Replenish, Restore & Recharge With The Best Supplements For Women's Health

Women's health supplements are essential in supporting wellbeing across different life stages. From the hormonal shifts in puberty, preparing for pregnancy, through postpartum recovery, and finally navigating perimenopause and menopause. Women experience ongoing changes that influence energy levels, mood, bone strength, skin health, and overall vitality. These changes are driven by fluctuations in hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone, which impact nutrient needs over time.

Essential minerals and vitamins like magnesium, zinc and vitamin D3 & K2 are foundational for women's health. They help maintain overall health through these transitions, supporting muscle function, bone health, immune system health, and reproductive system health. 

In this article, we will discover Christie's story and passion for helping other women, how essential nutrients can help each phase of women's health, and why Veritroo supplements are here to support women’s health. Backed by scientific research, they contribute to healthy muscle function, energy production, immune system health, bone health and reproductive system health.

Christie's story: Hormonal Balance

For Christie, co-founder of Veritroo and mum of four, this journey has been deeply personal. After four pregnancies in six years and five years without a menstrual cycle between her last three children, Christie found herself utterly depleted with hormonal imbalances. She was showing up for her children, but inside, she didn't feel like herself. Her hormones were flatlining, and her energy was gone; it was her body calling out for support. 

So she turned to what she could control: nutrition. She began researching micronutrient depletion, especially post-pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. She started taking supplements to rebuild her energy, support her hormones, and feel like herself again. Hormonal balance is vital in women supporting themselves.

That's how Veritroo began for Christie. Finding high-quality supplements that were clean and effective to support women and families who give their all and deserve to feel their best.  

1. Puberty & Early Adulthood: Hormonal Shifts

Early adulthood brings significant hormonal changes as oestrogen and progesterone levels rise and cycles become established. This stage is not just about growth; it's about setting the foundation for lifelong hormonal health.  Many women look for health vitamins and minerals to support this stage to maintain healthy reproductive hormones. 

• Zinc supports skin health, immune function and reproductive system health. A systematic review in the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology (Dhaliwal et al., 2020) found that zinc supplementation supports skin health in a range of inflammatory skin conditions, while a review in Nutrients (Crawford et al., 2022) confirmed zinc's role in maintaining healthy immune system function. Zinc is also closely linked to reproductive system health, with research in Nutrients (Nasaidek et al., 2020) highlighting its importance in female reproductive system development and function.
  
  

• Magnesium supports the nervous system, muscle function and energy production. A systematic review published in Nutrients (Botturi et al., 2020) demonstrated its importance for maintaining nervous system health. While a review in JADMA (Van Dronkelaar et al., 2017) showed its role in muscle performance. In addition, a study in Nutrients (Tardy et al., 2020) identified magnesium as a critical nutrient for energy metabolism and reducing fatigue, making it particularly valuable for active and developing bodies.
  
  

• Vitamin D3 is vital for bone mineralisation and muscle health during this stage of development. A meta-analysis (Kuang et al., 2020) found that the combination of Vitamin D and Vitamin K improves bone quality. While a review (Alonso et al., 2023) confirmed Vitamin K's role in bone metabolism and another review (Chiang et al., 2017) showed Vitamin D supplementation can improve muscle strength, supporting skeletal development and physical performance.

Important nutrients for young adult women:

• Zinc- supports skin health, immune system health and reproductive health

• Magnesium- supports nervous system health, healthy muscle function and energy production

• Vitamin D3 & K2- supports bone mineralisation and muscle function

2. Preconception: Building the Foundation

When trying to conceive, your body's nutrient needs shift toward supporting reproductive system health and preparing for the demands of pregnancy. Many women start to explore preconception supplements to help maintain optimal nutrient levels.

• Zinc supports healthy reproductive hormones and is an essential nutrient for preconception health. At the clinically researched 50mg elemental dose (Nasiadek et al., 2020), it supports healthy hormone levels, normal ovulation and overall reproductive system health. Zinc also plays a role in cell division and DNA synthesis, and key processes from conception through early pregnancy.
  
  

• Magnesium supports energy production, healthy blood sugar metabolism and general well-being in the lead-up to pregnancy. A study (Veronese et al., 2021) found magnesium supplementation improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control, particularly over longer durations. These benefits help support sustained energy and metabolic health during this critical stage.
  
  

• Vitamin D3 & K2 support immune system health and muscle function, both important for general wellbeing before pregnancy. Chowdhury et al. (2014) linked adequate vitamin D to reduced risk of all-cause mortality. While another study (Chiang et al., 2017) found that vitamin D supplementation supports healthy muscle function. Together with K2, vitamin D3 also helps maintain foundational health in preparation for pregnancy.

