FAN CLUB™ is uniquely formulated with Siberian rhubarb root, probiotics, and grape seed extract to help reduce the severity of 11 common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause: hot flashes + night sweats, vaginal dryness, fatigue, mood swings, irritability, restlessness, sleeplessness, heart racing, low sex drive, bladder problems, and joint and muscle discomfort.

HUM Nutrition, widely recognized for innovative products rooted in clinical research, continues to address consumer needs and prioritize women’s health. “Almost all women go through menopause, yet it is rarely discussed. The hormonal shifts that occur as we age (and enter perimenopause) can cause a myriad of uncomfortable symptoms. Often, these can be as emotionally challenging as it is physical.” says Dr. Jennifer-Martin Biggers, HUM’s VP of Scientific Affairs and Education. “By developing a formula that directly supports the needs of menopausal consumers, it is our goal to positively impact the experience”.

3000 women reach menopause every day, 1.3 million women enter menopause each year in the United States, and by 2025, it is estimated that there will be 1.1 billion menopausal women worldwide.  Yet, menopause is often overlooked and remains a taboo topic –  leaving more than 60% of women feeling unprepared for what’s to come and 78% reporting interference with daily lives. With the launch of Fan Club, HUM aims to not only provide an effective, estrogen-free solution for managing symptoms, but to also normalize the conversation on menopause and help women feel informed, supported, and empowered.

“Estrogen, a hormone produced in the ovaries, plays a large role in the onset of menopausal symptoms. As women enter perimenopause, the stage before menopause, which typically begins in the ’40s, estrogen levels decline erratically.  This decline elicits common menopausal symptoms.” says Dr. Martin-Biggers. Although every woman’s experience is different, as much as 80% of menopausal women experience hot flashes and night sweats, around 40% experience vaginal dryness and sleep problems, and 10-20% experience mood swings.

Key ingredients and Clinicals
HUM Nutrition’s FAN CLUB is formulated with three carefully selected ingredients that have been clinically studied in numerous gold-standard, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials to help women minimize the before-mentioned 11 menopausal symptoms.

• Siberian rhubarb root, 4mg: A patented extract that has been shown in clinical trials to reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes by 83%, mood swings and irritability by 66% and furthermore helps with night sweats, vaginal dryness, fatigue, sleeplessness, heart racing, low sex drive, bladder problems, joint and muscle discomfort. It works by mimicking estrogen (the formula is estrogen-free however), helping the body to more smoothly adjust to the rapidly declining estrogen levels usually encountered during perimenopause and menopause.
• Lactobacillus plantarum (DR7), 5 billion CFU: A patented probiotic that has been shown in clinical trials to support the gut-brain axis, directly improving mood and promoting healthy cortisol levels.
• Grape seed extract, 300mg: High in proanthocyanidins and shown in clinical trials to help reduce perceived stress and support improvement of symptoms related to menopause.

Uniquely formulated and standardized to clinically proven amounts, taking 1 capsule of FAN CLUB™ per day can lead to initial results in as soon as 4 weeks. FAN CLUB, like all HUM Nutrition products, is clinically proven and backed by scientists. It is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO with no artificial colors or preservatives. To further HUM Nutrtion’s sustainability initiative, FAN CLUB is packaged in recyclable and ocean-bound plastic.
