I used to give a healthy side eye to supplements because really, who needs those if you're eating well and taking care of yourself. Well, then I hit my 40s and realized I could never eat/take care well enough to compensate for things my body needs an...
So normally I'm skeptical of products with broad health claims, but I decided to give this probiotic a try about a year ago, and well… it's now part of my daily routine. The flavors are solid and it disolves easily into water, so it's perfect way to ...
If you had to choose one collagen supplement to rule them all, this is the one from Live Conscious. It's frequently named the best all around value because the quality to price ratio is awesome. It's also completely flavorless and leaves no residual ...
Live Conscious Collagen Peptides Powder - 16oz
One of the pesky side effects of perimenopause for some women (including this woman) is low iron levels. Low iron can cause fatigue, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and hair loss (fun stuff!). I'm one of the many who struggle with most iron sup...
Sports Research Blood Balance Iron 36MG - 90 Caps
This collagen supplement disolves easily and the vanilla flavor isn't overwelming and too sweet. I use it in place of coffee creamer in my morning coffee. Definite improvement in my nail health.
Sports Research Collagen Peptides Powder
This whey protein powder is at the top of many “best protein powder” lists for good reason. It mixes easily into water or coffee (not all of them do!) and tastes great while being low in environmental metals. I use the vanilla flavor in my morning co...
Prime Protein Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powder
If you're a woman in your 40s/50s/60s, you've probably heard someone tell you to take creatine. If not, let me be the person telling you that it's probably a good idea to start taking creatine. Aside from the well studied muscular benefits, there is ...
Creatine Monohydrate Gummies 180 Count
Do you get enough leafy greens in your daily diet? I know I don't. So I take these gummies because I figure the extra bump of vitamins, probiotics, and antioxidants can't hurt. Similar to $$$$ brands, but actually taste good and much less expensive.
Plant People WonderGreens Super Greens Gummies
If you're not taking a multivitamin, it's probably time to start. Ritual was recommended to me by my primary care physician and the advice was solid. Unlike others, they are transparent about ingredients.
Ritual Women’s 18+ Daily Multivitamin - 60 Caps
Okay, so this one is awkward, but here we go. One of the unexpected side effects of perimenopause is issues with vaginal pH, dryness, and odor. These gummies help alleviate these symptoms and after about 6 months of use, I can recommend them without ...
Nuora Vaginal Probiotic
Value-wise, it doesn't get much better than Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Powder at Costco. We always have a bag as backup to the $$$ stuff from Equip. Pro tip: while it doesn't dissolve as well, it does work better in recipies than other protein po...
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Extreme Milk Chocolate, 5.64 lbs
While not a traditional supplement per se, I do swear by drinking one of these tasty seltzers before bed as a part of a wind down routine and ultimately better sleep (I can 100% vouch for the better sleep). If you're open to it, I highly recommend th...
Peach Iced Tea THC Seltzer, 5mg
If you're a 40 something woman, chances are you've seen ads for Nutrafol (or you've seen an influencer pitching it). I've used it for nearly a year and while I can't say for sure it's the one thing that's helping with my perimenopausal hair loss, it'...
Nutrafol for Women
For those days when I don't have/forgot to take the Promix Prebloat, I use this pre and probiotic supplement for women. I'm actually tempted to use it exclusively, but I do like the Promix option.
