Needs change markedly across a life stage — iron and folate most of all — and the right supplement at one stage is the wrong one at another.

What actually helps
  • Folate before conception rather than after the positive test.
  • Checking iron rather than assuming, and treating it properly when it is low.
  • Asking us before continuing anything herbal in pregnancy.
  • Inositol for PCOS, which has reasonable evidence behind it.

Flushes, sleep, mood and bone.
