Friendly, evidence-led, just for women

What to take, wherever you are in life.

Her Vitals is a UK women's life-stage health and supplement authority. We curate and review existing branded supplements across the stages women move through, from trying to conceive and pregnancy to postnatal, perimenopause, menopause and the senior years, and explain in warm, plain English what the evidence supports and what it does not.

Her Vitals is an independent editorial and information service, not a clinic, pharmacy or prescriber. Our reviews are edited by Oliver Mackman, and every figure links to a primary source such as EFSA or the NHS. We may earn affiliate commission on some products we link to, which never changes what we say. Always speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting a supplement.
