Best Supplements for Women Over 50: My Real-Life Routine

Before I dive into the full list of supplements I take as a woman over 50, let me start with this important note: I’m not a doctor. As someone navigating midlife changes and the realities of being a woman over 50, I’ve spent time researching supplements for women over 50 that actually help with energy, clarity, and aging well. Please check with your healthcare provider before adding anything to your own routine.

A Simple Way To Remember Your Supplements

That said, I love hearing what others take and why, so I thought it might be helpful if I pulled back the curtain and shared my current supplement lineup, along with how I time everything (especially since I take Synthroid for thyroid support and Estradiol for hormone replacement).

As you can see, I put some of my supplement powders in storage canisters and place them on my coffee station. I drink coffee every morning, and this is a simple way I remember to include my Collagen Peptides and D-Mannose Powder. Since I’ve started taking more supplements, I’ve got two Daily Pill Boxes (Box 1 and Box 2) on order. I’ll let you know which one works best once they arrive.

Why I Take Supplements

As someone who works on a computer all day, I know I don’t move as much as I should. I’ve also been following a carnivore diet, which means I eat a lot of meat and not much else. While that works well for me, it also means I need to be intentional about replacing certain nutrients I’m no longer getting from a wider variety of foods. This routine has become my go-to approach for healthy aging supplements and simple, effective daily vitamins for women in midlife.

I’ve noticed that energy, brain fog, and sleep take a hit in midlife. So, after doing my own research and talking with my healthcare provider, I’ve built a supplement routine that focuses on:

  • Healthy aging and cellular repair
  • Brain function and energy
  • Inflammation and antioxidant support
  • Muscle and joint health
  • Hormonal and thyroid balance
  • Hydration and cramp prevention

My Daily Supplement Routine (With Timing and Why I Take Each One)

Here’s a breakdown of what I take each day, why I take it, and how I time everything around Synthroid.

🌜 Morning (Empty Stomach)

  • Synthroid – Thyroid medication needs to be taken on an empty stomach, with water only. I take this first thing and wait at least 60 minutes before eating or drinking anything else.

☕️ Mid-Morning (After Breakfast or With Coffee)

In my morning coffee, I mix:

  • Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides – As we age, our natural collagen production decreases, which can lead to wrinkles, joint stiffness, and weaker hair and nails. I take collagen to support skin elasticity, joint comfort, and to strengthen my nails and hair. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in skin texture and overall resilience since adding this in.
  • D-Mannose Powder – This natural sugar helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract and has become an essential part of my routine for preventing occasional urinary tract discomfort. It’s simple, safe, and supports one of those not-so-fun parts of aging gracefully.
  • Thorne Buffered Vitamin C Powder – I take this primarily to support collagen synthesis and to boost my immune system. The buffered form includes magnesium and potassium, which also helps with hydration and cramp prevention. It’s gentler on the stomach than regular vitamin C, which is important for daily use.

I also take:

  • Resveratrol – This antioxidant is one of my go-tos for healthy aging. It supports cardiovascular function and brain clarity. I also love that it may have anti-inflammatory effects, which is important since inflammation tends to creep up as we get older. I take it with food to help with absorption.

⏰ Late Morning

  • Tru Niagen (Nicotinamide Riboside) – I take the 300mg daily dose, which feels like the right balance for me. It’s the dose most of the clinical studies use, and it’s been enough to help with my energy and focus without being overly intense. Since I’m already taking Timeline Mitopure and CoQ10 occasionally, I didn’t feel the need to go up to the higher 500mg Pro version. This dose fits into my routine easily and works well alongside the other mitochondrial-support supplements I’m already using. I take it mid-morning, well after my thyroid medicine, to avoid any interference with absorption

🍽️ Lunch

  • Timeline Mitopure (Urolithin A) – This is one of my favorite discoveries for healthy aging. It helps clear out damaged mitochondria (the energy factories of our cells) and encourages new ones to grow. Since I’m not super active, this gives my cells the support they need to stay energized and healthy.
  • Turmeric Extract (2250mg, 95% Curcuminoids) – I take this to combat inflammation, which is the root of so many age-related health issues. It’s been especially helpful for joint comfort and overall recovery. The high curcuminoid percentage ensures potency, and I take it with fat for better absorption.
  • LMNT Electrolyte Drink – On the carnivore diet, I’m not getting electrolytes from typical food sources, so this helps maintain balance. The sodium, potassium, and magnesium keep my energy steady and have completely eliminated the leg cramps I used to get. I use LMNT daily to stay hydrated and avoid that mid-day slump.

