For full context, see our complete menopause supplement guide.
Quick Answer: Menopause PM Supplement
Meno Pause PM delivers 1,000 mg of an 11-herb nighttime blend including Valerian, Passionflower, Black Cohosh, Skullcap, and 7 more — to ease night sweats, reduce sleep onset time, and support hormone balance while you sleep. Take 2 vegan capsules 30–60 minutes before bed. Effects are typically felt within 1–2 weeks of consistent use.
What Is Meno Pause PM?
Meno Pause PM is Remedy's Nutrition's nighttime hormone-support formula, delivering 1,000 mg per serving of 11 herbs chosen specifically for their relaxation, sedative, and phytoestrogenic properties. It targets the 3 most disruptive nighttime menopause symptoms — night sweats, disrupted sleep, and nighttime anxiety — without melatonin or synthetic hormones.[1]Valerian for Sleep Quality — Advances in Therapy (2024) View source
The formula adds Valerian, Passionflower, and Skullcap beyond the base herbal blend — 3 clinically studied sleep herbs that work via GABA receptor modulation. Combined with the phytoestrogenic support of Black Cohosh and Red Clover, this creates a comprehensive PM formula that addresses both the hormonal cause and the neurological effect of poor menopausal sleep.

Key Ingredients and What They Do
The PM formula's 11-herb profile adds Valerian, Passionflower, and Skullcap to the AM base — 3 of the most researched plant-based sleep aids available. Lemon Balm specifically reduced anxiety and sleep disorder scores in a 2018 RCT of patients with chronic stable angina, a model that translates to vasomotor distress in menopause.[3]Lemon Balm for Anxiety and Sleep Disorder — Clin Nutr ESPEN (2018) View source

Meno Pause PM for Night Sweats
Night sweats affect up to 80% of menopausal women and are the leading cause of sleep disruption during the hormonal transition. They occur when the hypothalamus misfires temperature signals in response to declining estrogen, triggering sudden vasodilation, sweating, and waking.[4]Red Clover for Menopausal Symptoms — Nutrients (2021) View source
Black Cohosh and Red Clover isoflavones in the PM formula provide mild estrogen receptor activity that may partially compensate for declining estradiol, reducing the hypothalamic hypersensitivity that triggers night sweats. A 2021 trial of Red Clover extract showed clinically meaningful reductions in menopausal symptoms over 12 weeks.
Plant-based menopause therapies as a group were associated in a 2016 JAMA meta-analysis of 62 trials with modest reductions in hot flash and night sweat frequency compared with placebo.[5]Plant-Based Therapies for Menopausal Symptoms — JAMA (2016) View source

