These are the supplements that have actually stayed in my routine in my 40s. I’ve tried to keep things relatively simple and focus on what I genuinely take consistently rather than every wellness trend. This is the stack I keep coming back to for ene...

Everyday Foundations
This has become an everyday habit for me. I started taking collagen more consistently in my 40s because I wanted extra support for skin, hair, nails and joints, and I needed something easy enough to actually stick with. I usually add it to my morning...
This is the B12 I actually use every day. I take four sprays rather than a tablet because it is quick, easy and much easier for me to keep consistent with. Four sprays provide 1,200µg of vitamin B12, and I originally added B12 because I wanted more i...

Holland & Barrett High Strength Cold Pressed Evening Primrose Oil 1500mg 120 Capsules
Magnesium is one of the supplements that has stayed in my evening routine. I specifically look for magnesium glycinate because I wanted a form that is easy to tolerate and fits naturally into my wind-down routine rather than just buying a generic mag...
This was one of my more deliberate “healthy ageing” additions. CoQ10 is involved in cellular energy production, and natural production tends to decline as we get older. I settled on 200mg rather than collecting multiple lower-dose products. It isn't ...
