Which supplements are really worth taking in your 40s, 50s and beyond? Liz is joined by nutritionist Rhian Stephenson, founder of ARTAH, to cut through the noise and focus on the evidence-backed essentials that can support women’s health as we age, from creatine and magnesium to iron and vitamin D. They discuss how to prioritise supplementation around your changing needs, the importance of fibre for gut health and why getting the basics right matters more than anything else.
