Our Partners.
Over 130 of the most progressive and purposeful brands and retailers are united by the MTick to better understand, support and serve the menopausal consumer and together, grow a trusted and vibrant global menopause category.
The MenoChain
No one brand or retailer can transform the world of retail alone but collaboratively, we can.
We call this The MenoChain. Where every brand and retailer recognises its role in transforming the menopause experience, by better understanding supporting and serving its consumer.
Every category of retail
has a role to play.
Our definition of menopause-friendly is any product that can help support one or more of the 48 signs. This means 48 reasons to better support and serve the menopausal consumer.
The change’ changes everything. From clothing to bedding, skincare to nutrition and dental care to eye health, menopause spans every category of retail, and every category can do better.

A mission powered by partnership.
At Holland & Barrett we have been working with our customers for many years on better understanding and supporting their menopause symptoms. We know first hand that menopause symptoms can be confusing and due to the stigma associated with it, women often find it confusing to know what solutions work best for them. The mission behind GenM will benefit millions of women and we are proud Founding Partners of the cooperative.
Lina Chan
Director of Women’s Health
The aim of our collaboration with GenM Collective, is to help our customers, who are either experiencing or will experience symptoms of menopause, to recognise their symptoms early and provide them with the relevant products to improve their personal experience. We hope that we can expand the roll-out to further stores in the future to help raise awareness of the common signs of menopause to our customers and to provide education on the specific products which can help them.
Michael Figg
Senior Buying Manager
Tesco is committed to transforming the shopping experience for those going through the menopause and working with GenM is the next step in supporting our customers and colleagues. We hope the dedicated display in stores and the online filter will provide reassurance around what products are safe to use and help signpost to products that can ease the symptoms associated with menopause.
Tom Lye
