Clinical research backs Kerry’s Sensoril ashwagandha supplement for postmenopausal women

Kerry Group’s Sensoril ashwagandha ingredient supports the quality of life and health of postmenopausal women, according to new clinical research. The study validates Sensoril’s ability to boost symptom management for women postmenopause, at 250 mg/day. 

Sensoril is a standardized, synergetic combination of the ashwagandha root and leaf. Kerry notes the clinical study builds on fourteen previous scientific studies proving the natural ingredient is a safe and effective solution to support overall health.

“Women are looking for a proactive approach to well-being, where their specific health needs are understood and met with the right product at the right time, and Kerry is rising to the occasion,” says Dr. Monica Maria Olivares, director of women’s and infant health at Kerry.

“This study further supports the current and extensive research naming Sensoril a safe and effective solution. Driving progress in women’s health is of vital importance to us at Kerry, which is why we have curated a suite of naturally sourced and clinically studied ingredients that support women across every life stage.”

Promoting postmenopausal quality of life

Hormonal changes associated with menopause can lead to negative symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Kerry highlights that approximately 80% of women experience these symptoms, making it a common but typically overlooked or ignored aspect of women’s health.

“Despite the frequency of these symptoms, the impact of menopause on aging has not been considered widely in research, leading to gaps in healthcare. With one billion women estimated to be experiencing menopause in 2025, these shortcomings must be addressed,” details the supplier.

Participants reported a 24% decrease in the presence and severity of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, and night sweats.Participants in the study self-reported decreases across key known menopause symptoms, including a 24% decrease in the presence and severity of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, and night sweats.

The study also highlights a 16% decrease in the presence and severity of psychosocial symptoms such as poor memory, anxious feelings, lower productivity, and dissatisfaction with personal life.

Meanwhile, the findings reveal a 14% decrease in the presence and severity of physical symptoms related to sleep, fatigue, strength, stamina, energy, appearance, aches, and pains. Additionally, there was a 13% decrease in the presence and severity of issues related to sexual health, such as intimacy avoidance.

As part of a broader focus on women’s health, Kerry launched HerWay, an online resource addressing women’s unique health and wellness experiences. HerWay houses key information on pressing health and wellness issues, as well as news regarding the latest market trends in women’s health.

Kerry underscores that the use of herbal, plant-based treatments for managing menopausal symptoms has gained popularity as many women seek more natural alternatives to hormone replacement therapy.
