My Recommended Supplements

A comprehensive multinutrient formula specifically designed for women during and after menopause. Contains vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, vitamins D and K2, green tea and lycopene to support hormonal balance, energy, mood and bone health.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions including hormone balance, sleep, stress response and muscle function. Most women are deficient. Glycinate is the most bioavailable and gentle form – far superior to standard magnesium oxide.

Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in the UK, particularly in women over 40. D3 combined with K2 supports bone density, immune function, mood and hormone regulation. K2 ensures calcium goes to the bones rather than the arteries.

One of Biocare’s flagship products and one I recommend more than almost anything else. A high strength probiotic containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium strains that support gut microbiome balance, digestion, immunity and hormone metabolism.

As we age our production of digestive enzymes naturally declines. This can lead to bloating, discomfort and poor nutrient absorption after meals. This formula supports the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates and fats for more comfortable and efficient digestion.

A comprehensive gut support formula combining glutamine, N-acetyl glucosamine, turmeric and other key nutrients to support gut wall integrity, reduce inflammation and promote healthy digestive function.

B vitamins are essential for energy production, nervous system function, hormone balance and metabolism. Most women over 40 are low in B vitamins, particularly B12 and B6. This comprehensive complex provides all eight B vitamins in highly bioavailable forms.

Omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory, support heart health, brain function, mood and hormone balance. Most women do not get enough from diet alone. Biocare’s fish oil is highly purified and tested for heavy metals – quality matters enormously with fish oil.

Chromium supports healthy insulin sensitivity and blood sugar balance – critical for weight management, reducing cravings and managing energy levels throughout the day. Particularly helpful for women experiencing blood sugar dysregulation during perimenopause.

Bone density begins to decline in perimenopause as oestrogen falls. Calcium and magnesium together with vitamin D are the foundations of bone health. This formula uses highly absorbable forms of both minerals for maximum benefit.

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant essential for energy production in every cell of the body, particularly heart muscle cells. Levels decline naturally with age. Especially important for anyone taking statin medication which depletes CoQ10.

Iron deficiency is extremely common in women, particularly during perimenopause when periods can become heavier. Biocare’s iron formula is gentle on the stomach – unlike many iron supplements which cause constipation and nausea – and highly bioavailable.
