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

Lactoferrin, ferrex (150mg iron) & vit c
vitamin b2(100mg)
vitamin b1(300mg)
This combo is chef’s kiss!

Vitamin D, Gentle iron, turmeric, pumpkin seed oil.
They all seem to make a positive difference.

Iron makes a huge difference to my energy levels.

Creatine: it's been about 7 weeks and I don't think I'm seeing a difference, but I will know better when I stop taking it.

Vit D : I'm not sure you see an immediate difference but over several months I think you willajve a happier winter than without it.

Spermidine: ( yes really!) I think I look younger

Magnesium: I get to sleep more easily

Chromium picolinate: reduces sugar and carb cravings.

Vitamin D over the winter months - really sorted out the extreme tiredness.
Cod liver oil - to see if helps my meno joint pain. Early days, but glad I've found a nice tasting liquid version as I can't take the capsules.
Glucosamine MSM & Chondroitin with Vitamin C - as above in benefit and time taken.

I take,
daily multivitamin
nutrition geeks iron+
high dose vitamin D (live in Scotland)
vitamin C
Biotin

the iron has done wonders for my hair

I took collagen for a few months and even after only a week I could see my skin improve. My face looked healthier and was glowing. It doesn’t take away wrinkles btw, but it does help fine lines. I took the highest recommended daily dosage (powdered or liquid) - which was a lot more than you get in the capsules. But after a while I found the taste and smell made me feel really sick. I was completely put off and never took it again, the thought of it still makes me feel queasy. I’d do it if it could be injected, just don’t want to smell or taste it. No idea how people stomach it in their coffee!

I take
perimenopause multi vitamin type from free soul
iron - nutrition geeks
magnesium - nutrition geeks
Echinacea when cold coming on

I really doubt your iron level would change enough in a few days to make you feel different. Coming at it from the other end, if you are iron deficient I think advice is that it will take at least a week for you to start to feel benefit from iron tablets. So I just don’t think levels change that fast.

Vitamin D definitely helps DDs seasonal moods.
Turmeric with black pepper seems to help my menopausal joints.
Vitamin C with zinc has possibly helped me fight off the various colds all my colleagues had but I avoided this winter.

I take a daily multivitamin & mineral, supermarket ones are fine. I get regular blood tests; all my nutrient levels are fine. I take extra vitamin C because I smoke.

I also take a glucosamine & chondroitin supplement since I started getting arthritis. That definitely helps - I notice when I've forgotten it for a week or so.

Most other things are nonsense, overhyped and/or overpriced.

Oil of evening primrose with starflower has helped my PMDD. I am less moody and just feel more chilled out overall. Took about 3 months for it to work and have been taking them for almost 11 years now.

Vit D because I was deficient - now improved.
Magnesium because it seems to help restless leg syndrome, which otherwise would drive me scatty.
That's it.

I tried collagen for as few months but didn't really notice any change.

I do take magnesium, ashwganda and lions mane. I do think it helps my overall sense of calm and focus.
I buy from nutrition geeks.

I take:
Vitamin D Difference - my GP doesn’t tell me to take vitamin D anymore!
Zinc Difference- improves my sense of taste.
Bontella Difference - Unsure. It may be helping with night sweats, but that may just have been colder nights over winter!

I’m on some medication that impacts my tastebuds and increases the chance of night sweats. Both the zinc and Bontella were at my health care team’s suggestion. The vitamin D is at my GP’s recommendation because blood tests show a deficiency (which my GP says is pretty ubiquitous nowadays). I’m sure it does more for me than get her off my case, but not in anyway that I can feel. The rest of my bloodwork is good so I don’t bother with a general vitamin supplement or anything.

edited to add - I have a pretty good diet though. Very varied with plenty of fruit and veg, whole grains, fish and healthy oils.

I had Ivybears hair vitamins recommended by my hairdresser as I was losing so much hair. It took about 4 weeks, but yes I've noticed a considerable difference.

I take Spatone liquid iron every day. I know when I've not had it for a few day as exhaustion kicks in.

i belive they do, but cannot be sure,

vitamin c
vitamin d
vitamin b complex
omega 3 fish oils
evening primrose oil
cod liver oils
