Bladder changes after 50 are common.
Talking about them isn't.
There's more to bladder health than most women are told.
(A lot more.)
Does this sound familiar?
You leak a little when laughing, coughing, or sneezing
You wake up at night to use the bathroom
You feel a sudden urge and have to go right away
You feel like your body changed the rules and nobody explained why
These aren't signs that something is wrong with you.
They're signs that something has shifted in how your bladder is being supported.
There's a biological reason for it.
"Just Do More Kegels"
Sound familiar?
Here's what it misses.
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal changes affect bladder tissues — not just the muscles around them.
This decline in tissue support can start as early as 40.
It's why so many women notice urgency and leaks even when they've been doing their Kegels faithfully for years.
Bladder control involves changes in multiple systems...
Like declining estrogen, which affects tissue elasticity and bladder wall support.
Such as declining estrogen, which affects tissue elasticity and bladder wall support...
And nerve signaling that becomes more sensitive, creating urgency even when the bladder isn't full.
Strengthening muscle helps. But when tissue support and signaling aren't being nourished from within, muscle strength alone can only do so much.
What actually affects bladder control after 50
It's not just about muscle strength. Your bladder is part of a connected system.
Tissue elasticity
The bladder wall needs to stretch, hold, and rebound with each fill. After menopause, estrogen decline directly affects that elasticity. Exercise alone can't reach this.
Brain-bladder communication
The brain and bladder work together — nerve signals tell the bladder when it's actually full. When those signals become more sensitive, urgency fires before you're ready. (That's the "gotta go right now" feeling that comes out of nowhere.)
Tissue support
The brain and bladder muscles rely on specific nutrients. That's where targeted support comes in.
Why pelvic floor therapists are talking about pumpkin seed extract
Most bladder conversations stop at muscle strength. Researchers are starting to ask different questions.
Pumpkin seeds are one of the most studied natural superfoods for bladder health. They're naturally packed with zinc, magnesium, and amino acids that support bladder muscle function, tissue elasticity, and bladder wall health.
Recent studies suggest they may help support:
Bladder wall elasticity
Smooth muscle tone in the urinary tract
Normal inflammatory response in bladder tissue
You feel like your body changed the rules without warning
This doesn't replace pelvic floor therapy or lifestyle changes.
But it does explain why so many pelvic floor therapists have started recommending nutritional support from the inside out.
Because that's where the missing piece lives.
This is why we created Mae's Everyday
A daily bladder support supplement designed for women over 50
After menopause, your bladder needs more than exercise.
Mae's nourishes the muscles, tissues, and nerve signals that keep it steady — from within.
The part no one mentions?
Consistency is what actually builds change. Not a dramatic intervention. Just a simple daily habit your body can learn to rely on.
What's inside, and why it matters
Science-backed ingredients for a steadier bladder.
Pumpkin Seed Extract
Naturally rich in zinc, magnesium, and amino acids that support bladder wall elasticity, smooth muscle tone, and calmer nerve signaling.
Supporting Nutrients
Vitamin B6 for nerve signaling. Saw palmetto for muscle calm. Grape seed extract for tissue protection. All plant-based.
What women are noticing
Questions we hear often
Who is this for?
Mae's Everyday was designed specifically for women dealing with bladder changes after menopause — urgency, leaks, frequent nighttime waking, or just a bladder that feels less predictable than it used to.
How long does it take to notice a difference?
Bladder health is built gradually. Most women who find Mae's helpful start to notice something around weeks four to eight — a fewer nighttime waking, a longer stretch between bathroom trips. Some notice sooner. The body responds to consistent daily support, so the habit matters as much as the dose.
Can I take this with other supplements or medications?
Mae's is made from plant-based, natural ingredients. If you're managing a health condition or taking prescription medications, it's always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before starting something new.
Do I need to take this forever?
Consistency matters. Many women choose to make this part of their long-term routine because bladder tissue support is ongoing, especially as hormonal changes continue.
Is pumpkin seed extract really studied for this?
Yes — and the research on it has been growing. Pumpkin seed extract has been looked at in clinical studies specifically in women over 50 with bladder issues. The findings are what the Mae's formula is built around.
How many capsules are in a bottle?
Each bottle contains 60 capsules, designed to last one month when taken as directed. Take with a meal when possible and at the same time daily for the best results.
What ingredients are in Mae's?
Mae’s Everyday is made with a targeted blend of ingredients chosen to support urinary comfort and healthy bladder function, including: pumpkin seed extract, saw palmetto, pygeum bark, grape seed extract and complementary plant compounds. Each ingredient plays a role in supporting flow, control, tissue integrity and antioxidant protection as part of consistent daily support.