🌙 Evening

  • Estradiol – I take this at the time prescribed by my doctor.
  • Magnesium Glycinate – Magnesium is vital for over 300 bodily functions, and I take this specific form at night to help with muscle relaxation, deeper sleep, and stress support. It also complements what I get from the Buffered C powder and helps calm my nervous system before bed.

Additional Daily Essentials I Include (And Why They’re Foundational)

If I feel like I need an extra boost or I’m going through a high-stress season, I sometimes add:

  • CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) – CoQ10 plays a crucial role in energy production at the cellular level, and the ubiquinol form is especially well-absorbed for those of us over 50. I take it to support my heart, brain, and overall mitochondrial function, especially on days when I feel my energy is lagging. It pairs nicely with Timeline and Tru Niagen but adds an extra boost when needed.
  • Omega-3 (High-DHA Fish Oil) – Omega-3s help with so many things: inflammation, brain clarity, joint comfort, and heart rhythm. I prefer a high-DHA formula, which is especially beneficial for cognitive function. I take it when I’m not eating much fish or when I want to support focus and skin hydration from within.
  • Probiotic (Seed DS-01™ Daily Synbiotic) – After doing a lot of reading and trying different brands, this is the one I’ve committed to using daily. It supports not just gut health but also skin clarity, heart health, and immune balance. I take it either at night or first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, well away from Synthroid. Because I follow a carnivore diet, I’m not getting prebiotic fiber from foods, so this helps fill the gap with a clean, clinically studied blend that makes me feel more balanced overall. It is the flagship formula for women and men focusing on gut, skin, and heart health.

Why This Routine Works for Me

This combination gives me steady energy and is one of the best supplement routines I’ve found for women in midlife. I built this routine by testing what really works when it comes to anti-aging supplements for women over 50, especially those of us who are more sedentary or follow low-carb lifestyles.

I’ve also noticed improvements in:

  • Joint comfort and flexibility
  • Skin texture and hydration
  • Fewer leg cramps and more restful sleep
  • Better focus and less brain fog in the afternoon

Spacing everything out properly (especially around Synthroid) has made a huge difference in how well everything works.

FAQs and Getting Started

What If I’m Just Getting Started with Supplements For Women Over 50?

If you’re overwhelmed by the list, you’re not alone! Here’s a simple place to start:

  • Collagen Peptides – For skin, joints, and hair
  • Buffered Vitamin C – For immune support and to pair with collagen
  • Magnesium Glycinate – For sleep, stress, and muscle support
  • Electrolytes (LMNT) – Especially important if you’re on a low-carb or carnivore diet
  • Probiotic (Seed DS-01) – For gut, skin, and immune health. Start small, give each new supplement time to settle into your routine, and adjust based on how your body responds.

What Are Some Budget-Friendly Supplements For Women Over 50 Alternatives?

If you’re watching your budget, you don’t have to skip supplements—you can simplify:

Are These Safe to Take with Thyroid Medication?

Yes, but timing is key. I take Synthroid first thing in the morning with water only, and I wait at least 60 minutes before having coffee or other supplements. I also avoid magnesium, calcium, and iron within 4 hours of taking it.

Can I Take Everything at Once?

I try to space things out! Some supplements absorb better with food, while others (like Tru Niagen or Probiotics) do better on an empty stomach. I’ve found that dividing things between morning, midday, and evening helps me feel steady and avoids overwhelming my system.

Do I Need to Take These Forever?

