Delay in first delivery and before this arrived, alerted to remind me second delivery due and a charge. Had to chase this up. Staff were helpful.

After a bad start of my order not being delivered, the company managed a delivery by post. So I recommend them.

About The Better Menopause
Written by the company
Founded by women, for women, The Better Menopause provides targeted nutritional supplements for perimenopause and menopause, designed to support the foundations of health that matter most during this transition. We believe women deserve clear, science-led support — not confusion, trends or quick fixes.
Our approach is rooted in the growing understanding of the gut–hormone connection. The gut microbiome plays a central role in regulating oestrogen, metabolism, mood, immunity and inflammation. As hormones fluctuate in midlife, nurturing gut health becomes a key foundation for overall wellbeing. When you support the gut, you support the systems that help you feel balanced and resilient.
We specialise in expert-led formulations, using clinically studied ingredients at effective levels. Our flagship targeted probiotic, Better Gut, was developed specifically for menopause. It supports microbial diversity, digestive comfort and the estrobolome — the gut bacteria involved in oestrogen metabolism. By strengthening these core systems, Better Gut helps women manage many of the common symtoms experienced during perimenopause.
We combine scientific expertise with lived experience, translating complex research into simple daily support. No hype, no exaggerated promises — just thoughtful solutions for this life stage.
Alongside our products, we champion education and honest conversation so women feel informed and empowered. Because a better menopause starts with better foundations.

the product and after care are great but it is too early to tell if it has had any effect yet. Hoping so.

Thank you so much for this! Early days are totally normal and the benefits really do build over time, so stick with it. We hope you start to notice the difference soon!
So much spam and too much packaging
So much spam and too much packaging. Constant attempts to upsell, generate reviews, intrusive WhatsApp messages without permission.
A decent product if a bit overpriced. I'm put off by the aggressive marketing.
Even when I took the time to contact customer services to opt out of marketing I was contacted again to complete a survey. This is just impersonal, AI driven modern selling and I don't like it.
Shipping notifications are also excessive on top of this marketing contact. One after another after another. Really don't need it.
I also think it's such a waste of resources that a small box of supplements not much bigger than a packet of painkillers is sent in a cardboard box with shredded paper surrounding it. Just put it in an envelope. Please. Not even a padded one. And turn off the alerts. Do you realise the age demographic you are selling to, guys? Peri-menopausal symptoms, overwhelm, brain fog, hello?
If you had just calmed it all down a bit and focussed more on a discreet, helpful, non-intrusive product that helps women rather than constant pressure to drive sales, you might have achieved 5 stars instead of 3, as your supplement is not bad.

Hi Catherine,
Thank you for your lovely review, Better Gut has made such a difference to so many women (especially when it comes to bloating). So glad you found the same.
Less bloating!
Less bloating!! I’d keep taking this great product just for that! But also wonderful bowel movements!! You have to take these to experience it!! After serious concerns in this department I was extremely enjoying my first month taking this product when tragedy struck and it went out of stock and it was awful! I realised just how much I had been benefiting from them. When I ran out of this I experienced more bloating, more stomach pain and less bowel movements. My husband usually tells me to cancel subscriptions but this is the only thing ever he told me to make sure and have in subscription. I am not being paid to write this, I’m sharing a genuine review hoping it will maybe even help one person. Perimenopause and menopause, everything to do with it sucks, but this is one thing that definitely makes a difficult time in life better.

Hi Rachel,
This has made our day, thank you so much for writing it.
Running out really did show you exactly what Better Gut had been doing. The bloating coming back, the difference in your digestion, your body knew. We are so sorry about the stock issue. So many of our customers noticed such a difference when taking Better Gut and spread the word that we saw a huge surge in demand, and we were caught short. We are working hard to make sure it does not happen again.
What you said about bowel movements is something so many women going through perimenopause and menopause think but do not say out loud, so thank you for putting it in writing. We hope it helps someone else make the decision to try it.
So glad to have you with us.

