As women age, they may notice “aches, slower metabolism, reduced energy, or weaker bones.” These changes are natural, but adding key vitamins and supplements can help maintain strength and prevent disease.
**1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids**
Known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, omega-3s “help maintain cardiovascular health, support brain function, and reduce inflammation.” Since the body doesn’t produce them, supplements are essential—especially for memory, mood, and circulation.
**2. Vitamin D & Calcium**
Vitamin D is vital for calcium absorption and strong bones. “Without adequate vitamin D, calcium cannot do its job properly.” Women over 50 should aim for 600–800 IU daily. Calcium helps prevent osteoporosis and fractures, especially post-menopause. Daily intake should be around 1,200 mg.
**3. Magnesium**
Magnesium supports “muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and energy production.” Deficiency can cause fatigue, cramps, and poor sleep. It also helps with stress and heart health.
**4. Probiotics**
Hormonal changes after menopause can affect digestion. “Probiotics help restore balance to gut bacteria,” easing bloating and supporting immunity and mood.
**5. Collagen**
Collagen loss leads to “skin wrinkles, joint stiffness, and weaker bones.” Daily supplements can improve skin, joints, and even muscle mass with exercise.
