Hormone Balance Vitamins. My Current Supplement Stack: What I’m Trying Right Now

When Your Counter Looks Like a Mini Pharmacy

Between PCOS, hormone chaos, and motherhood fatigue, my supplement lineup could easily rival a small wellness boutique. But instead of chasing quick fixes, I treat it like a living experiment - observing what helps, what doesn’t, and what simply makes me feel more like myself.

My Current Stack (and Why)

☀️ Daytime

1️⃣ Women’s Daily Multivitamin

The baseline that keeps everything else in check. It covers the essentials - B-vitamins for energy, iron for cycle support, and minerals my diet inevitably misses. I’ve learned that even with a balanced diet, a solid multivitamin can fill nutritional gaps that make a big difference in energy and focus.

2️⃣ Myo + D-Chiro Inositol

My go-to for hormonal balance and PCOS support. It’s helped even out my blood sugar and clear some of the fog that used to live rent-free in my brain. Fewer mental crashes, fewer “why did I walk into this room again?” moments.

3️⃣ DIM (Diindolylmethane)

DIM helps the body process estrogen more efficiently - a huge win for anyone dealing with hormone fluctuations from PCOS, perimenopause, or postpartum recovery. It supports estrogen metabolism, which in turn helps with mood stability, skin clarity, and less hormonal bloat. I take it with breakfast so it’s absorbed alongside healthy fats.

4️⃣ Vitamin D3

It’s sunshine in capsule form - and my body thanks me for it. D3 supports mood, energy, immune health, and bone strength (all things my 40s have made me pay more attention to). I take it mid-morning with food to help with absorption, especially on days when I’m inside more than I’d like.

🌙 Nighttime

4️⃣ Magnesium Glycinate + Zinc

My evening heroes. Magnesium calms my nervous system and helps me wind down; zinc supports repair and hormone function overnight. Falling asleep has become easier - staying asleep is still hit or miss, but it’s a work in progress.

5️⃣ Quercetin

My anti-inflammatory sidekick. It’s a bioflavonoid that supports immunity, allergies, and overall inflammation control. I take it at night because it pairs well with my calming supplements and feels like a quiet reset for my system.

How I Track Progress

Instead of expecting miracles, I look for patterns: better sleep, calmer moods, less inflammation. Healing, especially with hormones involved, is slow science. Paying attention is half the work - and right now, I’m noticing small but steady shifts.

I jot quick notes in my phone when something changes (sleep, mood, skin, energy). It helps me connect the dots without spiraling into “is it working?” territory every week. Also, 100% why I started this blog - so that I can better track.

Real Talk

Supplements aren’t magic; they’re support.

And for the record - I’m not a doctor (or pretending to be one), but I did do a ton of research so I could make a plan that made sense for me, then ran it by my doctor.

I’ve learned that timing and consistency matter as much as the capsule itself - hence my “day” and “night” stacks. My body is evolving, so it makes sense that my supplement shelf would too.

And honestly? The most annoying part of this whole routine isn’t taking the vitamins - it’s organizing them. My vitamin case has become my new morning nemesis. Every Sunday I tell myself it’s “five minutes of prep,” and an hour later I’m still counting capsules like a distracted pharmacist. But without it, I’d spend all week wondering, Did I already take that? (Answer: probably. Maybe. Who knows.)
