most common symptoms reported in menopause is a deficit in attention, processing speed and memory which often results in a lack of focus and forgetfulness. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been shown to improve mental performance and support mental exhaustion, resulting in increased concentration along with improved attention and mental speed. Similarly, Zinc has been studied for its contribution to normal cognitive function and memory formation.

BONE + HEART HEALTH — Osteoporosis
Low intakes of calcium have been associated with a condition of low bone density called osteoporosis which is quite common in western cultures and which often results in bone fracture. Calcium intake throughout life is a major factor affecting the incidence of osteoporosis.

BONE + HEART HEALTH — Bone Health
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralisation of bone and to prevent hypocalcemic tetany. It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodelling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Osteoporosis is most often associated with inadequate calcium intakes, but insufficient vitamin D contributes to osteoporosis by reducing calcium absorption.
(National Institute of Health, National Institute of Health Monographs. US Department of Health and Human services. 2018)
BONE + HEART HEALTH — Bone Mineralisation
Recent research reveals Vitamin K is a cofactor in bone metabolism. Vitamin K functions in the post-translational modification of a number of vitamin K-dependent proteins such as osteocalcin, a bone protein containing gamma-carboxyglutamic acid, discovered in 1975. These proteins are involved with calcium uptake and bone mineralisation. Furthermore, recent findings suggest it may be an important cofactor in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis and calcified arterial plaque. Compared to the other vitamin K analogues, vitamin K2 has the most potent gamma-carboxylation activity.