Not necessarily. I adjust based on how I feel and what’s going on in my life. Stress, travel, sleep changes, or seasonal shifts all influence what I take. Think of supplements as support, not a strict checklist.

Trusted Brands I Use (and Recommend You Research)

While I always recommend doing your own research or talking with a healthcare provider, since you might take different medicines than me, I know how overwhelming it can be to sort through endless options. Here are a few of the brands I’ve come to trust for their transparency, quality, and third-party testing:

  • Vital Proteins – For collagen peptides
  • Thorne – For buffered vitamin C, magnesium, and high-quality blends
  • Tru Niagen – For NAD+ support (nicotinamide riboside)
  • Timeline Nutrition – For Urolithin A (Mitopure)
  • Nordic Naturals – For high-DHA Omega-3
  • Qunol – For highly absorbable CoQ10 (ubiquinol form)
  • Just Thrive – For spore-based probiotics
  • Seed – For DS-01™ Daily Synbiotic (comprehensive gut and skin support)
  • LMNT – For clean, no-sugar electrolytes that work well with low-carb and carnivore diets

If you’re building your own stack, these are solid starting points with excellent reviews and clean labels.

Final Thoughts

Again, I’m not a doctor. This post isn’t medical advice, it’s just me sharing the supplements for women over 50 that I use. If you’re thinking about starting a new supplement or adjusting your current routine, talk to your healthcare provider first and check to see if your medicine and supplements play nicely together.

But if you’re curious, this is the routine I’ve built after trial, error, research, and real-world results. I hope it gives you a place to start or a few new ideas to consider for your own journey.

  1. 😁Can’t wait to hear your updates on all the supplements

  2. Found the smile face. Thank you 😊 for all the awesome tips. You’re the best!!

  3. 🙂 This was extremely interesting. I take a lot of supplements also and always tweaking them to accommodate my life. I have found if I take my magnesium in the evening I tend to wake up with a headache. Not sure why.

  4. Karen Gunter says:

    Magnesium has ended my night time leg cramps. Lots of good suggestions to consider here. 🙂

  5. Susan E Cantwell says:

    😊Thank you

  6. 🙂 I was taking collagen for a while, my nails were stronger but I also notice I was getting more facial hair so I stopped.

  7. 😊 great information. I really appreciate that you added your whys. I take supplements and each one has a reason- both why I take it and when I take it. I stick with just an am & pm routine but still the same reasons.

  8. Thanks for sharing your supplement routine.

  9. 😊 I’ve been taking supplements for many years. After I started I rarely get sick. I take good quality vitamins and supplements. During the pandemic I increased my vitamin D to 5000 IU. I didn’t get sick that year. When I lowered my vitamin D the year before last I got sick. I went back to 5000 iu and I didn’t get sick this past winter. Glucosamine and MSM by NOW helps me from pain in my fingers that have arthritis. About 2 years ago at the suggestion of a doctor, I began to take Bodyhealth Perfect Amino powder in the morning before eating. It has helped me absorb my food because I was having issues with my stomach and losing weight I didn’t need to. I also started other Bodyhealth products called Gut Restore, Gut Defense and Eliminate. I also take papaya enzymes after each meal. My stomach issues have resolved. Thank God. I will probably take these supplements forever. I have a subscription with Bodyhealth but even then the products are expensive. I think of them as medicine I have to take. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to look into some of the products you take.

    1. Terri, it sounds like you’ve got a good routine. I just suggest that you get blood work done to make sure everything is in check.

  10. Thanks for the information about the supplements that you take. I take quite a few of the same ones. Since I have a chronic condition, I run everything by my doctors before starting (as you suggested that everyone should). 🙂 Found it!

  11. Courtney Reidarson says:

    This was the BEST post ever! Thank you!! I keep switching up my supplements and I’m constantly researching. Thank you!

