Supplement library
The supplements from our earlier condition stacks, why each one was included, and what to check first.
Under review. This library was written before our focus on the menstrual cycle, and it's being re-checked against our current evidence standards. It explains research. It isn't medical advice, and it can't account for your medicines or health history.
- Talk to your GP or pharmacist before starting anything, especially if you take prescribed medication.

Show supplements for:
Perimenopause: HRT remains the most effective treatment for many perimenopause symptoms. These supplements don't replace it.
MCAS: introduce one new supplement every 1–2 weeks at most and record reactions. Where possible, test vitamin D, B12 and red-cell magnesium first.
