Updated 15 October 2026. We make the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement, which competes with the products below, so we have an interest, and ours is marked as ours wherever it appears. Every product page, price and claim here was checked on each brand's own website on 15 October 2026. This compares what is in each product and what each is allowed to say; it is not a test of whether any of them works, and it is general information, not medical advice. If symptoms are affecting your life, see a GP.
Search for hormone balance supplements and you get hormone balance tablets, capsules, gummies and powders from about 17p to £3.50 a day, many of them vitamin B6 with a list of herbs. Under UK rules, only one sentence on any of their labels can talk about hormones in general, and it belongs to the vitamin, not the herbs. Here is what is in 10 of them, what each costs a day, and what each is allowed to claim.
Hormone balance supplements: the quick answer
Quick answer: most of the hormone balance supplements we checked are vitamin B6 plus herbs, at about 17p to £3.50 a day. Vitamin B6 is the only ingredient in them allowed to make a general claim about hormones, worded “Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity”. None of the herbs, from ashwagandha to red clover, has any authorised claim, and no supplement is allowed to say it balances your hormones.
Our pick is the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (we make it), for reasons you can check: every dose is published, including 2.07mg of vitamin B6, about a fifth of the most the NHS says to take from supplements in a day; and Happy Mammoth's UK product page names the same 11 ingredients for Hormone Harmony but gives no amounts in its text, at £2.29 a day for a single jar against our 97p. The first month is free on subscription, then it renews automatically at £29 a month until you cancel. It is not suitable for everyone, so read the checks in its section below.
The best alternatives depend on what you want from one:
- The lowest cost: Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules, about 24p a day, or 17p at Myprotein's price, with every nutrient amount on the label.
- A multivitamin made for women on HRT: Health & Her, about 57p a day.
- Shatavari and saffron, with free consultations: Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex, £1.23 a day.
- Red clover, sage and holy basil: MyOva Hormone Balance, about £1.20 a day.
- Tens of thousands of reviews: Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony, 4.8 out of 5 from 55,474 reviews in its own widget, £2.29 a day.

Hormone balance supplements UK: what is in 10 of them, compared
Which? reported in September 2026 that none of the 26 menopause supplements it tested was worth a Best Buy, so rather than rank the best female hormone balance supplements UK shoppers can buy, here is what is in each one, checked on its brand's own website on 15 October 2026. Ours is first because it is our pick; the rest are in order of cost a day, which is the one-off price divided by the days a pack lasts at the stated dose.
| Supplement | Daily dose and pack | What a daily dose contains | Vitamin B6 a day | Price and cost a day | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (ours, our pick) | 3 capsules; 90 (30 days) | KSM-66 ashwagandha 600mg, fennel 500mg, maca 350mg, chamomile 220mg, rhodiola 80mg, chaste tree 75mg, wild yam 60mg, broccoli sprout 50mg, gymnema 50mg, rosemary 25mg | 2.07mg (148% of the NRV) | £29; 97p. First month free on subscription, then it renews automatically at £29 a month until you cancel | Every dose published, under £1 a day |
| Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules | 2 capsules; 60 (30 days) | Magnesium 250mg, inositol 250mg, CoQ10 30mg, zinc 10mg, vitamin C 80mg, folic acid 400µg, vitamin D 10µg, chromium 40µg | 1.4mg (100%) | £7.19 (was £11.99); 24p, or 17p at Myprotein's £4.99 | The lowest cost, with a full nutrient label |
| Health & Her Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT | 2 tablets; 60 (30 days) | 18 vitamins and minerals, including B12 125µg, folic acid 200µg, zinc 9mg, iodine 150µg and selenium 90µg; no copper | 3.5mg (250%) | £16.99; 57p (45p on subscription) | A multivitamin made for women on HRT |
| MyOva Hormone Balance | 2 capsules; count not published (reviews say 60) | Holy basil 375mg, shatavari 300mg, KSM-66 ashwagandha 250mg, turmeric 150mg, red clover 100mg, sage 100mg, fennel 100mg, chamomile 40mg, rosemary (amount not published) | 10mg | £36; about £1.20 | Red clover, sage and holy basil with B6 |
| MyOva Menoplus | 4 capsules; count not published (reviews say 120) | Myo-inositol 2,000mg, maca 250mg, shatavari 250mg, hops 200mg, sage 125mg, red clover 80mg, D-chiro inositol 50mg, folate 400µg, B12 250µg | 10mg | £36; about £1.20 | Myo-inositol with red clover and hops |
| Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex | 2 capsules; 60 (30 days) | Shatavari 500mg, NAC 150mg, saffron extract 30mg, magnesium 57mg, iron 5mg, pantothenic acid 2mg, molybdenum 25µg | 5mg (357%) | £37; £1.23 (99p on subscription) | Shatavari and saffron, with free consultations |
| Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance | 10.2g powder; 30 servings | Magnesium 200mg, myo-inositol 2,000mg, vitamin C 500mg, vitamin E 67mg, vitamin B1 25mg, vitamin B2 20mg | 25mg (1,786%) | £44.99; £1.50 (£1.20 on subscription) | A magnesium and inositol powder |
| Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony | 3 capsules; 72 (24 days) | The same 11 ingredients as ours, by name (its landing page says 14); no amounts in the product page text | Not published | £54.99; £2.29 (£1.32 to £2.08 on multi-jar and subscription prices) | Tens of thousands of reviews, and a 60-day money-back guarantee on the first jar |
| Metagenics Oestrogen Balance | 5g powder; 14 servings | About 20 vitamins and minerals, plus kudzu isoflavones 35mg, flaxseed extract 350mg, broccoli extract 60mg, turmeric 100mg, NAC 100mg | 6mg (429%) | £49; £3.50 (£2.80 on subscription) | Kudzu, flaxseed and broccoli extract in one powder |

MyOva does not publish capsule counts, so its cost a day assumes the 60 and 120 capsules that customer reviews mention. WUKA publishes neither the gummy count nor whether its amounts are per gummy, so its cost a day cannot be worked out. Metagenics' cost a day assumes one serving a day. Holland & Barrett's pages, including the Health Hub article that ranks for this search, returned no text for us to check, so its products are not included.
What are hormone balance supplements? Four kinds of product share the label
Hormone balance supplements, also sold as hormonal balance supplements, share a label, not a formula. Behind the label sit four kinds of product:
- Nutrient formulas with no herbs: vitamins and minerals, with inositol and CoQ10 in Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules, or 18 vitamins and minerals in Health & Her's multivitamin for women taking HRT.
- Herbs anchored by vitamin B6: where ours, Happy Mammoth, MyOva, WUKA and Wild Nutrition sit. Under the rules, only the B6 can carry a general hormone claim.
- An oestrogen metabolism powder: Metagenics Oestrogen Balance, built on kudzu isoflavones, flaxseed and broccoli extract with a multivitamin base.
- Passengers: products filed under hormone balance that make no hormone claim at all, such as the ashwagandha capsule listed first in Biogena's hormone balance category and the weight management capsule at the top of Future You's hormone balance collection when sorted by best-selling.
Six of the 10 we checked, ours included, fall into the second group, and in all six, vitamin B6 is the only ingredient that can carry a general hormone claim.
The pattern holds across the market. A UCL and Queen Mary review of 201 UK menopause supplements, published in September 2026, found vitamin B6 was the most common vitamin and red clover and sage the most common plants, and that half contained no vitamin D. Prices ran from £1.50 to £95 a month.
What hormone balance supplements are allowed to claim
In Great Britain, a food supplement can only use health claims on the GB nutrition and health claims register, and five nutrients on it have claims that touch hormones. The only two authorised claims that mention the menopause are about bone.
| Nutrient | Authorised wording in Great Britain | Minimum a day to use the claim |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B6 | “Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity” | 0.21mg (15% of the 1.4mg NRV) |
| Pantothenic acid | “Pantothenic acid contributes to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters” | 0.9mg |
| Zinc | “Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood” and “Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction” | 1.5mg |
| Iodine | “Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function” | 22.5µg |
| Selenium | “Selenium contributes to the normal thyroid function” | 8.25µg |
| Calcium, alone or with vitamin D | “Calcium helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women.” With vitamin D: “Calcium and vitamin D help to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women.” | 400mg; with vitamin D, 400mg of calcium and 15µg of vitamin D in a supplement |
Each claim comes with conditions. The product has to contain at least 15% of the nutrient's reference value in a day, and the advertising regulator's guidance on health claims says a reworded claim must keep “the same meaning for consumers” and be made for the nutrient “rather than for the product as a whole”. The wording above is from the retained regulation that lists the authorised claims. So the only general hormone claim any of these products can make is the vitamin B6 one.