  12. I’m 74; play golf 3 times a week year round in sunny CA. My only presciption is an allergy pill at night. I take a multi vitamin and Prevagen. I also do a low carb diet but love fruits and veggies and lots of salads. Every year my doctor sends me for blood tests that show my mineral and vitamin levels and going by that I am not lacking anything. My energy level is good. My husband, though, takes many supplements plus gets a B12 shot once a week. It’s definitely a personal choice because only you and your doctor know your body! 🙂

  13. 😀 didn’t find it and yes, I take thyroid medication too so I understand about keeping things separate, etc. thank you

  14. 🙂 interested in collagen. Already take magnesium. Thinking about something anti-inflammatory. I had a bad experience with probiotics. Going to read over your post and make a list to discuss with Dr.

  15. Gayle Davis says:

    🙂. I took collagen for hair loss four years ago and it helped tremendously. I stopped because of the cost but really need to take it again since my hair is still very thin .

  16. Elizabeth Tobin says:

    😊I take a daily multivitamin and an organic plant calcium that contains D3, vitamin k-2 & magnesium. I plan to add marine collagen back to my routine. I used it for a while then switched to bovine collagen but I don’t like the bovine. My food plan is plant based with some seafood. I regularly walk 2 miles in the early morning, do weekly strength training and water aerobics at my health club. I hope I never need a pill organizer but I totally appreciate your need for one! Thanks for sharing your health routine!

  17. Stephanie Weeks says:

    Thanks for sharing. 😊

  18. 🙂 I take D3+K2, Calcium, C, Zinc and Estriol. They are all recommended by my healthcare providers. They have been tremendously helpful in helping my immune system. I’ve been using them for 3 years and have not gotten any of the viruses that have been circulating in my area. The calcium is for a bit of bone loss. I’m 64 and that’s typical. The estriol helps keep me hormonal balanced.

  19. 🙂 Interesting post. I take Lexothyroxine and managing supplements does require scheduling, lol. I take CitraCal, D3, OneADay (50+), and then periodically Vitamin C and zinc. My gastrologist suggested I take Metamucil (which I’m not found of). I would like to take Turmeric but it interferes with my BP meds. I haven’t tried collagen yet and will research to make sure there’s no interaction with my prescription meds.
    Appreciate you sharing your regimen!

  20. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this information. I currently take Vitamin D and Women’s One A Day. Recently a supplement for Macular Degeneration. Plus a low dose baby aspirin. Last fall my doctor put me on a low dose Metformin because my A 1c was high. I believe in supplements they helped me get through Menopause easily. Good luck with your changes.

    1. I take a baby aspirin most days also since I am on Estradiol.

  21. Thanks for all the information! :}

  22. 🙂
    Great information!
    I also chew up my Synthroid just to give it an extra chance of getting absorbed correctly.

  23. Laura DiSilvestro says:

    I take B12 and folic acid, which are essential for me because of severe deficiencies I have due to surgery years ago. This is checked every 6 months and adjusted under a doctor’s supervision. I also need D3 as I am deficient and calcium for bone loss. I say this because I think supplements of any kind should at least be discussed with a medical doctor. You CAN take too much of something. And, there are many that will interact with other medical conditions or medication you may be taking. At least have a conversation – a good doctor keeps informed and will know what is legit and what is not. And many of these supplements are not even regulated by the FDA and are not made in this country. You have to be careful. As far as skin I see a dermatologist and he recommended retinol. Just my opinion – I think it’s safer to work with doctors.

    1. Agreed. Everything we put in our bodies will have an affect on it, including the food and drinks we ingest.

  24. Used Vital Proteins for a while but need to start back. Good information

  25. I really loved that you shared your supplement regimen. I took your advice on several items.

    1. Make sure to check that they all play nicely with any other medicines you are taking.

  26. 😊Good info here. Thanks for sharing.

  27. 😊 Thanks for the info. Like you said…it’s important to take care of our bodies as we age. I take fish oil, a vitamin for eye health, a daily vitamin and calcium.

