Are Boots’ new TikTok-inspired low-cost supplements any good? A nutrition expert weighs in

‘The key ingredients are vitamin C, B12 and D3. Benefits include supporting immune function, energy metabolism and bone health, which is crucial for women who are perimenopausal, have busy lifestyles or limited sun exposure. Those with dark skin may require higher doses of vitamin D, so it’s worth consulting with your GP for advice.’

‘The key ingredients are vitamin C, Biotin and Zinc. Some benefits include promoting radiant skin, strong nails and healthy hair, which is ideal for addressing beauty concerns from within. However, what I would add is that supplementing with Biotin is most effective when there is a deficiency. In otherwise healthy individuals, the benefits are likely to be modest and often part of a broader formula with other nutrients.’

‘The key ingredients are vitamin B complex, vitamins A, D and E. The benefits include enhancing energy levels, reducing fatigue, supporting women managing work, family and hormonal shifts. vitamin B complex is essential for normal body function and supplementation is most beneficial for those with poor diets, high stress levels, older adults or certain medical conditions – but won’t provide any additional benefit if you’re already getting enough from food.’

‘The key ingredients are Lion’s Mane extract, vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid and zinc. Lion’s Mane extract is a medicinal fungus (mushroom) known for its potential cognitive and neurological benefits. This can be especially important in promoting mental clarity in women experiencing brain fog, especially during perimenopause.’

‘The key ingredient is Biotin (5000 µg). The benefits of biotin are that it supports hair strength and growth, addressing hair thinning common in postpartum and menopausal women. However, what I would add is that supplementing with Biotin is most effective when there is a deficiency. In otherwise healthy individuals, the benefits are likely to be modest and often part of a broader formula with other nutrients.’

‘The key ingredients are apple cider vinegar, vitamin C and chromium. ACV has been used for centuries but we have recently seen a resurgence in popularity due to its reported benefits on helping with blood sugar regulation and metabolism, supporting weight management and skin health.’