Herbs have no authorised claims. No botanical in these formulas, from ashwagandha and chaste tree to maca, wild yam, red clover and shatavari, has an authorised health claim in Great Britain. Some brands rely on EU “on hold” botanical claims, which DHSC guidance says “may continue to be used” until a decision follows a call for evidence; solicitors Mills & Reeve describe them as “in regulatory limbo”. Describing an ingredient can be a claim too: in a March 2026 ruling the ASA found “adaptogenic herbs” was an unauthorised health claim.
Symptom claims are off the table for every food supplement. CAP's menopause guidance, updated on 7 August 2026, treats menopausal symptoms as falling within the definition of disease, and food law bans claiming that a food prevents, treats or cures a disease. On 25 March 2026 the ASA ruled against five supplement advertisers whose ads its AI-assisted monitoring had found, including a promise to “naturally balance out your hormones” and products positioned as an alternative to HRT, and in June 2026 it ruled against Inno Supps' claim to “rebalance hormones naturally”. Its September 2026 report on health claims criticised ads that turned common experiences “into signs of hormone imbalance that food supplements or other nonmedicinal products could help fix”.
What each one claims, word for word
The hormone claim on each product page on 15 October 2026, quoted as published, with whether it is tied to a nutrient.
| Supplement | Its hormone claim, as worded | Tied to a nutrient? |
|---|---|---|
| Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (ours) | Vitamin B6 “contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity”, one of five authorised B6 claims; no claims for the botanicals | Yes, vitamin B6 |
| Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules | “Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.” Headline: “A unique formulation of nutrients including vitamin B6, designed to regulate normal hormonal activity” | Yes, vitamin B6; the headline credits the formulation |
| Health & Her Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT | Vitamin B6 “contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.” | Yes, vitamin B6 |
| MyOva Hormone Balance | “Contributes to normal hormonal activity with Vitamin B6 (P5P)” | Yes, vitamin B6, reworded |
| MyOva Menoplus | “Vitamin B6 contributes to normal hormonal regulation.” | Yes, vitamin B6, reworded |
| Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex | “Contains Vitamin B6 which contributes to normal hormonal activity” | Yes, vitamin B6, reworded |
| Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance | “Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.” and “Vitamin B5 is necessary for the production and metabolism of steroid hormones such as oestrogen.” | Yes, vitamins B6 and B5 |
| Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony | “Contributes to the normal regulation of hormonal activity”, as a general bullet; wild yam “Supports natural hormonal balance and reproductive health.” | No |
| Metagenics Oestrogen Balance | Broccoli and kudzu help “to maintain healthy oestrogen levels” | No authorised wording attached |
| WUKA Hormone Support Gummies | Vitamin B6 “contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity”; chaste tree “is known to be beneficial for managing PMS” | Yes for B6; the chaste tree line is not tied to a nutrient |
Three patterns stand out. Most brands hang their hormone claim on vitamin B6, as the rules require. Some reword it, as “normal hormonal activity” (Wild Nutrition and MyOva Hormone Balance) or “normal hormonal regulation” (MyOva Menoplus), and we found no ruling on whether either keeps the authorised meaning. And some go further than the authorised wording: Myvitamins' headline credits the formulation rather than the vitamin; Metagenics words its pantothenic acid line around oestrogen, where the authorised claim covers steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters; and Happy Mammoth makes its hormone claim for the product as a whole and, on its UK landing page, says it “Eliminates Menopausal Symptoms Up To 87%”, above a US-style note that the statements “have not been evaluated by the FDA”.
Vitamin B6 in hormone balance vitamins: check the dose
The NHS says: “Do not take more than 10mg of vitamin B6 a day in supplements unless advised to by a doctor”. It warns that taking 200mg or more a day can lead to a loss of feeling in the arms and legs. Here is the B6 in each daily dose, lowest first:
- Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules: 1.4mg
- Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (ours): 2.07mg
- Health & Her Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT: 3.5mg
- Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex: 5mg
- Metagenics Oestrogen Balance: 6mg
- MyOva Hormone Balance and MyOva Menoplus: 10mg each
- WUKA Hormone Support Gummies: 20mg, or 40mg if the page's figures are per gummy
- Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance: 25mg
- Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony: not published in the page text
Regulators elsewhere are tightening. According to trade press reports, the European Food Safety Authority cut its adult upper limit for B6 to 12mg a day in 2023, Health Canada has required warnings on products with 10mg or more since March 2026, and the Dutch pharmacovigilance centre Lareb logged 238 reports of nerve damage between 2007 and 2024, 79 of them at 12mg a day or less. UK advice remains no more than 10mg a day from supplements. If you take more than one supplement, add up the B6 across all of them, multivitamins included.
