Mel B, the iconic Spice Girl and women's advocate, has revealed her secret to staying healthy during menopause. The 51-year-old singer, known for hits like "Wannabe" and "2 Become 1," has become a spokesperson for Sam Faiers' supplement brand, Revive Collagen Menopause Range. Speaking at a recent event, Mel explained how she manages menopausal symptoms without hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Why Mel B Chose Supplements Over HRT
Mel, who turns 51 on May 29, began experiencing menopause symptoms when she turned 50. She considered HRT but was dismayed to find that not all GPs are knowledgeable about menopause. "I think it is disgusting. I think it should be mandatory, because it’s a woman’s problem, so why aren’t we talking about it more?" she said. Instead, she opted for Revive Collagen Menopause Max, a hydrolysed marine collagen supplement. "My husband is happy because I’m not sweating at night," she joked. She takes a sachet in the morning with coffee and another at night to help her relax.
A Universal Woman's Problem
Mel, a mother of three, emphasised that menopause is a universal issue affecting billions of women. "We shouldn’t be ashamed of it, it should be something that we celebrate. We can help each other and have a community," she said. She noted that her own mother, Andrea, was reluctant to discuss menopause, but Mel wants to break the taboo for her daughter, Angel, 19. "I want to make sure that my 27-year-old knows that she can come to me and know about the menopause."

Mel B's Advocacy for Women
Mel has been a vocal advocate for women's rights and domestic violence victims, earning an MBE in 2022. She continues to use her platform to raise awareness about menopause and the importance of self-care. "As a woman in my fifties, I’m very aware of the changes that come with menopause and how important it is to look after yourself from the inside out," she said.
