Welcome to Freedom from Menopause, your resource for holistic alternatives to prescription drugs. We carry supplements that have been developed by an alternative medicine physician who believes in the power of natural product. Menopause relief does not have to come from synthetic hormone replacement therapy. If you are concerned about the side effects of HRT, consider the natural help with menopause our products can provide.

Our products are designed around naturally-based concepts and are highly effective. We specialize in providing bio-identical hormones for relief of the symptoms associated with menopause, natural remedies, and items that promote healthy living. Holistic thinking that incorporates treating the whole body is essential to our philosophy. As such, using all natural health supplements to give you nutritional support is a crucial part of the equation.

Vitamins and minerals are important and necessary for your body to function at optimal capacity. We carry vitamins for women and men that provide the exceptional nutritional foundation that is required for robust good health.