Warnings: who mentions HRT, thyroid medicines and hormone-sensitive conditions
What each product page tells you to check, as published on 15 October 2026. “Not on the page” means we did not find it on the brand's product page; it may be on the pack.
| Supplement | HRT | Thyroid medicines | Hormone-sensitive conditions | Pregnancy and breastfeeding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (ours) | GP or pharmacist first | GP first | Not suitable | Not suitable |
| Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page |
| Health & Her Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT | Made for HRT users | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not advised |
| MyOva Hormone Balance | GP first if on “hormonal treatments” | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not recommended unless advised |
| MyOva Menoplus | Speak to your GP | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not suitable |
| Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex | “In many cases yes,” then a consultation | Not on the page | FAQ: check suitability first if you have endometriosis | Consult your doctor |
| Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page | Consult a practitioner; “Suitable for Pregnancy” icon |
| Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page | Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding |
| Metagenics Oestrogen Balance | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page | Do not use |
| WUKA Hormone Support Gummies | Not on the page | Not on the page | Not on the page | Consult your GP |
Only three of the other nine pages mention HRT, none carries a thyroid caution, and apart from Wild Nutrition's FAQ on endometriosis none carries a hormone-sensitive caution, even where red clover (MyOva) or kudzu isoflavones and flaxseed (Metagenics Oestrogen Balance), all plant sources of oestrogen-like compounds, are in the formula. The registered agnus castus medicine from Boots does the opposite: its leaflet says not to take it if you are under 18, have a pituitary disorder, or are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding, and to tell your doctor first if you have or have had an oestrogen-sensitive cancer or take dopamine medicines, oestrogens or antioestrogens. Several of these supplements contain chaste tree, the same herb. Our guide to supplements with HRT goes through each ingredient.
The 10 hormone balance supplements, one by one
The Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (ours, our pick)
Best for: a vitamin B6 and botanical formula with every dose on the label, at under £1 a day.
Three vegan capsules a day, made in the UK to GMP standards. The tub says Hormone Health, and the hormone claim behind that name is the vitamin B6 one: vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. We make it, so read this section with that in mind.
- What is in it: KSM-66 ashwagandha 600mg, fennel (10:1) 500mg, maca (10:1) 350mg, chamomile (10:1) 220mg, rhodiola (10:1) 80mg, chaste tree (10:1) 75mg, wild yam (8:1) 60mg, broccoli sprout (20:1) 50mg, gymnema 50mg, rosemary (8:1) 25mg and vitamin B6 2.07mg, 148% of the NRV. No soya isoflavones and no red clover, but that does not make it suitable for hormone-sensitive conditions: chaste tree, maca and wild yam carry cautions too.
- Cost: £29 for 90 capsules, 30 days, about 97p a day. On subscription the first month is free, with free UK delivery; then it renews automatically at £29 a month until you cancel, with no minimum term.
- What it can claim: vitamin B6 claims only, including that vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. None of the botanicals has an authorised claim, so we make none for them.
- Check first: do not take it if you are under 18, pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding; if you use hormonal contraception, because it contains chaste tree; if you have, have had or are at increased risk of a hormone-sensitive condition such as breast, ovarian or uterine cancer, endometriosis or fibroids, because chaste tree, maca and wild yam all carry cautions; if you have a pituitary disorder; or if you are allergic to plants in the celery family, such as fennel, or the daisy family, such as chamomile, or to mugwort. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting if you use HRT or any prescribed medicine, especially thyroid, diabetes, blood pressure, blood-thinning, antidepressant, sedative, dopamine or immunosuppressant medicines, or if you have a thyroid, liver or autoimmune condition.
- How long: the US National Institutes of Health says ashwagandha appears to be well tolerated for up to about three months of use, but its long-term safety is not known. If you want to take it for longer than three months, check with your GP or pharmacist first.
- Under review: the Food Standards Agency says there are no established safe levels for ashwagandha in UK food supplements and asked its Committee on Toxicity to assess it; the committee discussed a third draft statement on 8 September 2026.
