Many women seek alternative treatment options

One-third of women ages 40 to 55 said in a survey that they use natural dietary supplements to relieve symptoms of menopause, according to a story in Nutritional Outlook magazine.

Also in the survey, many of the women said they would prefer if their health care professionals would discuss natural remedies to address certain symptoms.

A study from the Council for Responsible Nutrition found 79 percent of physicians and 82 percent of nurses said they recommend dietary supplements to their patients. Among physicians, 91 percent of obstetrician/gynecologists said they were likely to recommend supplements.
