A method of reducing a symptom of menopause in a subject or for reducing urinary frequency during sleep-wake cycle in a subject, the method comprising administering to a subject a delivery capsule comprising a first population of lipid-based beads and a second population of lipid-based beads;
- wherein the first population of lipid-based beads encapsulates one or more sleep promoting active agents and one or more menopause support active agents or one or more urinary support active agents;
- and the second population of beads encapsulates one or more sleep quality active agents;
- wherein after administration of the delivery capsule the first population of lipid-based beads has an immediate burst release of the sleep promoting active agents and one or more menopause support active agents or one or more urinary support active agents, and the second population of lipid-based beads has a sustained release of the sleep quality active agents;

- administering to the subject a delivery capsule comprising a first population of lipid-based beads and a second population of lipid-based beads;
- wherein the first population of lipid-based beads encapsulates one or more sleep promoting active agents and one or more menopause support active agents or one or more urinary support active agents;
- and the second population of beads encapsulates one or more sleep quality active agents;
- wherein after administration of the delivery capsule the first population of lipid-based beads has an immediate burst release of the sleep promoting active agents and one or more menopause support active agents or one or more urinary support active agents, and the second population of lipid-based beads has a sustained release of the sleep quality active agents;
- and
- wherein each active agent is independently a phytochemical, a herbal extract, a vitamin, a hormone, an amino acid, a mineral, enzymes, neurotransmitters, or combinations thereof.