Why it is our pick: every reason is on a product page or price list you can check. It publishes every dose. Its 2.07mg of vitamin B6 is enough to carry the authorised claim and about a fifth of the NHS's 10mg daily limit for supplements, where two products here sit at that limit and two go above it. And at 97p a day it costs less than half the £2.29 a day of a single jar of Hormone Harmony, whose UK product page names the same 11 ingredients but no amounts.
Where the others are better: Myvitamins is a quarter of the price. Myvitamins and Health & Her include vitamin D, which ours does not; ours is not a multivitamin. More people can take the nutrient-only products, because ours is not for anyone on hormonal contraception or with a hormone-sensitive condition. Its lead ingredient is under a UK safety review. And Happy Mammoth offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on its first jar.
See every ingredient and dose in the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement
Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules
Best for: the lowest cost, with every nutrient amount on the label.
Two capsules a day of Myvitamins Hormone Balance give magnesium 250mg, inositol 250mg, CoQ10 30mg, zinc 10mg, vitamin C 80mg, folic acid 400µg, vitamin D 10µg, chromium 40µg and vitamin B6 1.4mg, 100% of the NRV, with no herbs. It was £7.19 for 60 on 15 October 2026, down from £11.99, about 24p a day, and Myprotein listed the same product number at £4.99, about 17p a day. Its claim is the authorised B6 one, although its headline credits the formulation rather than the vitamin. The page carries no pregnancy, breastfeeding or medication guidance. It showed 4.76 out of 5 from 135 reviews.
Health & Her Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT
Best for: a multivitamin designed for women taking HRT.
Two tablets a day of the Health & Her multivitamin give 18 vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 3.5mg, with no herbs. Health & Her leaves out copper “Because HRT can increase levels of Copper”, and says the evidence behind the formula “is based on scientific research of oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT)”, although it is designed for all forms. It has 2.5µg of vitamin D, a quarter of the 10 micrograms the NHS advises in autumn and winter. It is £16.99 for 30 days, about 57p a day, or 45p on subscription. No NHS, NICE or British Menopause Society guidance we found says HRT changes your nutrient needs; our guide to supplements with HRT covers that.
MyOva Hormone Balance
Best for: holy basil, shatavari, red clover and sage, with vitamin B6.
Two capsules of MyOva Hormone Balance give holy basil 375mg (4:1), shatavari 300mg (5:1), KSM-66 ashwagandha 250mg, turmeric 150mg, red clover 100mg (10:1), sage 100mg (10:1), fennel 100mg (6:1), chamomile 40mg (10:1), rosemary, with no amount published, and vitamin B6 10mg as P5P. It shares five ingredients with ours, at lower published botanical doses and nearly five times the B6. It is £36; MyOva does not publish the capsule count, but reviews mention 60, which would make it about £1.20 a day. Its claim attaches to B6. It asks you to speak to your GP if you take prescribed medication or “hormonal treatments”, but carries no hormone-sensitive caution, although it contains red clover.
MyOva Menoplus
Best for: myo-inositol with red clover and hops.
Four capsules of MyOva Menoplus are built on myo-inositol 2,000mg, with maca, shatavari, hops, sage, red clover (80mg, with 6.4mg of isoflavones) and vitamin B6 10mg. It is £36, and reviews mention 120 capsules, about £1.20 a day. Its claim is “Vitamin B6 contributes to normal hormonal regulation.” It is one of three pages here that mention HRT: “If you're taking medication or HRT, speak to your GP before use”.
Wild Nutrition Perimenopause Complex
Best for: shatavari and saffron with vitamin B6, from a brand that offers free consultations.
Two capsules of Perimenopause Complex give shatavari powder 500mg, saffron extract 30mg and NAC 150mg with vitamin B6 5mg, magnesium, iron, pantothenic acid and molybdenum. It is £37 for 30 days, £1.23 a day, or £29.60 on subscription, 99p a day, which includes two free 30-minute consultations a year with its nutritional therapists. Its claim is “Contains Vitamin B6 which contributes to normal hormonal activity”. Asked whether it can be taken with HRT, its FAQ answers “In many cases yes,” and offers a free consultation.
Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance
Best for: a magnesium and inositol powder.
One 10.2g serving of MegaMag Fem Balance gives magnesium 200mg and myo-inositol 2,000mg with vitamins C, E, B1 and B2, and vitamin B6 25mg, 1,786% of the NRV. That is two and a half times the 10mg a day the NHS says not to exceed from supplements unless a doctor advises. It is £44.99 for 30 servings, £1.50 a day, or £1.20 on subscription. The page shows “Suitable for Pregnancy” icons alongside advice to consult a practitioner if you are pregnant.
Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony
Best for: a brand with tens of thousands of reviews and a 60-day money-back guarantee on the first jar.
Happy Mammoth's UK product page names 11 ingredients for Hormone Harmony (its landing page says 14): vitamin B6, KSM-66 ashwagandha, maca, broccoli sprout, chaste tree, wild yam, fennel, gymnema, rosemary, chamomile and rhodiola. They are the same 11 as ours. The page text gives no amount for any of them while promising “Clinically-proven amounts”, so the doses cannot be compared. A jar holds 72 capsules, which at three a day is a 24-day supply, although its FAQ says “about a month”. It is £54.99 a jar, £2.29 a day; its UK pages showed subscription discounts of 15%, 20% and 36% on 15 October 2026, and multi-jar and subscription prices on its landing page bring it to between £1.32 and £2.08 a day. It shows 4.8 out of 5 from 55,474 reviews in a widget labelled “Happy Mammoth EU”, it is vegan, and it is made in the Netherlands; its landing page also mentions a 180-day money-back guarantee. Its warnings cover pregnancy, breastfeeding, children and chaste tree with oral contraceptives, but not HRT, thyroid medicines or hormone-sensitive conditions.
Metagenics Oestrogen Balance
Best for: kudzu isoflavones, flaxseed and broccoli extract in one powder.
A 5g serving of Oestrogen Balance adds kudzu isoflavones 35mg, flaxseed extract 350mg and broccoli extract 60mg to about 20 vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 6mg. At £49 for 14 servings it is the dearest here per day, £3.50, or £2.80 on subscription. It attaches no authorised wording to its oestrogen statement. It carries a contraception caution and an age range of 18 to about 55, but no caution for hormone-sensitive conditions.
WUKA Hormone Support Gummies
Best for: a gummy rather than a capsule.
WUKA's page lists magnesium 30mg, vitamin B6 20mg, vitamin E 30mg, chaste tree extract 40mg and ginger extract 50mg for its Hormone Support Gummies, taken two a day, without saying whether those amounts are per gummy or per serving. If they are per gummy, the B6 is 40mg a day. WUKA does not publish the gummy count either, so the cost a day of its £24.99 pack cannot be worked out. It uses the authorised B6 claim, and it is for adults aged 18 and over.
Hormone balance supplements or a registered herbal medicine?
A registered traditional herbal medicine can say what a food supplement cannot. The MHRA grants a Traditional Herbal Registration only for minor conditions, with at least 30 years of traditional use, and a registered product carries a nine-digit THR number and a certification mark. Boots Agnus Castus PMS Relief Tablets (THR 23056/0002) can name premenstrual symptoms, “based on traditional use only”. A food supplement containing the same herb cannot borrow that indication, and the MHRA's guidance says words such as “relieves” signal a medicinal claim.
Registration is about quality and traditional use, not proof that a product works. It does come with a full leaflet of who should not take it and which medicines it interacts with, and the British Menopause Society advises choosing herbal products with the THR stamp in its July 2026 consensus statement.
What we will not tell you
We will not tell you that the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement balances your hormones, eases symptoms or replaces HRT, and we will not tell you that any of the other nine does. No food supplement is allowed to make those claims, and the evidence that any of them can is thin. What we can tell you is what is in each tub, what each costs, and the one general hormone claim the law allows: vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
Where a supplement is not the answer
Before you shop for the best supplements for hormone balance, it is worth knowing what specialists say. If symptoms are affecting your life, see a GP. NICE tells doctors to diagnose perimenopause and menopause without laboratory tests in otherwise healthy women over 45, so you do not need a hormone test first, and a GP can talk you through HRT and the other treatments on the NHS. The British Menopause Society says “no treatment is as effective as estrogen”, and its nutrition advice for clinicians recommends one supplement for menopausal women, 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day, adding that “Additional supplements should only be taken where there is a clinical need”.
If all you want are the basics, Which? tested 26 supplements aimed at women in perimenopause, menopause or over 45, found none worth a Best Buy, and compared them with a 6p a day supermarket multivitamin. And Oxford researchers who reviewed 15 products in detail found only one had “actually been subjected to appropriate testing”.
Hormone balance supplements: your questions
What are hormone balance supplements?
