Awake at 3 a.m. with a cabinet full of bottles? Check these five things before you buy another.
The Midlife Science Review
Independent reporting on menopause, hormones & healthy aging
For women who read the label
Awake at 3 a.m. with a cabinet full of bottles? Check these five things before you buy another.
You already know the pattern. The ceiling at 3 a.m. The short fuse by lunch. The fog that makes a simple afternoon feel like walking through wet wool. Another bottle for the cabinet does not change that math. It only spends the money you already resent spending.
I reviewed the labels, compared the amounts with the human research, and found that most menopause supplements hide their doses inside a "proprietary blend." This is a supplement that prints its three core amounts, with the studies linked below so you can check my work.

Before you buy another bottle
Five things to check on any label.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 1. All three studied menopause plants in one product | Black cohosh, soy and red clover each work a different way. Most bottles carry one. |
| 2. Each core plant printed, at an amount in line with its studies | Printing a number is easy. What matters is whether it matches the research. "Blend 500 mg" could hold 4 mg of black cohosh. |
| 3. The real plant, named and tested | Look-alike plants have turned up in bottles sold as black cohosh, and those are behind the rare liver reports. |
| 4. It covers more than hot flashes | The heat rarely comes alone. Look for an ingredient for each issue in the grid below. |
| 5. A guarantee as long as the studies | The trials ran about 12 weeks. A guarantee that ends sooner ends before she can judge it. |
Check 4, issue by issue
Turn the bottle over and look for an ingredient for each of these. Hot flashes and night sweats are covered by check 1.
| What she's dealing with | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Waking at 3 a.m. and not getting back to sleep | L-theanine, saffron, ashwagandha |
| Stress, low mood, a short fuse | Ashwagandha, rhodiola, saffron |
| Brain fog, lost words, the afternoon crash | Rhodiola (studied for mental fatigue and attention) and L-theanine (studied for focus and clear thinking, without drowsiness) |
| Bloating and digestion | Probiotics with named strains |
| Weight settling around the middle | Sphaeranthus, mangosteen, green tea |

Here is the label. Every number below comes from it.
You do not have to take my word for anything on this page. This is the Supplement Facts panel exactly as it is printed.

What the human trials found for the three core ingredients.
These are the peer-reviewed studies in menopausal women that I weighed most. Each card links straight to PubMed so you can read the abstract yourself.
Soy isoflavones
200 mg in Still You(and −21% frequency)
Meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials, 6 weeks to 12 months. Menopause, 2012.
PubMed 22433977Red clover
100 mg in Still YouA 2026 meta-analysis of 9 placebo-controlled trials also found a significant small-to-moderate reduction in hot-flash frequency.
PubMed 12161042 PubMed 42269521Black cohosh
200 mg in Still YouMeta-analysis, Menopause, 2023; plus a 304-woman placebo-controlled trial (2005).
PubMed 37192826 PubMed 15863547Because menopause is not only hot flashes
The other 1,000 mg is for sleep, stress and digestion.
The 3 a.m. waking, the short fuse, the fog, the bloating. The rest of the gummy is built for that, with ingredients that have their own human trials.
Each of these has its own human trials for sleep, stress or mood.

Customer Experiences
“I've tried so many menopause things and I always wait to see if the next one is finally it. Honestly I put these off too. Took a few weeks before I noticed anything real, but I'm not up at 3am as much and when I do wake up I'm not just lying there forever. Ordered another bottle. Wish I hadn't waited so long.”
“Got these mainly for sleep. Hot flashes were wiping me out at night too — waking up sweaty and then wide awake. That's eased up a lot. Not perfect, but I'm sleeping through more and not starting every morning already annoyed. Digestion's been a bit better as well which I wasn't expecting.”
“Still have the occasional rough night so not giving 5. But it's not every night anymore and I feel less like I'm just waiting around hoping something changes. Took longer than I wanted, which is why it's 4 stars. I'm buying again though.”

Before you start
Fit and safety.
Who it's for: Women in perimenopause who want labeled milligrams in one nightly gummy instead of a cabinet of bottles — and who will give plant ingredients weeks, not one night.
Ask a doctor first if: you are pregnant, nursing, on hormone therapy, have a hormone-sensitive condition, or take prescription medication. Contains soy — avoid if you have a soy allergy.
How to use: One gummy nightly. Best paired with a fixed cue (toothbrush).
Try it the way the studies did
90 days, or your money back.
Nearly every trial above ran for weeks or months, not three nights, which is why I would not judge a formula like this after a week. 90-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Try Still You for 90 days. If it doesn't help, email support@dailystillyou.com and we'll give you your money back. Guarantee terms.
Every batch is independently tested for ingredient identity, potency, and contaminants. Lot-specific lab reports are available on request.
Start the 120-Day Reset · $69Quick answers
Is one gummy really the full serving?
Yes. Serving size is one gummy, 60 per bottle, so one bottle is a 60-day supply.
Is it hormonal? Can it replace hormone therapy?
No. Still You is a non-hormonal dietary supplement. Hormone therapy is an important, highly effective option for many women; decisions about it belong with a clinician who knows your history.
Does it contain soy or sugar?
It contains soy (soy isoflavones extract is a core ingredient). It has 0 g total sugars and 0 g added sugars per gummy.
How long before I should judge it?
Give it consistent daily use for at least several weeks; the guarantee covers a full 90 days for exactly that reason.
Is it third-party tested?
Every batch is independently tested for ingredient identity, potency, and contaminants. Lot-specific lab reports are available on request. Email support@dailystillyou.com to request it.
