Vitamin D

What does it support? Good bone health, Mood and immune system.

 

Menopause Matters! During menopause oestrogen drops and bone loss speeds up. Vitamin D is important as it helps your body absorb much needed calcium.

 

Pick a Vitamin D rich food...

• Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)

• Egg yolks

• Fortified yoghurt

• Milk - look for dairy or plant that has had Vitamin D added to it! 

• Liver (small amount - not one for me but...!)

• Tinned tuna in oil

 
Food sources of Vitamin D are quite limited, so supplements could be your friend here, especially during those winter months where (depending on your location), sunlight might be limited. The good news is Vitamin D tablets and gummies don't seem to be attracting the high price tag that comes with some menopause supplements.
