Midlife is full of changes—your skin, your hair, your hormones and with so many supplements on the market, it’s tough to know what really works. In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina recaps her conversation with dermatologist Dr. Glynis Ablon and shares what midlife women actually need to know about supplements.

From collagen and vitamin D to nicotinamide and hair-supporting nutraceuticals, Dr. Mina explains the science behind each option and why nutrition must always come first. She also reveals the biggest mistakes women make with supplements, how to choose safe, research-backed products, and why your needs today are different from ten years ago.

Key Takeaways

  • Midlife brings unique changes—supplements can help, but they’re never a replacement for nutrition.

  • Collagen peptides may support skin by stimulating fibroblasts, but they won’t “magically” plump your cheeks.

  • Vitamin D is a must-have for midlife women—testing is key since most are deficient.

  • Nicotinamide can significantly reduce the risk of skin cancers and precancers.

  • Hair health is complex, but nutraceuticals like Nutrafol and Viviscal can be helpful alongside medical care.

  • Always choose third-party verified supplements and research-driven brands.

  • Your supplement needs evolve with age—bloodwork helps you choose wisely.

If you’ve been searching for clear answers in the noisy supplement world, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical next steps to support your skin and health in midlife.
