Vitamins
Vitamins can play a supportive role during menopause, helping to ease symptoms, protect long-term health, and support energy levels.
While they don’t replace medical treatments like HRT, the right nutrients can make a real difference.
Benefits of taking vitamin supplements
Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention
• Vitamin D: helps the body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones.
• Vitamin K: supports bone density and reduces fracture risk when combined with calcium and D.
Essential, since falling estrogen increases risk of osteoporosis.
Energy & Fatigue Support

• Vitamin C: supports adrenal health, reducing tiredness caused by stress.
Mood & Cognitive Health
• B6: helps regulate neurotransmitters linked to mood (serotonin, dopamine).
• B12 & Folate: support memory, focus, and lower risk of cognitive decline.
• Vitamin D: deficiency is linked to low mood and depression.
Heart Health
• Vitamin B-complex: helps regulate homocysteine levels, reducing heart disease risk.
• Vitamin E: antioxidant protection for cardiovascular health.
Skin, Hair & Vaginal Health
• Vitamin E: supports skin elasticity and moisture.
• Vitamin C: boosts collagen, aiding skin firmness and wound healing.
• Biotin (B7): strengthens hair and nails.
Immune System Support
• Vitamin C & D: boost immune defences.

A balanced diet is the best source, but supplements may help if diet or absorption is limited. Always check with a healthcare provider before starting high-dose vitamins, especially if on HRT or other medications.
