About this study

  • To evaluate effectiveness of combined use of dietary supplements Amberen and Smart B (vs placebo) by women with a typical (without complications) form of climacteric syndrome, with mild to moderate vegetative symptoms during perimenopause and menopause in regards to vasomotor, endocrine-metabolic, and neuro-psychological dysfunctions;

  • To develop recommendations for combined use of dietary supplements Amberen and Smart B for women with a typical (without complications) form of climacteric syndrome, with mild to moderate vegetative symptoms during perimenopause and menopause (menopausal for at least 1 year).
