The menopause symptom nobody warns you about – and what you can do about it

While I’ve not gone through The Big Change yet myself, I’ve seen enough friends, relatives and colleagues go through it to know that it’s uncomfortable at the best of times.

And at the worst? Menopause comes with some pretty un-fabulous side effects – including a growing distrust in your own bladder. Fortunately, though, there are supplements out there to support exactly that.

Enter, Jude. The bladder health brand built on science, transparency and real-world experience, Jude creates supplements that are easy to understand and even easier to take.

Practical and evidence-led, this is health support that leaves the complex medical information to one side, creating supplements that are easier than ever to bake into your everyday routines.

If you're unsure which Jude supplement might best suit your needs, it's worth taking the brand's quick online quiz. It helps identify your individual bladder health concerns and goals, while taking into account your life stage and current needs.

This is particularly relevant during perimenopause and menopause, when falling oestrogen levels can affect bladder function and pelvic floor health. By answering a few simple questions, you can receive a personalised supplement recommendation to help you explore which of Jude's targeted formulations may be suitable for your daily routine.
