I'm in my late 40s and perimenopause has started. I'm on HRT but feel I need something to help the aching joints and help me to sleep better.

Any suggestions of what to take, including brands? There are so many options!

TIA

Magnesium.
And go and have a look at dr Mary Claire Haver on TikTok. She has amazing advice for supplements, diet, lifestyle to stay feeling well during peri/menopause.

This one is good, but expensive

cheaper one I am currently using, I’m finding it pretty good.

Also, make sure vitamin D, B12, Folate and ferritin are all optimal levels if possible, not just lower end of normal.
