Women's nutritional needs change with the stages of life, and they change considerably. Adolescence, the reproductive years, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause each ask for something slightly different, and a single product rarely answers all of them. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and monthly losses make it a frequent topic. Folate contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Calcium and vitamin D contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, which carries more weight after menopause. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not add any supplement without asking your doctor or pharmacist — this is one of the situations where general advice is not enough. The products listed here are associated with this goal. Where to start: a blood test for iron and vitamin D answers most of the questions in this category, and makes the answer specific rather than guessed. The BioHack generator suggests nothing at all if you are pregnant or breastfeeding — that protocol is a professional’s to build.
