From teenage years to menopause and beyond, women’s bodies go through a lot—and their nutritional needs change along the way. At McGorisks Pharmacy, we believe women deserve targeted, pharmacist-approved support at every life stage. Whether it’s managing hormonal changes, boosting energy, or supporting bone and skin health, we’ve got the right supplements to help you feel your best.
Here’s your age-by-age guide to the most important supplements for women—and our top pharmacy picks to match.
Teens & Early 20s: Building Foundations
The teenage years are all about growth, development, and setting a healthy foundation. With school stress, skin changes, and hormonal shifts, nutritional support is key.
Top Picks:
- Pharma Plus Active Immune Teen – A tailored multivitamin for teens packed with immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and energy support.
- Iron & Folic Acid – Important for young women, especially with the start of menstruation.
20s to 30s: Energy, Hormones & Skin
These are the prime years for energy, fertility, and busy lifestyles—but also stress, poor sleep, and skin concerns. Supporting energy metabolism and hormonal balance is essential.
Top Picks:
- Pharma Plus Omega 3 – Supports brain function, skin health, and mood balance.
- B-complex Vitamins – Help reduce fatigue and improve mental focus.
- Skin-supporting supplements – Look for Zinc, Vitamin C, or collagen boosters for skin and nail health.
30s to 40s: Family, Fertility & Resilience
Whether you’re thinking about family, managing career stress, or maintaining wellness, these years call for strong immunity, hormone regulation, and stress support.
Top Picks:
- Pregnancy or Preconception Multivitamins – Including folic acid, Vitamin D, and iron.
- Magnesium – Supports sleep, muscle function, and stress.
- Probiotics – Gut health is closely linked to immunity and hormonal health.
40s to 50s: Perimenopause & Menopause Support
Hormonal changes become more noticeable in your 40s, and symptoms of perimenopause can creep in. This stage is all about hormone balance, bone strength, and energy support.
Top Pick:
- Pharma Plus MenoPlus – Specifically designed by Irish pharmacists to support women through perimenopause and menopause. With fish oils, B-vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, it targets fatigue, hormone balance, and cardiovascular health.
60s and Beyond: Bone, Brain & Heart Health
As oestrogen levels drop and ageing accelerates, focus shifts to bone density, heart health, and cognitive support. This is also the time to keep immunity strong and inflammation in check.
Top Picks:
- Calcium with Vitamin D3 – Helps maintain bone strength and prevent osteoporosis.
- Omega 3 or CoQ10 – For cardiovascular and brain health.
- Multivitamins for 50+ Women – Support for immune defence, eye health, and energy.
