Understanding the MTick: Optibac’s support for the menopause journey

In this article, we’re answering some key questions about what MTick means and how Optibac's MTick approved supplements can support you.

What is the MTick?

The MTick is the world’s first independent symbol designed to help people easily identify menopause friendly products. Whether you’re shopping for friendly bacteria supplements, skincare, clothing or more, the MTick acts as a quick visual cue, giving you confidence that a product has been reviewed and approved as supportive during the menopause journey.

For many going through menopause, the right products can make a big difference to daily wellbeing. The MTick helps cut through the noise, guiding you to options designed with your needs in mind.

Why Optibac has partnered with GenM

At Optibac, we believe in supporting women's wellbeing and vitality with honesty, care, and evidence backed products. Menopause is a major life stage that affects millions of women, yet sadly it’s often misunderstood and under supported.

By joining GenM, we’re helping to change that. We’re proud to be part of a movement that’s working to improve education, product transparency, and everyday support for those going through menopause.

Our partnership also means we’re continually looking at how our supplements can better serve the needs of our customers during this time, which is where the MTick comes in.

Who are GenM?

GenM is a growing collective of forward thinking brands working together to make menopause more visible, better understood, and better supported. Their mission is to transform the way society approaches menopause, from product development and workplace policy, to advertising and awareness.

By partnering with GenM, brands commit to driving positive change and ensuring that the many and varied symptoms of menopause are better acknowledged and supported, because menopause shouldn’t be something people have to go through alone or in silence.

Which Optibac supplements carry the MTick?

Several of our supplements have already been reviewed and approved as menopause friendly. You'll see the MTick symbol on their packaging and product pages. These include:

• For Women - a highly researched friendly bacteria supplement specifically designed for vaginal health
• Every Day EXTRA - a high strength daily friendly bacteria supplement
• Every Day - a great daily option for targeting different areas of the gut

Each of these supplements has been selected based on their suitability for women, particularly during menopause.
