Mel B has revealed how going through the menopause 'took a toll' on her health.
Daily Mail can exclusively reveal the Spice Girl, 50, is the new brand ambassador for Revive Collagen's Menopause range, and Mel has spoken about her own struggles going through it.
Menopause is the natural end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. Symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats and irritability.
Mel - who just posted a sassy comeback to the Spice Girls reunion tour axing - said: 'I've been through my own menopause journey. Hot sweats, night sweats.
'Then you're cold, then you forget what you've gone downstairs for, then you go back upstairs and it's ongoing. God it takes its toll. I think there's something like 48 symptoms. I've more or less had nearly all of them at some point.
'This is why it's important to educate ourselves because us as women we need to take control over this. Do ourselves justice and make it easier and more simple for us, right?'

Former TOWIE star Samantha Faiers is the businesswoman behind one of the UK's fastest-growing wellness brands, Revive Collagen.
She co-founded the brand in August 2020 alongside her long-time business manager John Bailey, and still owns the majority stake in the company.
Revive Collagen, which sells ready-to-drink liquid collagen supplements, has exploded in popularity, becoming Europe's fastest-growing collagen brand.
Sam has also brought serious star power to the table, enlisting Amanda and A-list hair stylist Chris Appleton, the man behind Kim Kardashian and JLo's iconic looks, as faces of the brand.

It comes as the Spice Girls 30th Anniversary tour has been axed, after the group failed to agree on plans for a comeback (pictured in 1995)
And Mel had a sassy Instagram response to the news
Mel's new campaign comes as she posed in a thong bikini and declared 'kiss my a*s' on Tuesday as it was revealed the Spice Girls 30th anniversary reunion tour has been axed.
The singer took to Instagram with a defiant post saying she was 'walking away from the noise' just before the news broke that plans were dropped after the group failed to agree on plans for a comeback.
Bandmates Mel, Geri Horner, Mel C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham had been in talks for a series of concerts to celebrate three decades since the release of their debut single Wannabe.
However, it's now being reported that the group couldn't come to an agreement on a reunion - weeks after it was claimed that a Netflix project to celebrate the anniversary had also been cancelled, with sources claiming Geri in particular had been dragging her heels on whether to sign on.
While her bikini post came before the news of the axe was reported, Scary Spice was making her feelings clear in the post and already hinting at the change of plans as she walked along a tropical beach in the skimpy animal print swimwear.
She tellingly penned in the caption of her post: 'ITS MONDAY and I'm walkinn away from the NOISE… so if thats what your bringing you can KISS MY.'
However, also on Tuesday she took to her Instagram Story to post an old picture of the group as their song Never Give Up On The Good Times played - suggesting she hasn't lost all hope of a reunion one day.
It comes as Mel C herself confirmed that there was no reunion in the works, as she told The Smallzy Show on KIIS Radio: 'No, there is no reunion. We are communicating all the time. We want to do something – who knows when.
'But I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future.'
While Mel herself had hinted back in January that the band were still in talks to celebrate the Spice Girls 30th birthday, The Sun has reported that in recent weeks the plans have fallen apart.
So far only a collectible coin from the Royal Mint has been announced to mark the anniversary.
Daily Mail has contacted a representative for The Spice Girls for comment.
MENOPAUSE EXPLAINED
The menopause occurs when a woman stops having periods and can no longer fall pregnant naturally.
It is a natural part of ageing, which occurs in women between 45 and 55 years old.
However 1 in 100 women can experience menopause before the age of 40, which is known as premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency.
Symptoms often include hot flushes, night sweats, low mood, reduced sex drive, vaginal dryness, an increase in facial hair and difficulty sleeping.
According to NHS advice, symptoms can begin months or even years before your periods stop and last around four years after your last period.
Premature or early menopause can occur at any age, and in many cases, there's no clear cause.
