Supplements in Menopause: What to Take, What to Avoid & How to Stay Safe. S7. Ep. 1.

Nutritionist Jackie Lynch explains how to use supplements safely in menopause, covering multivitamins, minerals, omegas, probiotics, and essential tips. Supplements can be a minefield in menopause —in this solo episode, Jackie explains how to navigate them safely and effectively. Jackie stresses that a nutrient-rich, balanced diet is your foundation, but she also explains why getting every nutrient perfectly from food alone is harder than it sounds. Factors like stress, medications, alcohol, caffeine, depleted soil, and modern food storage all make it tricky to rely on diet alone — and that’s where supplements can be a helpful top-up. She covers when a multivitamin might help, and how to choose well-absorbed forms of micronutrients, so that you get the best value for money. Jackie also shares essential safety tips on dosage, timing, and interactions with medications, and highlights which supplements might not be suitable for certain health conditions. If you want clear, practical guidance to support your energy, bones, mood, and overall wellbeing, this episode gives you the expert advice you need to make informed choices as you navigate the supplement aisle.
