In part two of my Supplement Series, we’re diving into the grey area — the supplements that might help, or might just be draining your bank account.

This episode breaks down the big five “Should I be taking this?” supplements for midlife women: magnesium, iron, B-vitamins, collagen and Vitamin C.

We look at what the research actually says, what the marketing conveniently skips, and how to work out whether any of these are genuinely useful for you — or whether you’re fixing a problem you don’t actually have.

You’ll get clear guidance on:
• When magnesium really helps (and when it doesn’t)
• Why iron should never be self-prescribed
• Who genuinely needs B12
• The truth behind collagen’s modest benefits
• And why Vitamin C is… fine, but not magical

By the end you’ll know exactly which of these belong in your routine — and which you can confidently stop wasting money on.
