Bayer Launches CanesMeno® to Support Women Through Menopause

Bayer Consumer Health has introduced CanesMeno®, a new digital education resource and scientifically-backed product range designed to help the estimated 13 million women in the UK currently navigating perimenopause and menopause. This marks Bayer’s first entry into the menopause category in the UK, with plans for a global rollout in the future.


Addressing the Menopause Knowledge Gap


Despite menopause being a natural life stage for all women, education and awareness remain limited, often leaving women unprepared for the changes they experience. According to research:

  • 2 in 3 perimenopausal women felt unprepared or blindsided by menopause.

  • 1 in 2 admitted they did not know what was happening to them when symptoms began.


Recognising that every woman’s menopause journey is unique, Bayer has designed CanesMeno® to offer a personalised and holistic support system.


What CanesMeno® Offers


1. CanesMeno® Hub – A Free Digital Support Platform

The CanesMeno® Hub provides educational resources and personalised tracking tools to help women understand and manage their menopause symptoms. Features include:


  • Menopause Tracker – Logs symptoms over time, helping users identify patterns and trends.

  • Expert Articles & Tips – Advice from specialists on managing menopause.

  • 3-Minute Menopause Guide – A quick and accessible introduction to common symptoms and solutions.


2. Science-Backed CanesMeno® Product Range

The CanesMeno® range includes three products designed to support women through menopause:

  • CanesMeno® Hydration & Comfort Gel – A gynecologically tested vaginal dryness gel that provides up to five days of relief from symptoms such as dryness, itching, and burning. Suitable for use with hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

  • CanesMeno® Menopause Support Multi-Support – A daily supplement containing 17 essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 for hormonal regulation, iron and zinc for cognitive function, and vitamin B12 for energy release.

  • CanesMeno® Menopause Support Night – A sleep support supplement containing ashwagandha extract and vitamin B6 to help regulate hormones and improve sleep quality.


3. CPD Learning for Healthcare Professionals

To further support menopause education, Bayer has introduced a 10-minute e-learning module for pharmacists and healthcare specialists via the Bayer Learning e-platform and Boots Tutor.


Driving Meaningful Change in Women’s Health


Daria Costantini, Brand Lead for Canesten at Bayer Consumer Health UK, emphasised the importance of breaking menopause stigmas:

“Menopause is an area that deserves greater visibility and support. Too often, women suffer through menopause due to a lack of knowledge. With CanesMeno®, we aim to educate, destigmatise, and offer community support to empower women in managing their health.”

Mike Knowland, General Manager for Bayer Consumer Health, Northern Europe, added:

“Under our company mission ‘Health for All, Hunger for None,’ we recognise the need for better education and resources for women everywhere. CanesMeno® is a major step toward reducing health inequities and enabling better self-care.”

Availability & Future Expansion

  • CanesMeno® Hub and products launch in the UK on January 29, 2025.

  • Products will be available exclusively at Boots stores and Boots.com before expanding to major supermarkets in early spring 2025.

  • A global expansion is planned, with Bayer aiming to introduce CanesMeno® to international markets in the future.