Hi Trena,
Thank you so much for giving Better Gut a try and for leaving your review. We completely understand the “wait and see” approach, especially when you are not sure yet if something is making a difference.
One month is still very early in the journey with any probiotic. The benefits are cumulative and build over time, which is why we always encourage at least 12 weeks of consistent use before drawing any conclusions. So please do not give up just yet!
Low energy and lack of motivation are so common during perimenopause and menopause, and we really hope Better Gut starts to make a difference for you as the weeks go on. Please do reach out to us at hello@thebettermenopause.com if you have any questions at all.
The delivery was quick
The delivery was quick. I liked the amount of information about the product,what to expect etc. Plus I was surprised to have a follow up, I had two of those in one week. That was in my opinion very professional.

We want you to feel confident in what you are taking and why, so knowing that the product information landed well is great to hear.
This probiotic works!
I was looking for a probiotic to reduce bloating and was recommended to try Better Gut.
I’ve been taking it for 2 months now and I noticed that my symptoms are improved.
For the first few weeks I was experiencing a bit more bloating after taking the pill but this soon disappeared.
I was struggling with bloating for so long and I’m glad I decided to give Better Gut a try!
Thank you!

This has made our day, thank you so much! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that two months in, your bloating has improved so much.
What you experienced in those first few weeks is really common as your gut microbiome begins to adapt to the new bacteria, and it is so great to hear it settled just as it should. So glad you stuck with it!
Thank you for the recommendation that brought you to us, and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope Better Gut continues to make a difference for you.
It works!
I am 56, menopausal, gaining weight and had a belly like I was 6 months pregnant.
I tried so many supplements and wasted so much money so was skeptical about this but it really works!
I saw an improvement after a few days - the bloating has just gone, and I’ve lost weight.
I can’t recommend this highly enough. I know it’s expensive but it really works so in my opinion it is definitely worth the money.
Thank you

Samantha, thank you for this. The "six months pregnant" belly is something so many of our customers describe to us, and it's one of the most frustrating parts of menopause because nothing you used to do seems to touch it.
So we completely get why you were sceptical, especially after trying so many things that didn't work. We're really glad Better Gut has been different for you, and that the bloating has gone and you're seeing a change on the scales too.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us. It's exactly why we do what we do.
Don't waste your money
Honestly I have tried so many supplements for my menopause problems ....Read these great reviews all these well know celebs taking them saying they are great...4 nights in the wind I am experiencing is horrendous .....pain..cramping ...flatulence...it says take on an empty stomach at night ....£40 and you cannot get your money back ....really had high hopes ..but I need my sleep .

Hi Hilda,
We are so sorry to hear you are feeling this way and we completely understand how frustrating this must be, particularly when sleep is so precious.
Four days is really very early days with any new probiotic, and what you are experiencing is something that can happen as your gut microbiome begins to adapt to the introduction of new bacteria. This initial adjustment period can cause temporary wind and discomfort before things settle, and it is not a sign that the product is not for you.
That said, we would never want you to feel uncomfortable and we would really love to talk this through with you. Please do reach out to us at hello@thebettermenopause.com and we will do our very best to help.
Better Gut - I bought a subscription.The first month…
I bought a subscription.The first month was brilliant I really notice a difference. My bloating was reduced and I felt good. My subscription arrived a week after taking my last tablet! Not ideal but after three complaints a replacement was sent out quicker than the repeat. 7 days without -bloating returned. Started new pack- 10 days in bloating is worse, stomach pain and discomfort. I tried to stick with it but I’ve had to stop. Sadly I feel better already. I’m confused by the initial success and the failure of pack 2. I trusted Liz Earl promoting this but didn’t work for me!

