We're not necessarily looking for the same thing after giving birth and during the transition to menopause. That's why some ranges are organised around a stage of life, rather than just around an ingredient.
After-Baby Essentials illustrates the first approach. This multivitamin capsule formula notably combines B vitamins, vitamins C and D3, as well as zinc and selenium. It was designed to give nutrition a clear place at a time when the days (and nights) are often very full.
Serene Transition addresses another context. This capsule formula combines plant extracts, zinc and several vitamins. Its product page should be read carefully: the presence of plants calls for specific precautions, especially if you are on medication. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Before starting a course
Take the time to look at what you already take. Two different products may contain the same vitamins or minerals. Also check the precautions for use, and don't see a supplement as an automatic answer to persistent fatigue or symptoms that worry you.
During pregnancy, after giving birth or if you are on medical treatment, a doctor, midwife or pharmacist can help you make a suitable choice. The right routine is first and foremost the one that takes your situation into account.
