Before Menopause, Many Women Are Already Struggling in Silence
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2026 – Perimenopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, yet many women enter this transition without fully understanding what is happening to their bodies or knowing where to seek support.
Group photo with representatives, guests and attendees at the Me. NO PAUSE Official Launching Ceremony.
While menopause is becoming more widely discussed, the years leading up to it often receive far less attention. During perimenopause, women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle, energy levels, concentration, sleep, mood and overall well-being. These changes may begin several years before menopause and can gradually affect a woman’s daily life, work and family responsibilities.
Recognising the need for earlier awareness and support, Alpro Pharmacy has launched Me. NO PAUSE, a women’s health initiative designed to help women better understand, prepare for and live well through the transition to menopause.
As part of the initiative, Alpro is offering eligible women a subsidised ferritin check for only RM1, compared with the normal price of RM35. Alpro is subsidising RM34 of the screening cost to make iron-store assessment more affordable and accessible within the community.
Women aged 35 and above, particularly those experiencing persistent tiredness, brain fog, hair loss, or brittle nails, are encouraged to undergo a ferritin check and speak with a healthcare professional about their results.
The fatigue women are expected to live with
Women in their late thirties, forties, and early fifties often carry multiple responsibilities at home, at work, and within their communities. Persistent exhaustion or difficulty concentrating may therefore be dismissed as stress, lack of sleep, ageing or simply part of having a busy life.
However, these symptoms deserve attention rather than automatic acceptance.
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. A ferritin check helps assess a person’s iron stores and may identify low iron levels before the condition progresses to iron-deficiency anaemia.
Symptoms such as tiredness and brain fog are non-specific and may have many possible causes. Nevertheless, checking ferritin levels provides women with an opportunity to explore a frequently overlooked possibility and receive appropriate professional guidance.
Malaysia’s Ministry of Health has reported that approximately one in three Malaysian womenof reproductive age, between 15 and 49 years old, experiences anaemia. Despite the scale of the issue, ferritin testing is not commonly discussed as part of routine health screening among women.
Through Me. NO PAUSE, Alpro aims to change that conversation.
“Women are often expected to keep functioning even when they feel persistently exhausted, mentally foggy or simply unlike themselves. These experiences are easily dismissed as stress, age or the result of having too many responsibilities,” said Ph. Ng Yi Ling, Professional Care & Development and Project Lead of Me. No Pause from Alpro Pharmacy.
“We want to move the conversation earlier, before women reach menopause and before exhaustion becomes something they believe they simply have to tolerate. The RM1 price is not merely a promotion; it represents Alpro’s commitment to removing cost as the first barrier to screening.”
“A ferritin check can help a woman understand whether low iron stores may be part of the picture, speak to a pharmacist and take the next appropriate step. Her tiredness deserves to be heard, her concerns deserve to be taken seriously, and her health should never come last.”
Emerging research has also drawn attention to the possible relationship between iron status and cognitive performance during the menopausal transition.
A study published in the scientific journal Nutrients in 2025 examined non-anaemic women going through the menopausal transition. The researchers observed that better iron status was associated with stronger cognitive performance, including greater accuracy, better discrimination and faster response times.
The researchers emphasised that the findings were preliminary and that larger, longer-term studies are required. Nevertheless, the research highlights the importance of better understanding iron status in women who may experience brain fog during perimenopause, even when they have not been diagnosed with anaemia.
Supporting this mission, Powerlife, a leading health supplement provider in Malaysia, has stepped forward as the main partner of Me. No Pause to improve access to ferritin screening for women nationwide, with 300 Ferritin analysers from Global Science using handheld fluorescence technology to provide results within minutes, available at all Alpro Pharmacy.
The launch of Me. NO PAUSE was also attended by representatives from the Malaysian Pharmacists Society Special Interest Group on Women and Child Health and from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), bringing together community pharmacy practice and academic research to support women’s health.
“Community pharmacists play an important role in making women’s health screening more accessible, approachable and connected to timely action,” said Ms Harpreet Kaur, representing the Malaysian Pharmacists Society Special Interest Group on Women and Child Health.
“Through this initiative, we hope to empower pharmacists to identify women who may be at risk of iron deficiency, provide timely counselling and connect them to appropriate care when further medical assessment is required.”
Representing the Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM, Associate Professor Dr Mahmathi Karuppannan said:
“Research helps us better understand the burden, level of awareness and health impact of iron deficiency among women in Malaysia. Through this collaboration, UiTM hopes to generate meaningful local insights that can guide public education, early risk detection and the development of future women’s health interventions.”
By connecting accessible screening with pharmacist counselling and appropriate referral pathways, Alpro aims to translate awareness into meaningful, responsible health action.
Women aged 35 and above who experience persistent tiredness, brain fog, hair loss or brittle nails are encouraged to visit their nearest Alpro Pharmacy to learn more about ferritin checks and speak with an Alpro pharmacist.
Through Me. NO PAUSE, Alpro hopes to help more women feel heard, informed and supported before, during and beyond the transition to menopause.