  28. sue koren says:

    🙂 Lots of good information

  29. sue koren says:

    🙂 Lots of good information

  30. 🙂 found it.
    This is a great post. You kind of lost me when you said you had to wait an hour before coffee in the morning, but we do what we have to do.
    Love the whisk frother and I use it for mixing up all my supplemental powders etc. Collagen, protein powder, benefiber, moonbrew at night, Laird’s coffee creamer, and cinnamon which I heard is good for inflammation. I have a compromised gut area due to pancreatic cancer surgery and all these things work for me. Along with about 5 other things to help out. Each of us is different and have various needs. Doctors are good but you have to keep asking the questions – they don’t all listen.

  31. Found it😊 on my phone today so it took a little hunting. I am going to add turmeric and ginger to my diet.

  32. ☺️ I’m on a lot of medication ( I’m in really poor health) and can’t imagine adding more supplements to that but will talk to my doctor about some of these to see if they would help me in any way.

  33. No smiley 😊 today? Most supplements upset my tummy. But I do add collagen to my coffee. Seemed to help my nails over time.

  34. You are taking a great stack. SuppCo app is what I use to check the quality of my supplements:

  35. That’s a lot of supplements to remember to take. That’s the worst part for me. Life gets busy.

  36. 🙂 I take a few supplements..not as many as you yet. I know I should start taking collagen.

  37. 😊 I take some of the Shaklee vitamins. The company has been around for years. You have to get a membership with a distributor which I did, and I order mine on their website. I take a vitamin pack which has a multivitamin, B+C complex, Caroto-E-Omega, and a pearl probiotic. Also take their Vivix gummies which is polyphenols. Also take Bio Schwartz calcium, D3, K2 and magnesium all in one capsule. I may need to look into turmeric and collagen. Thanks for all the information.

  38. 😊
    Great article on the importance of supporting our bodies with supplements as we age. Due to our poor, overly processed diets most of us consume, we are lacking in the essential nutrients and vitamins our bodies need.
    Enjoyed the post.

  39. Good post and reminder to get blood work checked. I’m curious how the carnivore diet is going?

    1. I am still loving the diet, but I’m not as strict as before. Life keeps getting in the way.

  40. Thank you Tanya. A little overwhelming so I appreciate the breakdown. Baby steps for this one 🙂 Took a couple things down and I will also save for future reference.

  41. 😀Found! I can’t thank you enough for this post.

  42. Good post and I like that you tell everyone to get their blood work done. My vitamin D fluctuates quite a bit from summer to winter.

    Curious how the carnivore diet is going and if you’ve lost weight?

    1. I’ve been at the same weight for a couple of months and haven’t been as strict as I need to be. I lost about 15 pounds.

  43. I enjoyed reading your list and use many of the supplements you are taking. One my doctor is on me about is B-12. It helps ward off dementia and Alzheimers and I’m sure has many other benefits as well. Those two words scare most of us and I am faithful in taking my B12. That’s an easy, inexpensive supplement to take and it’s over the counter.

  44. Jenniffer Groski says:

    😁These are some great supplements and your timing is on point with the Synthroid (I’ve been on it for almost 30 years). I take many of the same supplements and I also incorporate creatinine for muscle development from mind, Body, Green and Detox and Hydrate from Hugh & Grace

  45. Very interesting post! Thank you for this information.

  46. I’ve heard good things about Resveratrol for older women. Comes from grapes right? So I just drink wine …🤣. I take Vit C mostly in cold and flu season. Collagen peptides . Magnesium. Randomly take turmeric. I’ve wanted to try Berberine. Because I was diagnosed with osteoporoses at 39 (63 now) I take calcium and Vit D +K2.

  47. Sue Debord says:

    Nice choice of supplements. I also take the vital collagen and turmeric. 😃

  48. Charlie Watt says:

    😊. I’ve adhered to a supplement regime similar to yours and it has served me well. I also take Dr. Grundy’s MCT powder with my collagen powder in a shake and add lots of blueberries and raspberries.

  49. Thanks for the suggestions. I had been looking for a collagen supplement as I have trouble with hair loss due to some medications I’m on as well as a bout with Covid. My gynecologist specializes in postmenopausal women and recommended Nutrifol. She takes it for hair loss as well. It comes with a collagen supplement. This has been life changing. I put it off for several months because it is a bit pricey. But I’ve found it is so worth it!

