Impact of Supplementation in Improving Metabolic Health Outcomes (ISMOS)

As women approach the menopausal transition, they often face health challenges like weight gain, a higher risk of conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, mood changes, and accelerated loss of muscle and bone. Vitamins play a positive, supportive role during this period in maintaining metabolism, energy and overall health. Deficiencies in key vitamins like D, B12, and folate can worsen these issues. Proper vitamin supplementation may help women better manage this life transition and reduce related health risks.

What does A*STAR IHDP hope to do?
