Perimenopause: 64% of women already experience symptoms by the age of 36 (and we almost never talk about it)

Long associated with menopause itself, perimenopause nevertheless corresponds to a phase of progressive hormonal transition, sometimes lasting several years, which can begin much earlier than we imagine. Result: many women experience profound changes without being able to identify them or receive proper support.

According to a study published in Women’s Health, 64% of women aged 36 and over report feeling symptoms linked to this phase. A key data which highlights the urgency of better information, but also of proposing adapted solutions, both effective and reassuring.

A hormonal transition that begins earlier than expected

Perimenopause begins when the production of estrogen and progesterone becomes irregular. These hormonal fluctuations can cause symptoms that are sometimes intense, well before the periods finally stop.

This phase remains difficult to diagnose, because the biological markers are unstable and the symptoms are very variable. Many women consult without obtaining a clear answer, reinforcing the feeling of loneliness in the face of these upheavals.

Multiple symptoms, often trivialized

Hot flashes, night sweats, chronic fatigue, sleep problems, irritability or anxiety are frequently attributed to stress or mental workload. However, they can be directly linked to perimenopause.

The intimate sphere is particularly affected: vaginal dryness, flora imbalances, repeated infections or reduced sexual desire. So many subjects that are still little discussed, even though they have a real impact on quality of life and self-esteem.

GINAMA: a new hormone-free approach to support perimenopause

Faced with this lack of suitable solutions, GINAMA was created by Héloïse Caillaux, doctor of pharmacy, and Flamme Servera. Their objective: to offer a range of food supplements and treatments dedicated to perimenopause,
without hormones or phytohormones, developed from clinically studied active ingredients.

The brand relies on targeted formulations, made in France, to respond to specific problems: hot flashes, balance of intimate flora, vaginal dryness or reduced libido. An approach that stands out for its transparency and scientific rigor, in a world that is still unstructured.

Solutions that meet concrete needs

The supplements developed by GINAMA include active ingredients such as saffron, borage, citrulline-arginine and even vaginal probiotics, selected for their demonstrated effectiveness on specific symptoms of perimenopause.

Studies carried out on these ingredients show in particular a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of hot flashes, an improvement in intimate comfort and a stimulation of desire. Results that meet a growing demand for non-hormonal solutions that are better tolerated and more personalized.

Take back power over your body and your well-being

Providing information about perimenopause allows women to recognize what they are going through and to no longer minimize their feelings. It also means offering them clear alternatives, based on science, to go through this transition with more serenity.

By freeing people to speak out and developing appropriate solutions, perimenopause ceases to be a blind spot in women’s health to become a subject of prevention, understanding and autonomy.