    1. Robin, you are right that Nutrifol is pricey, and worth it. I looked in my Amazon cart, and it shows that I’ve bought it 7 times, not for me, but for my daughter. She now has nice thick hair and doesn’t have to take it any more.

  50. 😀 Thank you for some good first-hand knowledge on these different supplements. There are a couple I will be anxious to chat with my primary physician about. Joint pain and inflammation are my key concerns.

  51. 🙂 Very informative. That took you some time! I’ve taken some of these on and off. I’m always worried if I take too many, it’ll take a toll on my liver. I know…that’s probably just me.

  52. Thank you for sharing. A huge balancing act for sure.

    Found it!

  53. Good suggestions, Tania. Thank you. It’s so important to be pro-active and do what we can to maintain good health as we age. 🙂

  54. I have been using Vital Proteins collagen for about five years but didn’t realize there was an advanced formula! I may need to try it.

    1. Carolyn King says:

      I have been using bone broth to help with my PsA. Bone broth also has a lot of collagen.
      I love your suggestions Tania. Glad to see it has been helping you!

  55. Roberta Schwandner says:

    Make sure you are taking some sort of fiber since animal products do not have fiber.

  56. 🙂 Still not sure how I feel about taking so many supplements, but an interesting post.

  57. Alice from Virginia says:

    Hello Tania, it’s great to treat yourself well… as in healthy. My doctor told me that Vitamin D is so good for you that the government is going to clarify it as a drug. He said unless you spend a lot of time outside, which most Americans don’t, you should be taking it. But , of course, check with your own doctor for the best advise for you.
    I also take magnesium. It relaxes me and helps me fall asleep.
    I’ve added vitamin B12 to pill dispenser and noiced more energy and life a little sunnier about a month after I started taking it.
    I hope you find good results with your new routine. Don’t over due it. Some vitamins are not water soluble.
    Cheers, Alice

    1. Alice, I agree that Vitamin D is good for you. When I went to my doctor a coupe of years ago, they did a bone scan and said I had great bones, and even though I wasn’t low on Vitamin D, that I should take it to keep my bones healthy. I started taking it, and when I got my blood work done last year, my levels of Vitamin D were way toooo high. So, I stopped using it until I get blood work done again which should be in a couple of months.

  58. This is a very interesting and informative post. I take a lot of what you shared. I do D-Mannose daily but in a capsule. Also, fish oil/turmeric capsule combined. Vit D3, Zinc, Berberine, B complex. Sometimes I feel like a take too much stuff though. I do use collagen powder but not as much as I could. Thank you for sharing your regimen!

    1. Everyone is different, and have different needs. I think we should listen to our bodies, get our blood work checked, and try to be as healthy as we can.

  59. Teri O’Brien says:

    ☺️wow! That’s a lot of info. I have started researching collagen, so thanks

  60. 🙂 Thank you for sharing everything that you take to try to stay healthy and well. Can you give an approximate cost per day, week or month? I am older and really don’t take much medication or supplements and am not sure I can afford a whole regiment. Money gets tighter as every day goes by. And then add in the cost of trying to stay stylish and it is a very difficult thing to try to figure out what is best in both areas. Thank you again.

    1. Marty, I haven’t put a cost to the supplements I take. I’ve slowly added things to my routine, but I’m sure everyone doesn’t need the same ones I take. You should take to your doctor or have your blood work checked to see if you are deficient in some area.

  61. Julie Wood says:

    😊You seem to have the same issues that I have. I do take the collagen and see a difference in my skin, hair, and joints.

  62. Found it!
    I take Quercetin, Zinc, Vitamin C, D and Magnesium twice a day. During covid America’s frontline Dr’s recommended the above to improve your immune system as opposed to an experimental vaccine. This worked great for my husband and I and we very seldom get a cold. I pack extra for vacation especially if we fly and are cruising. I also take Turmeric, Probiotic and Black Cohosh for those pesky hot flashes.

