To ask if you take any supplements and if so what difference have they made?

That’s interesting, thank you for sharing!

the magnesium gummies from tripp have genuinely helped me sleep, i used to wake up so many times per night (peri menopause) and i might stick to that for a bit longer.

However the hair and nail gummies i could probably swap them to be fair.

Peri-menopause support
Magnesium at bedtime
Vit D
Tumeric
Zinc
Multi vitamin

The magnesium has definitely helped with nighttime anxiety/3 am wake ups. But I'm now on HRT so I'm hoping sleep will massively improve as a result.

I read somewhere that any supplement in gummie form is just an expensive sweet. Something to do with the high temps needed to make them basically reducing the efficacy of the vitamin or supplement in it.

Collagen (improved my cellulite, neck skin, hair).
magnesium, vitamin b12, ashwaghanda, zinc

Magnesium gave me nightmares and I woke up with headaches daily. Came off it for a few weeks, tried again and same:(

Biotin- hair is healthy and glossy again (although not thicker unfortunately)

vitamin d- just feel better!

I will warn everyone my mum took every supplement going (during menopause) when I was in my teens and ended up in hospital as they said some didn’t agree with others and had affected her liver

Omega 3/6/9 fish oils for supple joints and good nails/hair/skin. Notice it in my hands if I miss a few.

Pumpkin seed oil - max dose for bladder irritability. If I forget I need to get up in the night for the loo. Before I was taking them I was up twice and occasionally three times a night.

Magnesium - for night cramps. Went from having them routinely after intense exercise to never having them since taking it.

Collagen - took this for three months. Couldn't see/feel any difference so have stopped.
Have also taken glucosamine/chondotroin in the past but now contraindicated by my medical conditions.

High dose of Vit D for deficiency, took it for a few months and my usually agonising period pains went down to a level where I didn't need to take 800mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day. I didn't make the connection at first and then found research on it.

I feel a lot less tired after B12 supplement as well.

Oh and melatonin gummies are fantastic for getting to sleep (they're OTC in Germany).

Magnesium gummies- my sleep has improved
hair and skin gummies - nails and hair are healthy
vitamin c to go with my iron tablets (anaemic constantly)
Collagen once a day
vitamin d in winter

I’ve found magnesium and vitamin D helpful for sleep and mood, and recently added nuvirox nad+ for better energy and focus — it’s made a noticeable difference in my daily clarity without any side effects.

Turmeric is great for inflammation 😊 just make sure it includes black pepper, as that helps your body absorb the curcumin (the active ingredient) much better <3

Vit D and Omega oil, creatine and recently tumeric (I dont really believe in that last one but I got injured few weeks ago before my first half marathon and was prepared to try anything😅). I eat well and only take what is scientifically proven to be beneficial as a general rule x I rarely get ill x

I’ve been using a seaweed-based supplement called Beauty+ and it’s honestly made such a difference for me. It’s packed with vitamins, and the seaweed helps support thyroid function too.

I feel so much better overall, and it really shows—my skin is finally glowing after years of dull, acne-prone skin. I’ve also noticed improvements in my hair and nails!

Lutein and Zeaxanthin - my Dad had age related macular degeneration and there is good science behind these

Fish Oils
Creatine
Rhodiola
Multivitamins
Vit D
Glucosamine and Chondrotin
Pysillum husk

I take:

A multivitamin with iron
Ashwaghanda (for anxiety and overthinking)
Vegan Omega 3 (keeps my eczema at bay)
Feroglobin gentle iron (the multi vitamin iron isn’t enough for me)
Evening Primrose Oil (has helped with menopause symptoms, I have stopped having night sweats!)
High Fibre tablets (to counter act the extra iron)
Berbarine (I eat a lot of carbs and this helps me to not gain weight)

I had to give up creatine because I looked bigger than I prefer to look. Something about creatine making your muscles hold more water? In any case, the definition on my abs returned when I quit creatine.

I take the following daily:
Collagen powder
omega 3-6-9
L-carnitine
B12
vitamin D
Magnesium

The only thing I noticed making a difference was the collagen powder on my joints - my knees used to ache and now they don’t.

Creatine - definitely the leanest and most muscle I’ve ever had. I’d already worked on nutrition and then added creatine and definitely got even better results. I had been nervous before taking it but just make sure you drink plenty of water with it.

Vitamin d as doc said i was critically low.
Helped my hair ,nails and tierdness

Just turned 50 and take

• Vit D/K2 and a fish oil capsule at breakfast
• In winter zinc with lunch
• Magnesium glycinate after dinner, and if the dinner didn’t involve any dairy, a gentle iron capsule

The fish oil has definitely helped my fingernails (used to be flaky and short, now they are long enough that they look like fake ones!) skin texture and joints.

No noticeable difference from the Vit D but I take it for my bones as I spend almost no time in the sun (so don’t need collagen).

Since taking iron my hair has noticeably thickened and it helps energy.

Rarely get sick in winter and a friend who I put onto zinc swears it has been life-changing for him in that regard.

Absolutely notice if I don’t take magnesium as I get restless legs.

Am considering adding a B complex in the morning and creatine once I step up my exercise routine as these seem to be well-evidenced.

Biotin after birth, for my hair as it was a breaking mess - I noticed a big difference after about 4months. Ive continued to take it & the health of my hair is amazing 👏

I take a multivitamin sometimes and really need to remember to take the vitamin D.
I have recently started adding chia and linseed to my breakfast which has had a hugely beneficial impact on my bowels and consequently my general wellbeing.
There was a radio 4 sliced bread episode about collagen supplements, the main conclusion is they are not worth it so I will happily save my money.

I do take vitamins and think they make a huge difference. Im 43 and take
vitamin b, c and d
magnesium
biotin
milk thistle
cod liver
collagen
turmeric
evening primrose

Collagen - hunter and gather
Probiotics
Oil of evening primrose with starflower

I take Iron, because my ferritin levels were only 1 point into range, and I now no longer look grey and have colour in my cheeks. I take vitamin B for the same reasons, i.e. my B12 levels were just out of range and I was perma knackered. I do reckon it has helped. I'm not losing as much hair any more either.
