Ending the ‘suffer in silence’ culture of menopause

Hitting shelves in 2025, Multi Meno from Dr O’Connell is the latest menopause SKU to join the ranks of women’s health products, offering a natural alternative to HRT.

Developed by Dr Cliona O’Connell and husband Dr Raj Bathula, Multi Meno claims to be the only menopause supplement formulated by doctors. With 85% of menopausal patients affected by symptoms, but 45% unable or unwilling to take HRT, the pair felt an alternative was crucial to end the ‘suffer in silence’ culture, so O’Connell sought to create an evidence-based daily supplement which included everything a woman needs to naturally tackle the common symptoms of menopause.

Active natural ingredients

The capsules contain 27 active natural ingredients including: vitamin D for bone density; B vitamins for fatigue and brain fog; vitamin C for the immune system; selenium, zinc and iodine to support hormones, skin, hair and nail health; phytoestrogens to mimic the effects of oestrogen; and ashwagandha, vitamin E and zinc to tackle inflammation.

“Although the menopause is inevitable for every woman, each person’s experience of it can be radically different, and the approach women are sometimes forced to take can be very similar. I strongly believe that no one should have to suffer in silence. That’s why I created our Multi Meno range, to provide women with a scientifically researched and evidence-based natural alternative, which helps manage menopausal symptoms without the reliance on synthetic hormones. In launching Dr O’Connell I hope to give reassurance to women that whatever their experience of the menopause, there is a solution which can help manage symptoms and enable them to pass through the menopause feeling happy, healthy and supported,” comments O’Connell.
