“A recent study by University College London, led by Prof Joyce Harper, warned of a "menopause gold rush", with unregulated companies exploiting a lack of reliable information.”
What Joyce Harper has said
“Educating pupils about periods may now be compulsory in schools in England and Wales, but we know that for many of them that still only amounts to two lessons in their entire school career. Our survey suggests that those lessons are still very much concerned with the basic biological facts around menstruation.”

“We have a menopause gold rush because companies, investors and people see menopause as a lucrative market. While public awareness of menopause has greatly improved recently, there has been a rapid expansion in private companies and individuals providing menopause education, especially on social media, which has led to misinformation which can make existing menopause-related health inequities worse.”
