Vitamin E
A dose of 800 IU/day has very little effect in reducing hot flushes. In comparison to Gabapentin, Vitamin E was found to be less effective for hot
flushes.
Vitamin B
Can reverse many health concerns and reduce the chances of experiencing negative post menopause diseases like heart issues, memory loss, and depression.
Calcium
Daily calcium intake of 1000-1200mg is necessary for bone health and improvement of
bone density. Calcium is best through diet and food. Additional supplementation of calcium should be around 500-600mg daily.
Calcium carbonate absorbs better when taken with a meal. For women with gastric issues, calcium citrate is better tolerated.
Vitamin D
The best source of Vitamin D is through 15-30 minutes of direct sunlight exposure on the skin daily. Adequate vitamin D reduce the risk of fractures and falls.
Vitamin D3 levels can be checked through an ordinary blood test. It is best to
optimise your Vitamin D intake based on these levels. Please consult your
doctor.
