What to watch with Nährstoffcheck and menopause?

The MyBody-X Nährstoffcheck analyzes blood or DNA markers for vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. During menopause, hormonal shifts alter nutrient needs: declining estrogen raises osteoporosis risk, making calcium and vitamin D critical. Vitamin B12, magnesium, and iron may also be relevant – iron often decreases after menopause due to cessation of menstruation. However, the test provides only a snapshot, not a diagnosis. Evidence for directly adjusting diet based solely on such tests is limited; many factors like gut health, medications, and lifestyle interact. Moreover, not all markers are clinically validated for menopause. Recommendation: Discuss results with a doctor or dietitian who can interpret them in context. The test can serve as a guide but does not replace medical evaluation. Caveat: Do not self-supplement without professional advice.
