Vitamins and Supplements

You may wish to take Vitamins and supplements, (such as Vitamin D and Calcium) in addition to treatments used in menopause. 

These work by providing your body nutrients, where you may be vulnerable to changing hormones. 

You can also get a lot of nutrients from your diet and sunlight.  You may find some useful information from the National Osteoporosis society for Dietary tips. 

A note about complimentary medicines

It is important not to get Vitamins confused with Complimentary medicines, which are variable in their safety and effectiveness. Read our 'Non-Hormonal Medications' page for more information on this.
