The Best Supplements and Vitamins for Menopause from a Menopause Expert Physician

[@heatherhirschMD]

What supplements do you already take, and what are you going to add into your regimen after watching this?! Tell me in the comments.

[@michy2630]

I wanted to add that Vitamin D really should be combined with K2 for better absorption. You can buy this combined and do not need to buy 2 separate supplements. Nice video Dr Hirsch

[@michelledellasanta6992]

Which brand do you recommend? I’ve been looking for this combo

[@michy2630]

@michelledellasanta6992 I like sports research or pure encapsulations

[@nicolevigil4982]

Thank you. Do you suggest a particular brand? I know some don’t absorb through the body as well as others.

[@amg92003]

Can you recommend a womens multivitamin? Thanks.😊

[@mariashapiro2262]

This was a really informative video. Are you able to share which fibre gummies you would recommend? Thanks!!

[@teresalynnturner781]

I take organic flax seed oil, high dose B12, magnesium/potassium, vitamin D3 and k2, zinc, vitamin C. I also take a supplement combination with tumeric, cinnamon, garlic, and berberine. Hot flashes have improved, but not completely gone. Ive only been taking these things a month. I expect they will continue to improve. Definitely helpful with joint pain! I also drink a LOT of water!

[@divya1355]

Are there supplement brand recommendations?

[@jennicrow2946]

Please consider taking insurance for your telemedicine practice. MIDI health does this.

[@stephanieb6890]

Hi I m 48 years old and I take daily vitamine D, B group, collagen and omega3 at mornings and magnesium bisglycinate, ashwagandia, and zinc at evenings

[@n.a.l.6136]

I’m currently on HRT and my tests indicate a tendency toward hypothyroidism. I’ve heard iodine is often recommended as a supplement in such cases, and I’d like to know if there are any contraindications with HRT❓️

[@maggiemagsbond83]

For the ashwagandha for sleep, does the type matter (example ksm 66 etc) and when should you take it? I find it takes a while to kick in so I take it around 7pm for bed at 11 is that ideal? Or when do you recommend taking it. Sleep is my main struggle in peri!!

[@DianaMirzoyev]

Doc what kinda of fiber gummys please

[@claudiakuhn2802]

I take the majority of these supplements @ 62 years old. I take Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K as well, it is combined in one capsule.

[@Ladylovesjesus2121]

Which brand do you take?

[@AskElkaAstrology]

I take the Now brand which has both and I doubled my vitamin D levels taking one 5,000 IU capsule each morning.

[@Titus-2-Mom]

B complex helps my nerves and hair growth so much!

[@wickedwest89]

Pasiflora (tea) before bed has been a lifechanger for encouraging calmness and a good night sleep - rather than melatonin. Collagen has helped with joints and hair loss. I personally disagree with recommendations for melatonin and turmeric. Turmeric can inhibit absorption of iron for those struggling with anemia from heavy blood loss, like heavy periods. And melatonin can cause terrible nightmares. I also read it can actually disrupt circadian rhythms when taken long term.

[@jennysiepka9900]

Please get sunlight❤

[@natalienetanya7401]

Thanks Heather! ❤🎉

[@brandyhanks7385]

Had my labs done and my thyroid jump up dramatically in a year doctor thinks it bc of the biotin in my multivitamin. Can 300mcg of biotin really able to make it jump from 1.7 to 4.7?

[@stephanielogan5711]

I have not found melatonin to be helpful for sleep. CBD+ works better for me to assist with sleep. Except for a B-complex, I take most of what you recommended because my doctor recommended.

[@reginaw5085]

CBD ist best! And HRT of course

[@susiedbc]

Just checking- did you mean to say 4 liters of water per day? 17 cups? That is quite a bit more than I’ve ever heard recommended before. Thanks!

[@marjayasmr]

No only up to 8 glasses a day. Don’t drink more than this unless you’re very active and do a lot of workouts. You can intoxicate the body drinking too much water esp in a short amount of time. Don’t forget waters from tea, coffee, foods and juice also count

[@JAYWRITE-h3e]

Excellent

[@marjayasmr]

Hard to know what to believe cos I’ve read so many articles saying research says no supplement helps when it comes to peri and menopause and that women are just wasting their money. Ditch the junk food and drink more water. Everyone knows vitamin D is good in general. But it makes no extra difference in peri or meno. Magnesium also has little effects. B complex gives me the shakes. More Fibre is definitely needed. Most of my symptoms were helped with HRT gel esp for joint pain and anxiety. It also stopped my constant bleeding.

[@Fran-fd6wu]

I think magnesium is helping my palpitations.

[@suzygoffstein1217]

There are so many different brands of magnesium which are the better ones?

[@MSRez95]

Glycinate helps relax, citrate may give you diarrhea😂

[@Titus-2-Mom]

Also if you are backwards like me and magnesium glycinate keeps you up at night, malate is also good.

[@duchessdelarue5983]

My vitamin D level is 70 and this is ideal. I live in a sunny climate and only take 5,000 IU D/K once a week to keep it high. Calcium is no good to take in pill form D/K and eating greens 🥬 will keep calcium high.

[@Mercurychick]

I notice the recommended dosage for B12 is only 2.4-2.8 mcg but most of the bottles sold are at 1000-1200 mcg. I cannot find a bottle lower than 100 mcg for B12. Why is that?

[@billie381]

Yes where can u get smaller doses of B12

[@momtolittlebaby]

D gives me hotflashes!

[@mbigs1509]

4 L of water a day?!

[@Katepwe]

The water in fruits and vegetables as well as any fluids you drink like milk, juice, teas.

[@cleanqueen75]

I’m 67. My hair got really thin in the last couple years. Iron tends to constipate me. I put a collagen powder in my coffee.

[@shelleykapp9637]

I take Garden of Life, both their Iron and Healthy Blood iron. No constipation whatsoever.

[@joyoflivingacolorfullife]

Is there any research done how having an abortion what does it do to Peri and Menopause season of life? thanks.

[@LL77309]

I started using an HRT cream and about a month later, I noticed that I was losing soooo much hair. Since then, I have stopped using the cream and my hair has stopped falling out. Women should be warned about their horrible side effect.

[@Katepwe]

It could have been too high of a dosage. Perhaps the clinician wasn’t well trained.

[@marjayasmr]

I didn’t have this on the gel

[@erinbreland9347]

Make sure it’s the HRT

[@李增琪]

I had the same hair issue first 3 months on HRT. However, it has been backed to normal now. Make sure to notify your doctor to maybe lower the estradiol dosage that could be helpful. I am speak from my experience.

[@malindalee1]

Vitamin D causes me terrible hot flashes.
