Supplements I have used over time and that have given me good results
After 50, you start to notice changes that weren’t there before.
Skin loses firmness, dryness appears in the eyes or mucous membranes, and the body doesn’t respond to stress or sun exposure in the same way.
That’s normal.
That’s why many of us begin to wonder whether taking supplements for extra support makes sense.
In my case, I have been trying different products for more than 20 years.
I don’t always use the same ones, because the body changes and so do its needs.
There are stages when you need specific support, and others when your body simply needs a break.
That’s why I don’t believe in one single supplement or in taking the same thing all the time.
These are some of the products I have used over the years, depending on the moment and what I needed at each stage.
They are not the only ones, but they are the ones that, in my experience, have given me good results, which is why I mention them here.
When you need more complete support
Luxmetique Proage (Proage Day Formula)
This is one of the most complete supplements I have tried.
It combines collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, making it a very comprehensive formula.
In my experience, it helps improve skin elasticity and maintain the skin in better condition over time.
It comes in drinkable vials, which makes it easier to take higher doses of active ingredients than with capsules.
It can be a good option when you want more intensive support for a period of time.
It’s not something to take all the time, but rather when you feel you need more complete support.It is also not inexpensive.
When hormonal changes or dryness appear
Gineseda (Cumlaude Lab)
This supplement is more focused on the perimenopause or menopause stage.
It includes ingredients that help maintain hydration in the skin and mucous membranes, something many women begin to notice with hormonal changes.
It may be useful when symptoms such as these appear:
dry eyes
vaginal dryness
thinner or less elastic skin
In my case, I have used it at specific moments when I needed that type of support.
It is a product designed for a particular situation, not something to take continuously without a reason.
When you want a practical and easy base to maintain
Colnatur Complex
This is a simpler and more accessible supplement, but one that works well.
It includes hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and magnesium — a combination that helps support skin structure and overall wellbeing.
It comes in powder form, which makes it easier to reach the recommended daily amount of collagen.
In my experience, it is a good base option, especially when you want something practical and easy to maintain in your daily routine.
It may not be the most sophisticated product, but it is one of the most balanced.
This is the one most present in my daily routine.
I change brands and formats from time to time, but I always follow the daily amount recommended by the manufacturer.
Not everything is for all the time
This is an important idea I have learned over the years.
Not all supplements are necessary all the time.
There are stages when the body needs specific support, and others when focusing on good nutrition, rest and healthy habits is enough.
The key is to listen to your body and adapt what you take to each moment.
It’s not about accumulating products — it’s about using what you need, when you need it.
Before taking supplements, check whether you really need them
Before starting any supplement, the most sensible step is to have a blood test to see whether there is a real deficiency or specific need.
After that, you can decide whether adding a supplement makes sense.
In my case, I have always taken these products after discussing them with my doctor and deciding what was most appropriate at each stage.
That is what makes the difference between taking something because of trends and taking it with good judgement.
How long should supplements be taken?
Most supplements work over the medium term.
A common approach is to take them for around three months and then reassess whether it makes sense to continue or take a break.
There is no need to take them permanently.
Consistency matters, but so does knowing when to stop.
The key idea to keep in mind
Supplements can help, but they are not a magic solution.
They work best as part of a broader approach: balanced nutrition, rest, hydration and sun protection.
It’s not about taking everything.
It’s about taking the right support at the right time.
And over the years, that judgement is what really makes the difference.
If you think this might help someone, feel free to share it.
