Women navigating the challenges in the lead-up to menopause and beyond know the journey can be both physically and emotionally transformative. For years, conversations around this topic have been dominated by discussions of hot flushes and mood swings, leaving other important aspects overlooked. Now, a groundbreaking innovation, Myregyna, from Weir Science, is set to change that – and Kiwi actress Robyn Malcolm has joined the mission to make sure women everywhere hear about it.
At the heart of this change is Dr Iona Weir PhD, a trailblazing scientist and entrepreneur whose research focuses on cellular biology and women’s health. Dr Weir’s groundbreaking product, invented and made here in Aotearoa New Zealand, uses a skin-based, non-hormonal combination of a hydrating cream and dietary supplement to support genital comfort, natural lubrication and urinary tract health – intimate issues that affect up to 84% of post-menopausal women. Dryness, irritation and discomfort in the vaginal area, are often dismissed as a natural part of ageing, leaving countless women to suffer in silence. Dr Weir, however, sees things differently.
