Why Vitamins Are Essential During Perimenopause – And How to Support Your Body Through It

If you're in your 40s (or even late 30s) and feeling a bit "off", you're not alone. Mood swings, poor sleep, weight changes, brain fog, anxiety, irregular periods—welcome to perimenopause.

It’s the transitional phase before menopause, where your hormones begin to fluctuate, often wildly. And while it’s completely natural, it can also feel anything but easy.

But here’s the good news: you can support your body during this time through good nutrition, lifestyle choices, and crucially—vitamins.


🌿 Why Vitamins Matter During Perimenopause

Your body is working overtime trying to adjust to hormone changes—especially oestrogen and progesterone. As levels dip and spike, it impacts everything from your mood and metabolism to your bones and brain.

This is when nutritional gaps can make things worse. Even if you eat a healthy diet, stress, age, and hormone shifts can affect how your body absorbs and uses nutrients. That’s where vitamin support comes in.


🔑 Key Vitamins That Support You Through Perimenopause

💥 Vitamin B6 & B12 – Help regulate mood, energy, and reduce brain fog. B6 also supports the nervous system and helps manage hormone-related symptoms like irritability and anxiety.

💪 Vitamin D & K – Essential for bone health, which becomes a bigger concern as oestrogen declines. D also supports mood, immune function and muscle strength.

💭 Choline – Supports cognitive function, focus, and memory—especially when brain fog sets in.

🧬 Folic Acid – Helps with hormone balance, supports red blood cell production and contributes to mental wellbeing.

Vitamin C & E – Powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation, support skin health, collagen production and fight fatigue.

💅 Biotin (B7) – Supports hair, skin and nail health—often affected during perimenopause.


🥗 Why Diet Still Matters

Eating a varied, nutrient-rich diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, healthy fats, whole grains and lean proteins can make a huge difference. But let’s be real—life is busy, and we don’t always have the time or energy to tick every box.

That’s why vitamin support is more than just a backup—it’s part of the foundation.
