If you checked 2 or more: Your body might be running low on key nutrients — and it’s more common (and fixable) than you think.
Why Nutrient Needs Shift With Age
As women move through their 30s, 40s, and 50s, estrogen levels naturally begin to decline — and with it, our ability to absorb and retain critical nutrients. Stress, digestive shifts, and hormone imbalances only make it harder.
That’s why many women experience fatigue, mood swings, or aches and pains and chalk it up to aging — when it’s often a nutrient gap whispering (or shouting) for attention.
The Nutrients That Help You Feel Like You Again
After 40, your body’s nutrient demands evolve — and meeting them can make a dramatic difference in how you feel day to day.
Some of the most common nutritional deficiencies include:
- Protein: As women age, the body becomes less efficient at using protein — a process called anabolic resistance. This makes it harder to build or maintain muscle without higher-quality protein and strength training. Getting enough of the nine essential amino acids is key for preserving lean mass, recovering from workouts, and keeping your metabolism strong.*†
- Vitamin D3 does more than protect your bones — it also supports muscle strength, immune defense, heart health, and brain function. As estrogen drops during perimenopause, your body’s ability to use vitamin D declines too. This combo accelerates bone and muscle loss, making D3 essential for staying strong, steady, and resilient through midlife and beyond.*†
- Magnesium plays a role in everything from muscle relaxation to stress management and hormone balance — yet most women don’t get enough. Deficiency can show up as anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, headaches, or even irregular heart rhythms. It also helps activate vitamin D and supports calcium absorption, making it essential for bone, mood, and metabolic health as you age.*†
When you begin to fuel your body with key nutrients it craves and relies on, like the ones we listed above, you may feel more revitalized. Feelings of increased energy, improvement in your mood, or even changes in your appearance, can all come from having proper levels of essential vitamins and minerals.