Nutrients to focus on in preconception:

• Zinc- supports reproductive system health and healthy reproductive hormones

• Magnesium- supports energy production, general wellbeing and healthy blood sugar levels

• Vitamin D3 & K2- supports immune health and healthy muscle function

3. Postpartum: Supporting Recovery & Vitality

The postpartum stage is physically demanding, with increased nutrient needs for recovery and, if breastfeeding, for milk production. Postpartum recovery supplements can help bridge the gaps.

• Zinc plays a role in wound healing and immune function. A study (Momen-Heravi et al., 2017) found that zinc supplementation at a 50mg elemental dose supports wound healing. Studies in Crawford et al. (2022) confirmed the benefits of immune support. For postpartum mothers, when energy levels are low and rest is limited, protecting immune health is essential to support recovery and keep up with daily demands.
  
  

• Magnesium plays a vital role in supporting relaxation, nervous system health and quality sleep. One study (Rawji et al., 2024) found that magnesium supplementation improves sleep quality, and another review (Botturi et al., 2020) reported benefits in relieving nervous tension. After pregnancy and childbirth, magnesium stores can be depleted due to the demands of recovery, blood loss and breastfeeding, while disrupted sleep is a common issue for new mothers. Ensuring sufficient magnesium intake may help promote deeper restorative rest when it's possible, ease nervous tension and support overall postpartum recovery.
  
  

• Vitamin D3 & K2 supports bone mineralisation and optimises calcium absorption, which is especially important for replenishing nutrient stores after pregnancy. Kuang et al. (2020) and Alonso et al. (2023) provide strong evidence that adequate vitamin D plays a key role in maintaining bone strength and preventing calcium loss, while vitamin K helps direct calcium into bones and away from soft tissues. Together, they offer a synergistic approach to supporting skeletal health during the demanding postpartum recovery period.
  
  

Nutrients to focus on in postpartum recovery:

• Zinc- Supports wound healing, skin health and immune function

• Magnesium- supports nervous system health, muscle relaxation and healthy sleep patterns

• Vitamin D3 & K2- supports bone mineralisation and calcium absorption

4. Perimenopause & Menopause: Maintaining Strength, Hormone Levels & Resilience 

Perimenopause and menopause can affect bone density, cardiovascular health and energy levels. Many women, through this stage, look for perimenopause and menopause supplements.

• Zinc supports skin integrity and elasticity while acting as a powerful antioxidant, benefits that are particularly relevant during menopause when hormonal changes can affect skin texture and resilience. A review (Dhaliwali et al., 2020) reported improvements in skin health with adequate zinc intake, and Nault et al. (2024) reviewed zinc's role in reducing oxidative stress by decreasing free radical damage. Beyond skin health, a study (Mazaheri Nia et al., 2021) found that zinc supplementation in postmenopausal women improved testosterone levels and enhanced sexual function, suggesting its role in supporting healthy hormonal levels and overall quality of life during this stage. By promoting collagen production, tissue repair, hormonal support, and cellular defence, zinc can help women navigate menopause with vitality and confidence.
  
  

• Magnesium plays a role in maintaining cardiovascular system health, supporting energy production, and restoring sleep. A meta-analysis (Zhao et al., 2019) found that higher magnesium intake was associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. A review (Tardy et al., 2020) highlighted its essential role in energy metabolism and sustaining vitality. For women in menopause, when cardiovascular risk increases and fatigue can become more pronounced, maintaining adequate magnesium levels may help protect heart health, improve energy availability and support overall well-being.
  
  

• Vitamin D3 & K2 provide powerful support for bone and cardiovascular health, making them especially valuable during menopause when risks of osteoporosis and cardiovascular changes increase. A meta-analysis (Kuang et al., 2020) found that the combination improves bone quality by enhancing calcium absorption and mineralisation. A clinical trial (Knapen et al., 2015) showed that vitamin K2 supplementation improved arterial stiffness in healthy postmenopausal women. Together, these nutrients not only help strengthen bones but also promote vascular flexibility, supporting long-term skeletal and cardiovascular well-being in menopause.

Vitamins & Minerals to focus on through perimenopause and menopause:

• Zinc- supports skin health, healthy hormone levels and antioxidant activity

• Magnesium- supports cardiovascular health, energy production and sleep quality

• Vitamin D3 & K2- supports bone health, cardiovascular health and calcium absorption
