First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether taking magnesium supplements for 12 weeks can help with common perimenopause symptoms like hot flushes, sleep problems, mood swings, and brain fog. Researchers will give 58 women either magnesium or a placebo pill daily and measure changes in memory, sleep, and quality of life. The goal is to see if this simple supplement offers real relief during the menopause transition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

magnesium hydroxide (a dietary supplement)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-hormonal option to help with perimenopause symptoms like sleep trouble and memory issues.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 women, so results may not apply to everyone. Magnesium supplements are generally safe but can cause stomach upset in some people.
