Are You Taking the Right Multivitamin for Your Age and Hormones?
If you're over 50 and still taking a generic multivitamin, it's time to rethink your routine. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause require more targeted nutrient support—and the wrong multivitamin might be doing more harm than good.
Let’s talk about what your body actually needs now—and how to get it.
⚠️ The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Multivitamins
Most store-bought supplements don’t account for your changing hormones. They may:
Contain iron you no longer need, increasing risk of oxidative stress
Use synthetic forms of nutrients your body can’t absorb well
Skip key nutrients for hormone, brain, and bone health
Quick Tip: Unless you’re still menstruating or your labs show low iron, iron-free is the better choice.
✅ What a Smart Multivitamin Looks Like After 50
The right multivitamin for this stage of life supports your energy, focus, and graceful aging—with:
Methylated B vitamins (like methylfolate & B12) for mood and memory
Magnesium glycinate for sleep, relaxation, and bones
Vitamin D3 + K2 for calcium absorption and heart health
Zinc and selenium for thyroid + immune support
Low or no iron unless labs confirm deficiency
