As women approach or go through menopause, usually in their forties or early fifties, there are three essential supplements they should consider taking:
1. Magnesium
Magnesium is crucial for women experiencing menopausal symptoms:
• 
Helps promote better sleep
• 
Aids in relaxation
• 
Relieves constipation
Magnesium comes in various forms:
– Cream
– Tablets
– Spray
2. Vitamin D (with K2)
Vitamin D, especially when combined with K2 for better absorption, offers multiple benefits:
• 
Boosts overall immune system
• 
Reduces joint and bone pain
• 
Improves mood and mental health
• 
Increases energy levels (noticeable within a week)
3. Omega-3
When choosing Omega-3 supplements, it’s important to select the right type:
• 
Look for Omega-3 with high levels of EPA and DHA
• 
Avoid Omega-3-6-9, fish oil, cod liver oil, or krill oil
Benefits of Omega-3:
• 
Promotes brain health and reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s
• 
Acts as an anti-inflammatory
• Helps reduce bone pain in older adults
Additional Facts:
• Menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55
• Women may experience symptoms for several years before and after their final period
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is another option for managing menopausal symptoms, but should be discussed with a healthcare provider
• Regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help alleviate some menopausal symptoms
• Some women may experience early menopause before age 40, known as premature menopause
Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.