Meno Pause PM for Sleep Support
The PM formula's triple sleep-herb combination — Valerian, Passionflower, Skullcap — works across 3 separate neurological pathways to improve sleep quality without the dependence or next-day grogginess of pharmaceutical sleep aids.
-
Valerian — increases GABA availability, reducing sleep onset latency (time to fall asleep)
-
Passionflower — mild MAO inhibition raises serotonin, reducing nighttime anxiety that prevents sleep
-
Skullcap — polyphenols calm cardiovascular excitability that causes nighttime palpitations
-
Lemon Balm — inhibits GABA transaminase, prolonging the calming GABA signal
-
Ashwagandha — lowers nighttime cortisol, supporting the body's natural sleep-wake transition
Unlike melatonin supplements that only target sleep timing, this multi-herb combination addresses both the hormonal and neurological drivers of menopausal sleep disruption. Women report falling asleep faster and waking fewer times per night within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. For more on what causes sleep loss in menopause and how to fix it, see our article on menopause sleep problems.
Meno Pause PM for Nighttime Anxiety
Menopausal anxiety often peaks at night, when declining estrogen amplifies cortisol activity and disrupts GABA-mediated calm. Up to 4 in 10 perimenopausal women report new or worsening anxiety during the hormonal transition.[6]Anxiety in Menopausal Hormone Fluctuations — Menopause (2022) View source
The combination of Lemon Balm, Lavender, Skullcap, and Passionflower in this formula targets the GABA, serotonin, and NMDA pathways simultaneously — the 3 main neurotransmitter systems involved in anxiety physiology. Ashwagandha contributes by lowering nighttime cortisol, which is a primary driver of the 3 AM "wired but tired" waking pattern. For a wider view of menopausal anxiety strategies, see our guide on menopause anxiety and mood.
How Meno Pause AM and PM Work Together
Meno Pause PM is designed as part of a 24-hour protocol with Meno Pause AM. The 2 formulas share a core phytoestrogenic base (Black Cohosh, Red Clover, Dong Quai) but diverge in their accessory herbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Meno Pause PM differ from Meno Pause AM? +
Meno Pause PM adds 3 nighttime-specific herbs — Valerian, Passionflower, and Skullcap — that are not in the AM formula. These herbs work via GABA receptor pathways to reduce sleep onset time and nighttime anxiety. The AM formula uses Damiana for daytime energy instead, which would interfere with sleep if taken at night. Together they form a 24-hour protocol.
How long until I notice improvements in sleep with Meno Pause PM? +
Valerian and Passionflower typically produce noticeable sleep improvements within 1–2 weeks of consistent nightly use. Hormonal effects on night sweats from Black Cohosh and Red Clover take longer — most women see reduced night sweat frequency by weeks 4–6. Give the full formula at least 60 days of daily use before assessing its complete effect on sleep quality.
Can Meno Pause PM be taken with melatonin? +
It is generally not recommended to combine Meno Pause PM with melatonin without consulting a healthcare provider. Both act on sleep onset pathways. Valerian and Passionflower already address sleep latency via GABA mechanisms — adding melatonin creates unnecessary overlap and may cause excessive drowsiness the next morning. Try this formula alone for 4 weeks first.
Will Meno Pause PM make me groggy the next morning? +
At the recommended dose of 2 capsules, next-day grogginess is uncommon. Valerian's active valerenic acid components have a half-life of approximately 1 hour, so effects dissipate overnight. If you experience morning grogginess, take the capsules 60–90 minutes before bed rather than 30 minutes, giving more time for sedative effects to peak and partially resolve before waking.
Is Meno Pause PM safe to take every night long-term? +
Valerian has been studied for up to 28 days of continuous nightly use with a strong safety profile. Black Cohosh is generally used for 6 months or less without medical supervision. For ongoing use beyond 6 months, consult a healthcare provider. A practical pattern is 3 months on, 2–4 weeks off, repeated 2–3 cycles per year.
Can I take Meno Pause PM if I am on an antidepressant? +
Caution is required. Passionflower has mild MAO inhibitory activity, which creates a serotonin interaction risk with MAOIs — do not combine. With SSRIs or SNRIs, the risk is lower but still warrants physician consultation; case reports document additive sedation with this combination. Lemon Balm and Ashwagandha may also potentiate serotonergic effects. Disclose all supplement use before starting.
Does Meno Pause PM contain any synthetic hormones or melatonin? +
No. Meno Pause PM contains 0 synthetic hormones and 0 melatonin. It is a 100% herbal formula. The sleep-supporting effects come from GABA-modulating herbs (Valerian, Passionflower, Skullcap, Lemon Balm) and phytoestrogenic herbs (Black Cohosh, Red Clover) at a combined 1,000 mg per serving, not from exogenous hormones.
Can I take both Meno Pause AM and Meno Pause PM on the same day? +
Yes. Taking Meno Pause AM in the morning (2 capsules with breakfast) and Meno Pause PM in the evening (2 capsules 30–60 minutes before bed) is the intended full-day protocol. This provides 24-hour hormonal and neurological support for menopause symptoms. The AM and PM formulas are designed to complement each other, not duplicate effects.
Does Meno Pause PM help with hot flashes during the day? +
The PM formula's Black Cohosh and Red Clover content can secondarily reduce daytime hot flashes through their continuous phytoestrogenic activity over 24 hours. However, it is primarily formulated for nighttime symptoms. If your main complaint is daytime hot flashes that disrupt work, pair it with Meno Pause AM for full coverage, or use the AM formula alone if daytime symptoms dominate.
Is Meno Pause PM addictive or habit-forming? +
No. Unlike prescription sleep medications such as benzodiazepines and Z-drugs, the herbs in Meno Pause PM are not habit-forming and do not cause physical dependence. Valerian has been studied for periods up to 28 days with no rebound insomnia upon discontinuation. You can stop the formula at any time without a taper, though hormonal benefits may take 2–3 weeks to fade.
Can I take Meno Pause PM if I have an autoimmune thyroid condition? +
Caution is needed. Ashwagandha (1 of the 11 herbs) can raise thyroid hormone output, which is generally helpful in mild hypothyroidism but a concern in Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism. Women on levothyroxine should separate doses by at least 4 hours and request a TSH check after 8–12 weeks of consistent use. If you have Hashimoto's, monitor symptoms closely.
Does Meno Pause PM affect dreaming or REM sleep? +
Valerian and Passionflower mildly enhance deep sleep and REM stability in most studies. Some users report more vivid dreams in the first 1–2 weeks as REM normalizes, which is generally benign and resolves. If you experience disturbing or excessively vivid dreams, reduce to 1 capsule for 1 week, then reassess. Lavender additionally supports the sleep architecture transitions across the night.
Can I take Meno Pause PM if I am still cycling in perimenopause? +
Yes. Meno Pause PM is appropriate for perimenopausal women still having periods. The phytoestrogenic herbs may modestly influence cycle regularity in the first 1–2 cycles — about 1 in 5 perimenopausal users report a temporary shift in flow or timing, which typically resolves. Stop use if you experience prolonged or unusually heavy bleeding and consult your gynecologist.
