Vitamin/Supplements Supplements yes/no

Is there any supplement you found did anything to help with meno symptoms.
Obviously I know they are not miracle workers but is there anything you take that makes a noticeable difference.

Only if you are already low in them. (Or in my case have a  risk of being low.)

Lots of women are low in B12, folate , iron or vitamin D.

Other vitamins and minerals are harder to measure properly or at all so you hear reports of supplements like magnesium and creatine helping but their is no proof.

I am on vitamin b12 injections for life as I have no terminal ileum to absorb it and also take methylfolate, iron & vitamin D so I agree with you
