How are Nährstoffcheck and menopause related?

The MyBody-X Nährstoffcheck analyzes genetic variants that may influence your need for certain vitamins and minerals. During menopause, hormonal shifts alter nutrient requirements: calcium and vitamin D become more important for bone health, while iron needs decrease due to the cessation of menstruation. The test can highlight genetic predispositions, such as a higher need for vitamin B12 or folate. However, the evidence for menopause-specific recommendations is limited. Most studies are based on general populations and have not been validated for perimenopausal women. The Nährstoffcheck is a lifestyle product, not a medical device. It can provide general guidance but should not replace professional medical advice or lab tests. Women going through menopause should discuss their nutrient status with a doctor or dietitian for personalized recommendations.