Hormone balance supplements, also sold as hormonal balance supplements or supplements for hormone balance, are food supplements sold under that label, usually vitamin B6 with herbs such as ashwagandha, chaste tree, maca, shatavari or red clover. Despite the name, the only general hormone claim any of them can make is that vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. They are not medicines, and none is an alternative to HRT.
Do hormone balancing supplements work?
There is little good evidence that they do. The NHS says there is very little evidence on how well herbal remedies for menopause symptoms work, or how safe they are, Which? found none of 26 menopause supplements worth a Best Buy, and no food supplement is allowed to claim that it balances hormones or relieves symptoms. If symptoms are affecting your life, see a GP.
Are there vitamins to balance hormones for females?
No vitamin is allowed to claim that it balances hormones. Five nutrients have authorised claims that touch hormones: vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, pantothenic acid to normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters, zinc to normal testosterone levels and fertility, and iodine and selenium to normal thyroid function. The NHS says not to take more than 10mg of vitamin B6 a day from supplements unless a doctor advises.
What are the best female hormone balance supplements in the UK?
It depends what you want in one. Our pick is the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (we make it): every dose is published, it has 2.07mg of vitamin B6, and its first month is free on subscription, then it renews automatically at £29 a month until you cancel. For the lowest cost, Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules are about 24p a day; for a multivitamin made for women on HRT, Health & Her is about 57p.
How much vitamin B6 is in hormone balance supplements?
From 1.4mg a day in Myvitamins Hormone Balance Capsules to 25mg in Metagenics MegaMag Fem Balance, or 40mg in WUKA's gummies if its figures are per gummy. MyOva's two products have 10mg each. The NHS says not to take more than 10mg a day from supplements unless a doctor advises. The Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (we make it) has 2.07mg, 148% of the NRV.
Is Happy Mammoth Hormone Harmony the same as the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement?
By ingredient name, they match: Happy Mammoth's UK product page lists the same 11 ingredients as the Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (we make it). The difference is what you can check. Ours publishes every dose and Happy Mammoth's page text gives none, and on 15 October 2026 ours cost 97p a day against £2.29 for a single jar of Hormone Harmony. Happy Mammoth shows 55,474 reviews and offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on the first jar.
What is in Myvitamins Hormone Balance?
Two capsules a day give magnesium 250mg, inositol 250mg, CoQ10 30mg, zinc 10mg, vitamin C 80mg, folic acid 400µg, vitamin D 10µg, chromium 40µg and vitamin B6 1.4mg, with no herbs. It was £7.19 for 60 capsules on 15 October 2026, about 24p a day, and Myprotein listed the same product at £4.99.
Can you take hormone balance supplements with HRT?
Check with your GP or pharmacist first. The NHS says it is not possible to say that other herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with HRT, because they are generally not tested with other medicines, and chaste tree, an ingredient in several of these products, carries an EU caution for anyone using oestrogens. The Flissie Perimenopause Supplement (we make it) contains chaste tree. Our guide to supplements with HRT goes through each ingredient.
Can a supplement replace HRT?
No. No food supplement is an alternative to HRT, and the ASA has ruled against supplement ads that suggested otherwise. The British Menopause Society says “no treatment is as effective as estrogen”. If you are thinking about starting or stopping HRT, talk to your GP.
Are natural hormone balance supplements safer?
Not necessarily. Women's Health Concern, the patient arm of the British Menopause Society, says herbal remedies that are not regulated by a medicine authority should not be considered safe, and that some have significant interactions with medicines. Chaste tree, red clover, maca and wild yam all come with cautions for hormone-sensitive conditions, pregnancy or particular medicines, so check the warnings and ask a pharmacist if you take anything else.
Do I need a hormone test before taking a hormone balance supplement?
Not usually. NICE tells doctors to diagnose perimenopause and menopause without laboratory tests in otherwise healthy women over 45, and a 2025 BMJ editorial said menopause is a clinical diagnosis and hormone testing is unnecessary. If you are worried about how you feel, see a GP rather than buying a test kit.
What is the difference between a hormone balance supplement and a herbal medicine?
A registered traditional herbal medicine has a THR number from the MHRA, which lets it name a minor condition based on traditional use, as Boots Agnus Castus PMS Relief Tablets do for premenstrual symptoms. A food supplement with the same herb cannot. Registration is about quality and traditional use rather than proof that it works, and the British Menopause Society advises choosing herbal products with the THR stamp.
