The Goddess Elixir
Our verdict
The most sensible product in the range for perimenopause. Sage has the better evidence base of the three headline botanicals, mainly for hot flushes and night sweats. It is nutritional support, not a substitute for HRT if you need it.
Pros
- +Sage extract at a usable dose
- +Plant-based capsules
- +Ingredient quantities published
Cons
- -Not a replacement for HRT
- -Red clover is not suitable with some hormone-sensitive histories
- -Premium price per month
Evidence
Sage extract has small randomised trials showing reduced hot flush frequency. Red clover isoflavone results are mixed. Maca evidence is limited and mostly small studies.
Dose
Two capsules daily with food

- · Perimenopause alongside lifestyle change