    1. Sandie, I rarely get colds either. My husband had a cold that lasted three weeks, but I never got sick. My doctor told me once that our genes play a huge role in sickness, bone density, etc., but I’m trying to do everything I can to stay healthy.

      1. Susan Lindsay says:

        😊 I feel supplements are a very important part of of aging. You need to take what your body needs. Agree. With checking with your doctor about that. I had the same scenario with my vitamin d. I just take it twice a week and that seems to be the right dose for me.

        1. That might be what I have to do with my Vitamin D, but I’ll wait until I get my blood checked again.

  63. Gail Medeiros says:

    😊My husband does all the supplement research and he is very thorough. Great suggestions.

  64. Danette Enzminger says:

    😊 thanks for sharing. Lots of good products.

  65. Sherry Sousa says:

    Thank you for sharing your supplements. I’ve been looking for one for brain fog and memory and also for a gut probiotic. Word of mouth from someone who has used them is always the best way to find a good one. I also am looking to see if anyone has used a probiotic for vaginal health. I have chronic yeast infections. Nothing I have tried works. Thank you so much for the great information! God Bless you

    1. Sherry, I came across some for vaginal health when I was doing my research, but I can’t remember which brand it was. I do know it was one of the brands I shared today, so you might look at their storefront.

  66. Great article and information on supplements. I have taken magnesium for 20+ years, it helps with stress, sleep, and restless muscles. I take mine with a multi vitamin, and a vitamin D, if it’s been rainy, cloudy for several days and I have not been able to get outside. Have a blessed week!

  67. Good morning! May I ask where you found the Nordic Naturals Omega 3? I’m having trouble locating that one!
    😊Have a Blessed day!

  68. Donna Robinson says:

    Thank you for sharing! That is great and helpful information.

  69. Darlene Bright says:

    😊 I take some of these supplements. I will have to research the others. Great post!

  70. 🙂 A very interesting post! Have been considering collagen support. Thank you for reliable brand information.

  71. That’s a lot to keep up with throughout the day! 😊

    1. LeAnn, it is easier than you think. I take several things with my coffee, and a couple with my water. I have very few pills to take by themselves.

  72. 😊
    That’s a lot to take daily! I try to keep it simple.
    I have some Rx for hormone replacement, OAB, chronic dry eyes and Meniere’s Disease.
    My supplements help to support these and more.
    Vital Collagen Peptides, calcium, magnesium and omega 3.
    I also do a brisk 2-3 mile walk and gym classes (yoga, Pilates, or barre). My doctor said exercise gets oxygen to the brain and helps to keep Alzheimer’s away.

    Hello,
    I am interested in your thyroid journey and why you use synthroid rather than levothyroxine. I have no thyroid and wonder if that is your situation also. Thanks for the input.

    1. Judy, I had a hot spot on my thyroid, and the gave me a radiation pill for that. However, it killed too much of my thyroid, so I now have to take medicine. I used to take levothyroxine, but Synthroid seems to work better for me.

    🙂 A couple of observations: First, work with your team of doctors. They may have a reason for prescribing the Prilosec or the calcium or telling you to stop taking a supplement. Mine didn’t believe me when told her that I found that glucosamine chondroitin with msm works for me. I figured that out when I stopped taking it. A few weeks later, my low back was aching. AHA! I started back up and it was gone. Some medications don’t like others, so you have to let your pharmacies and your doctors know what you’re taking too so there aren’t any bad interactions.

    🙂 Loved this post. I take some of those supplements but not all of them.

    😀that takes a lot of research! The pill containers help a lot to keep us organized.

    I’m on a supplemental vitamins/minerals routine as well! I take a Vitamin B Super Complex, which provides me with all the B’s i need for energy. Calcium and D3 for my old crumbling bones, beet root capsules and L-argenine for blood pressure. Omega-3s too. I do feel the difference in energy and overall health. Thank you for discussing this!!

    1. Thanks for sharing. We are all different and need to find what works best for us.

  80. ☺️ Go Tania! Proud of you!
