THE BEST VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO TAKE AT MENOPAUSE

[@sookibeulah9331]

I’m v surprised you recommend Magnesium Oxide as it’s the least bioavailable version of Magnesium. Also surprised you don’t include K2 for bone density/ health

[@networthassoc2006]

@@sookibeulah9331 don’t you hate it when one error makes you question the validity of the entire information:(. Oxide and citrate aren’t the best in the mag world

You are a life saver. I struggled with hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety but hesitated to take HRT cuz i was scared. Now i am on HRT. I started magnesium and am sleeping so much better. Helps me so much.... Keeps me functional

[@Spicydoc1]

Thank you for your information. Just FYI vitamin D3 has to be taken with vitamin K2. Magnesium oxide is less bioavailable. Magnesium oriotate penetrates the blood brain barrier so those who have migraines would benefit. Hope this helps. Also, vitamin B6 can cause a neuronopathy so be careful on the dosage. If you have diabetic neuropathy, a preparation such as Benfotiamine can help to a small degree in preventing progressive diabetic poly neuropathy.

[@shelsmycoach5268]

Dr Hirsh. Just a couple of points from a clinical nutrition perspective. Vitamin D is fat soluble And should be taken with meals specifically some thing with fats like olive oil. Magnesium oxide is not well metabolized. Better to refer people to magnesium bisglycinate.

[@bellaroccisano4156]

I take Vit D without food and my levels are now great!

[@chiaraboccelli4189]

I was told by my Doctor a midlife coach who helped me to send my Hashimoto’s on remission. Never take calcium alone because it may cause gallbladdeor kidney calculus (stones). She recommended me to take VIT D3 with MK7 + K2 (to increase absorption)I am so greatful because my VIT D went up so fast. Careful with magnesium citrate it may cause lose stools and diarrhea. Magnesium Glycinate worked so well for me.

[@midlifewellnessnp]

Turmeric for hot flashes too! I like vitamin D with K2, magnesium glycinate at bedtime, sometimes delayed released melatonin (acts more like circadian rhythm).

[@teresalynnturner781]

I take flax seed oil with high lignans. It helps a LOT with my symptome!

What a good question. DHEA that you can take over the counter is relatively safe. It alone will NOT rise your testosterone levels into a danger zone - so you should be A-okay there! Thanks for the question and comment pink lady :)

I know you said you do not take any supplements but if I could recommend just one that I really think would help you a lot is Bioastin Astaxanthin12 mg. I've tried other brands that were cheaper but did not work nearly as good as this one.You only have to take One A Day with a meal and your body and joints will feel so much better. Just go on Costco and check out the reviews you will be very very surprised it what a great supplement this is. I've been taking it for years I am not one who takes prescription medications or many supplements I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and refused to take the medication and doing intermittent fasting and this supplement has helped dramatically. I also take 5000 IU of vitamin D3.

I'm menopausal on HRT, and also finishing my studies to be an acute care NP, so I really appreciate the information both as an individual and as a future provider! The only nutrient I have not tried yet is Mg, so I'm gong to give that a try to see if it improves my sleep. My question about supplements for you is, what about herbal supplements? I read a systematic review of some studies on Ashwaganda that showed it MIGHT improve sleep quality and overall energy level, but that it is generally well tolerated with no reports of adverse effects. Have you ever worked with this supplement? Are there any other supplements, herbal or otherwise, that you could recommend for quality of sleep and concentration/brain fog?
