Supplements For Menopause
- Multiple vitamin
- Healthy Oil
- Vitamin D
- Female Support Supplement
Multiple Vitamin.
This should be a high quality supplement that contains all the essential vitamins and minerals with a special emphasis on the B-vitamins.
It should not contain iron unless you have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. It’s also best if it contains magnesium and calcium.
Many women as they age tend to focus all of their attention on taking calcium supplements when in reality this is not as wise as making sure you are eating a diet that is rich in all the bone building nutrients including magnesium, calcium, potassium, vitamin K, etc. Which can easily accomplished through a diet containing adequate protein and a large amount of green vegetables.

Fish Oil.
When I say fish oil I’m not meaning cod liver oil I’m meaning high quality omega 3s
Every single cell within our body is surrounded by a membrane containing receptors that interact with your hormones.
The quality and function of these membranes and receptors are directly related to the quality of oils you eat.
Some benefits of fish oils…although there are plenty more…
. Aids with cardio health
. Boosts brain health, eg concentration, mood, depression, mental decline etc..
. Helps boost metabolism
. Supports healthy skin and eye health
. Reduces inflammation within the body
In order for your body to function optimally, good quality fats are essential.
By far the best fats for the cell membrane are fish oil, but krill oil may be superior since it contains phospholipids, which are an integral part of the membrane and work with the fats.
To make sure you are optimizing cell function, hormone signaling and metabolic potential then supplement with a high quality fish oil /or krill oil.

Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone not a vitamin. Many women are severely depleted in vitamin D. This compound may be the most important compound for female health related to menopausal challenges.
Vitamin D aids bone health, thyroid health, sensitises the body to insulin, protects against respiratory infections, helps prevent cognitive decline and dementia, as well as helping with depression especially seasonal depression within the darker night months…
Due to the drop of estrogen as we enter the menopause we don’t absorb vitamin D the same this is why a supplement is highly recommended,
Although before you start supplementing, it is important to know what your current levels are by getting it checked with your doctor.
Here is a guide based on current levels
- Levels less than 30ng/ml= 10,000iu daily or more (talk to your doctor)
- Levels between 30 to 50ng/ml= 2,000iu in summer and 5,000iu or more inwinter
- Levels above 50ng/ml= 2,000iu in winter only
- Levels above 100ng/ml= Do not supplement

Feminine Support Product
What I mean by a “feminine support product” is one that addresses the unique risk factors associated with menopause, as well as helping improve metabolic function and reduce symptoms.
I’ve had some very good success both with myself and clients with a product called Femguard
This product contains many herbs and vitamins designed to sensitise the body to insulin, decrease the risk of female cancers, and balance the hormonal situation in the body.
