Abstract
Menopausal disorders with varying degrees of severity occur in women due to the development of the estrogen-deficient condition in the peri- and postmenopausal period. Despite a wide range of medications for menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), a certain number of women with contraindications to MHT and/or hormone-phobia need the use of non-hormonal drugs that relieve the symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Balanced diet and replenishing vitamin and mineral deficiencies plays a key role in correcting menopausal disorders. Vitamins increase the adaptive capacity and participate in the synthesis and metabolism of hormones. The use of vitamin and mineral complexes that do not have side effects and contraindications to MHT is a valid and effective method of the long-term non-hormonal therapy for the treatment of menopausal disorders.