SHANGHAI, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Shanghai Museum’s “On Top of the World Tree: Ancient Civilizations of the Americas” is now officially open to the public. As the largest exhibition ever dedicated to the ancient civilizations of the Americas, it brings together 1,129 groups of objects, nearly 3,000 pieces, from leading museums and cultural institutions in Mexico, Peru, and China. Jointly organized by the Shanghai Museum, Secretariat of Culture of the Government of Mexico’s, INAH, and Ministry of Culture of Peru, the exhibition is structured around the World Tree, the central cosmological concept shared across many ancient American civilizations. Spanning nearly three millennia of history, it presents a comprehensive survey of the civilizations of the ancient Americas. Exceptional works from museum collections across seven provinces in China also join these remarkable treasures from the Americas.
During the exhibition, the Shanghai Museum on People’s Square is transformed beneath the symbolic canopy of the World Tree into an immersive environment inspired by the ancient Americas. Drawing on visual motifs including maize, jaguars, feathered serpents, and pyramids, the museum becomes a cultural landscape that evokes the civilizations on display. Occupying over 7,000m2 of gallery space, the exhibition moves beyond a conventional chronological presentation by placing objects within their historical and cultural contexts to reveal the connections between different civilizations. High-fidelity reconstructions are combined with multimedia installations to create immersive experiences, including multimedia projections, immersive environments, and participatory installations inspired by ritual practice, sacred architecture, mythology, and a ceremonial ballgame. Together, these installations present both the engineering achievements and spiritual worlds of ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, translating the concept of a “vertical cosmos” into an immersive spatial experience where archaeology and mythology converge.
Extending beyond the galleries, the exhibition unfolds across 10,000m2 of immersive experiences, offering visitors far more than a visual spectacle. This journey through ancient civilizations engages all the senses. From the maize field outside People’s Square to the towering World Tree rising through the Museum’s central atrium, visitors are gradually immersed in the world of the ancient Americas as they move from outdoors to indoors. Sight, smell, and taste all become part of the experience. The Shanghai Museum also introduces an integrated cultural experience combining special exhibitions, cultural products, dining, social activities, and live performances, allowing every visitor to discover the way of experiencing the exhibition that appeals to them most.
The Shanghai Museum has partnered with institutions including Shanghai Zoo, Shanghai Expo Culture Park, and Chenshan National Botanical Garden to launch an integrated, multi-dimensional curatorial approach encompassing the interplay of “antiquities, historical figures, animals, plants and foods” in a citywide collaborative program inspired by the concept of the World Tree. Through these cross-institutional partnerships, the exhibition extends beyond the Museum to create a multidimensional cultural experience across Shanghai. The Shanghai Museum has also established a comprehensive “land–sea–air” model, featuring cross-sector ticket packages to enhance accessibility and audience engagement. Beyond the Museum, themed immersive consumption spaces have been created, fostering deeper integration between the exhibition and urban life. To accompany the exhibition, the Shanghai Museum will introduce over 3,000 exhibition-inspired cultural products, alongside Museum Nights, multifunctional leisure spaces, immersive VR experiences, dedicated dining and relaxation areas, and a wide range of educational programs and interpretive resources. During the exhibition period, themed metro trains, buses, sightseeing coaches, and Huangpu River cruises will further extend the exhibition’s presence throughout the city, bringing the atmosphere of the ancient civilizations of the Americas to Shanghai.

SINGAPORE, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has made its latest high-power module, the Vertex N G3, available for order in Singapore. Powered by advanced n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology (TOPCon 3.0), the module delivers an industry-leading power output of up to 760W and efficiency of up to 24.5%.
Trina Solar showcases its Vertex N G3 solar modules for utility, commercial and industrial applications.
Singapore exceeded 2GWp of installed solar capacity in 2025 and has raised its 2030 target to 3GWp. With rooftops accounting for more than 80% of installed capacity, commercial and industrial (C&I) sites will remain important to the country’s next phase of solar deployment.
The Vertex N G3 is designed to improve system-level performance across C&I and utility-scale projects. Its optimised voltage-to-current ratio enables lower operating voltage and higher string power with fewer modules. Combined with power output of up to 760 W and efficiency of up to 24.5%, this reduces the number of modules required per installation and can lower balance-of-system (BOS) costs and levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) by 2–3% compared with standard module configurations.
The module also features bifaciality of up to 85±5%, enabling an additional 10–20% in rear-side energy generation, depending on site conditions and system design. This further improves overall system yield in utility-scale projects and elevated C&I installations with sufficient rear-side exposure.
Designed for hot and humid operating environments, the Vertex N G3 maintains stable performance at high temperatures with a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C. Its enhanced resistance to humidity and salinity supports long-term durability in Singapore’s tropical and coastal conditions, while a low annual linear degradation of 0.35% supports consistent output over the project lifetime. The module is expected to receive the Certificate of Conformity required by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in October.
Trinasolar also offers a lighter and narrower Vertex N G3 variant with power output of up to 670W for rooftop applications where module dimensions and structural loading are important considerations.
The Vertex G3 portfolio is gaining commercial traction across Southeast Asia. Last month, a 600MW memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed with Ecohope Solar, covering Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. A 200MW MoU with Shwe Wah Yaung Agriculture Production Company Limited (SWY) was also signed for distribution in Myanmar.
The Vertex N G3 series is available for order in Singapore through Trinasolar’s local sales channels.
