Am I the only middle aged woman NOT using supplements?

I wouldn't consider bone broth a supplment. Just good food.
I take vit d (previously deficient), multivitamins, joint supoort (issues since ever) and occasinal amino acids.
I do have pill box for them by the water so I don't forget because vit d deficiency is quite an experience....

53 here do not take anything but low dose HRT. Try to eat food that will give me all the things I need

45 and don't take anything. Never crossed my mind. I hadn't realised anyone did tbh. I feel OK generally.

I was feeling horrendous and blood tests revealed I had low iron and vitamin D so I've been on supplements since then and I feel so much better. I also take omega-3 because it seems to help with joint pain and a vitamin b complex for fatigue, which also seems to help. I think most midlife women taking supplements will be doing it in response to symptoms they are experiencing. If you feel fine, there's no need to bother.

I take Vitamin D as it was recommended by my GP. I have also taken glucosamine since my late 20s, as years of competition level kickboxing has been hard on my knees.

73 and take vitamin D. No health problems

I'm on HRT and take magnesium for restless leg syndrome (recommended by someone one here - whoever it was, thank you! It's been a game [sleep] changer!)

I take my minibox of vitamins with me everywhere!
I take a load, vitamin b, c,d. Biotin, collagen, cod liver, milk thistle, fibre, tumeric. I’ve been taking them consistently for 5 years and notice the difference.

The vitamin D recommendation is only for certain groups

The NHS says 10 mcg daily throughout the year should be considered if you:

• are not often outdoors (for example housebound or frail)
• live in a care home
• usually cover most of your skin outdoors
• have dark skin (for example African, African-Caribbean or South Asian background), as you may make less vitamin D from sunlight in the UK.

• Babies under 1 year: 8.5 to 10 mcg daily, unless formula-fed with more than 500ml/day of fortified formula.
• Children aged 1 to 4 years: 10 mcg daily all year round.

Nope. I had blood work done recently and my doctor told me my results were excellent and my diet and exercise must be the same! Yay!

Depends on your body’s needs.

a blood test will show if a person is deficient in anything

In my 50s and take Vitamin D - as that seems fairly universally recommended. I take a b12 sublingual tablet as I don't process b12 from food very well.

Other than that I try and eat a wide variety of foods, fish, vegetables, beans and lentils and not too much crap. I suspect anything else I took would be pissing money down the toilet - literally.

Oh and cod liver when I remember

Vit d, b complex, collagen, glutathione, lysine, sage, lemon balm, milk thistle and CBD

I don't know if they help but I don't have any aches or pains and can sleep for 9 hours straight if dh doesn't wake me getting up in the night

Everyone in the UK should be supplementing vitamin D in the winter regardless of age.

I also take magnesium, zinc, B12, Vitamin C, cinnamon and green tea supplements - £10 for each and they last 6-12 months depending on which brands.

Edit to add: I’m 37.

I take turmeric, Vit D, glucosamine and magnesium.

I have had my ovaries removed and can't take HRT due to a history of cancer. Therefore supplements are my only option for managing menopause symptoms. I take quite a few - vitamin B, D, magnesium, calcium, omega 3. However i'm not sure if I would necessarily need them if I was able to replace the oestrogen in my body with HRT? I think its very individual and as others have said, needs to start with consideration of what symptoms/problems you have or what do you feel deficient in.
I also use protein powder and collagen powder but do this at random really - e.g. if i'm making smoothies or pancake batter i'll chuck some in but can go days without using either.

I'm 44 and only take vitamin D because I'm often low on that when I have blood tests. Though tbh I often forget - but I notice I feel better when I remember for a few days. I'm very cynical about all the stuff advertised on social media. A few of my friends have tried various things like Nutrition Geeks and said it didn't make any difference.

My mum's nearly 80 and other than arthritis (which her mother had too) she's still strong and healthy with not that many wrinkles, so I can't see that they're essential. Of course if you're low in something it's worth supplementing that, but otherwise I'm convinced you're just making expensive wee.

ETA - the only other thing that I really notice I need is first class protein. My partner is veggie so we don't eat meat at home, and I find if I don't eat actual meat for a few weeks I start to feel very tired and low. I was veggie for a while in my teens and again in 20s, and had the same thing. So I make sure I have chicken and fish a couple of times a week. Not convinced protein powder would have the same effect.

I take vitamin D all year round, iron and a multi vit

You might want to look up what creatine does. If you are building muscle then yes.

i don’t. I get everything I need from my meat and fish. Recent blood test has confirmed this.

I'm 56 and take calcium and vit d / k all in 1 tablet. I don't tend to take them if I'm away, only at home.

Dh is also on vit D, and gets b12 supplements as was found to be low in b12. And d.

Everyone should take vitamin D in the winter because there’s not enough sunlight to make your own.

I’m only 35 but I usually take iron and high dose C. It helps with iron absorption and some evidence that it helps you get over colds quicker. I have germy small children and am prone to slight anaemia.

48 and I can barely remember to take vitamin d in the winter.
