3 Go-To Supplements for Women over 40
The 3 Go-To Supplements for Women Over 40: Stronger, Leaner, and More Energised.
Let’s be real—after 40, things start to feel different. The workouts that once worked wonders aren’t delivering the same results, energy dips hit harder, and that stubborn belly fat seem more determined than ever to stick around.
But here’s the good news: your body isn’t broken. It just needs the right support.
As we move into our 40s and beyond, hormonal shifts, changes in metabolism, and muscle loss can make it harder to feel like our strongest, most energetic selves. The key? Supporting our body with the right nutrients to work with these changes instead of fighting against them.
While nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle are key, a few powerhouse supplements can help you retain muscle, burn fat more effectively, and boost energy. And no, we’re not talking about magic pills or quick fixes—we mean science-backed, effective support for your muscles, metabolism, and overall vitality.
Let’s dive into the top 3 must-have supplements every woman over 40 should consider.
1. Plant-Based Protein Powder: The Muscle + Metabolism Booster
Why you need it: After 40, if we are not being proactive, muscle mass naturally declines – and less muscle means more difficulty burning fat and maintaining strength, plus it can have a huge impact on your metabolism. Protein is essential for muscle repair, recovery, and growth, but many women don’t get enough—especially if they’re cutting calories or struggling with appetite changes.
How much? While we always encourage our tribe to aim for as many whole-food sources of protein in their diet every day, a perfect complement to this is 20-30g of protein powder, once or twice a day, or as required. We enjoy our protein in our overnight oats, morning smoothies or even our baking.
The benefits:
✅ Preserves muscle mass and prevents age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)
✅ Boosts metabolism, helping your body burn more calories naturally
✅ Keeps you fuller for longer, reducing cravings and energy crashes
✅ Supports fat loss by maintaining a healthy muscle-to-fat ratio
✅ Easy, delicious, and convenient!
🔬 Backed by science: Studies show plant-based protein is an effective addition to any diet when consumed in the right amounts, making it a great option for muscle support. (Source)
2. 100% Pure Collagen Powder: The Skin, Joint & Bone Hero
Why you need it: Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, responsible for keeping your skin firm, your joints mobile, and your bones strong. But here’s the problem—your body’s natural collagen production drops every year after 30, leading to dull and sagging skin, joint pain, and even increased risk of fractures.
How much collagen should I be having? It is recommended to take anywhere between 5-15g of collagen per day to see noticeable benefits. We throw ours in our morning coffee or smoothie!
The benefits:
✅ Boosts skin elasticity and hydration, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
✅ Supports healthy joints and mobility, reducing stiffness and discomfort
✅ Helps maintain bone density, crucial for preventing osteoporosis
✅ Improves gut health, supporting digestion and reducing bloating
✅ Aids in muscle recovery, making it a perfect post-workout addition
🔬 Backed by science: Research confirms that collagen peptides can enhance skin, joint, and bone health when taken consistently. (Source)
3. Creatine Monohydrate: The Strength, Energy & Brain Booster
Why you need it: Think creatine is just for bodybuilders? Think again! As estrogen levels decline, we lose muscle mass, strength, and even cognitive sharpness. Creatine is a powerful tool to support muscle, energy, and brain function—all of which decline as we age.
How much? For women, especially in (peri) menopause or high-level training, optimal dosing (~3-5g/day) can be a game-changer for building strength, maintaining muscle, and even improving brain health 🧬
The benefits:
✅ Increases strength and lean muscle, helping to combat age-related muscle loss
✅ Boosts energy production, reducing fatigue and improving workout performance
✅ Supports bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis
✅ Improves memory, mental clarity, and brain function (goodbye, brain fog!)
✅ Helps prevent muscle loss during menopause, supporting overall vitality
🔬 Backed by science: As one of the most heavily researched supplements, studies confirm creatine is a game-changer for women over 40, enhancing strength and cognitive function. (Source)
