Supplements for menopause and perimenopause
Magnesium, vitamin D3 K2, iron where periods are heavy, vitamin B6, omega 3 and the menopause formula: what each contributes to, and what this page does not cover.
How to choose a supplement for perimenopause and menopause
Steadier moods, better sleep, more energy and stronger bones through perimenopause and beyond. Magnesium, vitamin D3 with K2, iron where periods are heavy, vitamin B6 and omega 3 each address one of the changes this stage brings, alongside whatever your GP offers.
Why these
Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules: Calms a racing mind, supports sleep and eases tension, the three things most often disrupted in perimenopause.
Vitamin D3 & K2: Protects bone strength as oestrogen falls, with K2 to guide calcium to bone. 2500 IU.
Iron & Vitamin C: Restores energy where heavy periods have run iron low. Gentle on the stomach, with vitamin C for absorption.
Vitamin B6 P5P Capsules (Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate): Supports hormone balance and mood; vitamin B6 in its active P5P form.
Omega 3: Supports heart health, which matters more after menopause, and eases stiff joints. 330 mg EPA, 220 mg DHA.
Menopause Support: A daily formula built for this stage, with what it contains stated plainly on the product page.

Common questions
Do any supplements have an authorised claim for hot flushes?
No. Nothing on this page claims to help hot flushes, and anything that does is making a claim the evidence does not allow.
Why is iron on a menopause page?
Because heavy periods in perimenopause are the commonest cause of low iron in this age group. It only applies where ferritin is low, which a blood test shows.
Does this page cover what a GP can offer?
No. It is about nutrition only, and it sends you to your GP for the other options.
