Top 5 Supplements for Energy, Hormones & Skin (Backed by Science)

Feeling Tired, Moody, or Noticing Skin Changes?
The right supplements can support your energy, balance your hormones, and restore your glow — naturally. While supplements aren’t a magic fix, they’re often a crucial part of functional medicine care. Here are 5 science-backed supplements that many women benefit from during hormone shifts.

1. Magnesium Glycinate
✓ Supports sleep, mood, and stress regulation
✓ Helps ease hormone-related anxiety and muscle tension
✓ Promotes relaxation without drowsiness
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical processes — but most women are deficient. Glycinate is gentle on the stomach and ideal for daily use, especially at night.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA)
✓ Supports brain function, skin hydration, and hormone production
✓ Helps reduce inflammation and joint discomfort
✓ May ease PMS, perimenopause symptoms, and mood swings
Look for a high-quality fish oil with at least 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA combined.

3. B-Complex Vitamins
✓ Boosts cellular energy and combats fatigue
✓ Supports nervous system health and hormone detox
✓ May reduce PMS symptoms and brain fog
B vitamins are depleted during stress and hormone shifts. A methylated B-complex is ideal for bioavailability.

4. Collagen Peptides
✓ Supports skin elasticity, hair strength, and joint health
✓ May reduce fine lines and promote smoother skin
✓ Often helpful during postpartum recovery or aging skin concerns
Choose a hydrolyzed collagen powder with types I and III for best skin benefits.

5. Adaptogenic Herbs (e.g., Ashwagandha or Rhodiola)
✓ Helps your body adapt to physical and emotional stress
✓ Supports adrenal balance and healthy cortisol levels
✓ May improve libido, energy, and mood
These herbs are especially helpful during perimenopause, postpartum, or burnout phases — but should be chosen based on individual needs.