Hi Emma,
Thank you for such a detailed review and we are so pleased to hear that pack 1 made such a brilliant difference to your bloating. That is exactly the experience we want every customer to have, and the fact that you felt so good is a real testament to what Better Gut can do.
We also think your review actually holds the answer to your confusion. You noticed your bloating return within those 7 days without it, which shows just how much it was doing for you. We are sorry for the delay with your subscription and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We think the gap between packs may well be the key to why pack 2 has felt so different. Your gut microbiome had begun to adapt and thrive, and even a short break can disrupt that balance and essentially restart the adjustment process.
We would really love to help get you back to feeling as good as you did in that first month. Please do reach out to us at hello@thebettermenopause.com and we will do our very best to help.
I have had constant bloating
I have had constant bloating, indigestion and nausea feeling since starting these.
It says to take at bedtime on an empty stomach, I don’t feel like my stomach is empty at night but it is in the morning so I don’t understand why it can’t be taken then??? I have my evening dinner and then take it when going to bed, I feel nausea???? My last probiotic tablets from H&B I took first thing in the morning and they were amazing, no bloating and my weight was balanced. Plus they were cheaper. I regret starting these and bought 3 months supply, now I’m stuck with them and I am feeling awful. I am hoping due to the sickness it is causing me they will refund them, I will gladly send them back. I had such high expectations, with Liz Earle recommending them, so very very disappointed.

Hi Yvonne,
Thank you for your review and we are so sorry to hear you have been feeling this way. Before you make any decisions about your remaining packs, we really do want to help.
The nausea you are experiencing is almost certainly linked to timing rather than the product itself. Taking Better Gut shortly after eating, even if it is bedtime, means your stomach is not empty, and this can cause exactly the discomfort you describe. For it to feel comfortable and work well, your stomach really does need to be settled, ideally at least a couple of hours after your last meal.
The good news is you have already identified the solution yourself. Taking it first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything (other than water) is just as effective and is often much more comfortable for anyone who finds the evening timing tricky.
Please do reach out to us at hello@thebettermenopause.com before you decide to return them. We would love to help you get the most from the packs you have bought.
Tummy pain and digestive issues
I've only just started to take it but I'm finding I have horrible digestive issues at bedtime and tummy upset and cramping during the day. I didn't have any of these issues with Symprove so I am going to go back to this. I bought a 3 month supply which is now such a waste.

We’re sorry to hear you’ve experienced tummy discomfort and cramping.
As you’ve only recently started taking Better Gut, it can be quite normal to notice some digestive changes initially while the gut adapts to introducing a new probiotic. Everyone’s microbiome is different, so experiences can vary from person to person.
Please do get in touch with our customer care team — we’d be very happy to talk through your experience and offer some guidance.
We hope things settle for you soon.

Finally feeling better!
I haven’t felt this good in so long. I didn’t realize it was my hormones that had been making me so bloated, and every other probiotic I tried, exacerbated the problem. I didn’t know women going through perimenopause needed a specific type of probiotic and this one has significantly made me feel better. I will never go without! Thank you for making this product!

Good products - I would recommend
I started using Better Gut a couple of years ago. I had long suffered from relatively mild, symptoms of IBS, and after the menopause kicked in, my digestive system had a mind of its own. It took a couple of months for my body to adjust after I started taking it but now I no longer have IBS issues, and feel everything is on an even keel with my digestive system. Last year I added Better Metabolism to my regime, and that has made a big difference too. My body definitely processes food more quickly and I feel far less sluggish.
Subscribing is very cost effective and easy to add to or adjust. I keep both products on a regular order now.

One of the few products that's actually worked!
I don't usually leave reviews, but this is one product where I've genuinely noticed a difference. I've been taking Better Gut for around 3 months now, and my tummy feels much calmer. The constant bloated feeling I'd just got used to has eased so much. I've also noticed my brain fog isn't as bad, and I feel a bit more switched on during the day.
It definitely wasn't an overnight change, but after taking it consistently the improvements have gradually built up and I really feel more like myself again. Thank you The Better Menopause, I'm so pleased I gave it a go! It's made me really keen to try some of the other products in the range now too.
