The goal is to find a non-hormonal option for those who cannot or prefer not to use hormone therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: bioactive collagen peptides (BCP) and other functional ingredients
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal option to ease menopause-related vaginal discomfort and urinary leakage, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 43 people and no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive or widely applicable. Dietary supplements often show limited effects.
