Can IgG help with Wechseljahre?

Can IgG help with menopause? The short answer: there is no strong scientific evidence. IgG antibody tests are often marketed for 'food sensitivity' and claimed to alleviate menopause symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, or mood swings. However, menopause is primarily driven by hormonal decline (estrogen), not by food-related immune reactions. While some small studies suggest that personalized diets based on IgG may improve general well-being, systematic reviews conclude that IgG testing lacks clinical validity for diagnosing adverse food reactions. The risk of unnecessary dietary restrictions and nutritional deficiencies outweighs potential benefits. For menopause management, evidence-based options include hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and cognitive behavioral therapy. IgG testing remains a controversial, non-standard approach. Always consult a healthcare professional before making dietary changes based on such tests.
