During menopause, vitamins play a crucial role in supporting overall health. It is always better to get vitamins directly from food as we absorb them better. However I am going to list the top 5 vitamins that will energize you during menopause. I always suggest to purchase organic high quality vitamins as low quality vitamins can be tinted with heavy metals.
Our body can not make vitamin, therefore we need to get them from our food or as a supplement. vitamin D maintains bone health and reduces osteoporosis risk. Calcium counters bone density loss. Vitamin B1 helps with brain fogs, and helping hair loss, B3 is good for brain and heart health, B6 alleviates mood swings and osteoporosis; B12 boosts energy and helps UTI, Biotin (another B vitamin) helps with hair, skin and nails. You can purchase a B vitamins complex, which has all the B vitamins combines. vitamin E reduces hot flashes, dry skin and vaginal dryness. Vitamin K aids bone health. Magnesium eases muscle cramps; omega-3 fights inflammation. Vitamin C supports immunity and collagen production. Vitamin A is good for the skin, because of its untioxidant activity.

She is very knowledgeable and her videos and book very informative. You can find her book at Amazon Menopause Your Management Your Way Now and for the Rest of Your Life.
