A note on all of this
General wellbeing, not medical advice.
My SZN writes about living well through a season. Nothing here diagnoses, treats or prevents illness, and nothing replaces care from a qualified professional.
Please speak to a GP, pharmacist, midwife or registered dietitian before starting a supplement — especially during pregnancy, alongside medication, with an existing condition, or for a child. If low mood or exhaustion is persistent, that's a GP conversation. Samaritans are on 116 123, free, at any hour.
