Perimenopause: Could It Be Why You're Feeling Off? How Nutrition & Vitamins Can Help

Are you feeling more tired than usual, snapping at the people you love, or struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Has your period changed? Are you suddenly forgetting things you’d never usually forget?

You might be wondering, “Am I perimenopausal?” or “How do I know I’m going through perimenopause?”

You’re not alone. Perimenopause can creep in gradually—often starting in your 30s or 40s—and symptoms can be confusing, frustrating, and easy to brush off as ‘just stress’ or ‘getting older’.

But the truth is, your hormones are shifting, and your body is asking for a bit more support. That’s where good nutrition and daily vitamins can make a real difference.

🤔 Common Questions During Perimenopause:

Why am I so tired all the time? Hormonal changes (especially dropping progesterone) can leave you feeling permanently drained. Add in low levels of Vitamin B12, B6 and D, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for fatigue.

Why can’t I concentrate like I used to? Brain fog is a real thing in perimenopause. B vitamins (especially B1, B6 and B12), along with Choline, support memory, focus and cognitive clarity.

Why am I snapping or crying at the smallest things? Mood swings, anxiety and irritability are common when hormones fluctuate. Vitamin B6 helps regulate mood-related neurotransmitters, and Vitamin D is linked to emotional wellbeing.

Why does my skin feel dry and dull? Oestrogen supports skin elasticity and moisture. As levels dip, Vitamin A, Biotin (B7), and Vitamin C become even more important to keep your skin glowing from the inside out.

Why are my periods all over the place? Perimenopause often brings irregular cycles. Folic Acid and B6 can help support hormonal balance during this transition.

Why do I feel weaker, and my joints ache more? Dropping oestrogen levels can affect muscle and bone strength. Vitamin D, K and C support bones and collagen production to keep you feeling strong and supported.
