Menopausal symptoms have a substantial effect on quality of life as well as potentially serving as markers for future health. Previous research has suggested that diet can impact menopausal symptoms. Seaweed is marketed as a treatment to alleviate menopause symptoms, but no research has tested whether it is effective in reducing the symptoms and psychological effects associated with menopause. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of consuming a seaweed supplement over a 4-week time period on menopausal symptoms and psychological well-being.
