Every woman inching towards the age of 30 is warned enough of how the body changes once you hit three decades of existence. But do we prepare enough? From digestion and hormonal balance to stress levels, energy, and intimate health - a lot goes on inside the body during the transition into a new decade. The body automatically starts demanding certain nutrients. While supplements are not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, certain additions to support a balanced diet may help.
Health supplements for 30-plus women
Women today are increasingly dealing with gut imbalances, stress, poor sleep, bloating, recurrent infections, and nutritional deficiencies due to hectic lifestyles and hormonal fluctuations. Gut and Longevity Specialist Dr Arpit Bansal, who is also a cancer surgeon, tells HT Shop Now about five supplements that can support women’s health after 30. However, these should only be consumed after a detailed personal health analysis and following a consultation with a healthcare provider.
1. Women-specific probiotics
Women-specific probiotics are supplements designed to support gut, immune, vaginal, and urinary tract health. They contain specific bacterial strains, mainly Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These strains help keep a healthy, acidic pH in the body and can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and yeast.
