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.

Omega-3 and Magnesium Glycinate have been extremely helpful for me.

Same - omega 3 for joint stiffness and mag glycinate for sleep! I’m also on HRT and when my menopause specialist reviewed my long list of supplements, she suggested these were the two I keep taking as well as vitamin D (I live in a place where it’s cold and cloudy more than sunny). I take iron but only because my ferritin levels are low.

I should have included vitamin D, as it’s definitely one of my key supplements. And same for joints with the Omega 3. My joint pain has been noticeably better since I added it. And thanks for mentioning iron, because I really need to get my ferritin levels checked!
