After 50, many women experience changes like joint pain, slower metabolism, and lower energy. “These shifts are natural,” but they’re also a reminder that it’s time to focus more on health. Supplements can help you not only manage aging but “thrive through it.”
**Omega-3**: These fatty acids from fish like salmon are known for reducing inflammation, supporting heart and brain health, and improving mood. “Since the body cannot produce omega-3s on its own, supplements are a reliable way” to get enough. Those on blood thinners should talk to their doctor first.
**Vitamin D & Calcium**: “Vitamin D is critical for maintaining bone strength and calcium absorption,” especially after menopause. It also supports the immune system and may lower disease risk. Calcium helps preserve bone density. Women over 51 should aim for 1,200 mg of calcium daily.
**Magnesium**: Helps with muscle function, sleep, energy, and stress. A deficiency can lead to fatigue and cramps. This mineral also supports a steady heart rhythm.
**Probiotics & Collagen**: Gut health affects immunity, digestion, and mood. “Probiotics help restore balance to gut bacteria.” Collagen supports skin, joints, and bones, which weaken with age. Daily collagen may improve hydration, bone strength, and muscle tone.
Supplements can fill nutritional gaps and support healthy aging.
