Insomnia during menopause is a fairly common and unpleasant symptom. It usually occurs due to insufficient amounts of estrogens in the female body. That is why doctors often use hormone replacement therapy or herbal remedies containing phytoestrogens when treating insomnia in this case.

Today, the most popular and effective remedy for treating insomnia during menopause is "Kleverol" based on red clover extract.

It is considered a completely safe alternative to hormonal drugs. Thanks to this medicine, you can quickly and without any problems eliminate the main symptoms of menopause, in particular insomnia. It contains phytoestrogens, which are called isoflavones. With their help, not only insomnia is eliminated, but also hot flashes, high temperature, headaches, dizziness.
