About 4,000 women every day enter menopause, according to the North American Menopause Society. This means more than 1.3 million new women enter menopause yearly, experiencing the miserable symptoms of menopause for the first time: hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, thinning hair, brittle nails and more.

The previously relied upon hormone drug for menopause, Prempro, took a dive in popularity after a 2002 Women's Health Initiative study debunked the product's safety, finding it significantly increased the risk of strokes and cancer.
