Our beauty editors discover the two wellness elements essential through every stage in life
In this era of optimal wellness, Helene Ravlich cuts through the noise to discover the two elements deemed essential through every stage of life.
Strip everything back, and two pillars hold it all together: strength and hormonal balance. Supporting both doesn’t call for a full-scale overhaul but rather a series of considered shifts—small, intentional changes to how you eat, move, and supplement—that meet you where you are and evolve with you.
For years, creatine has been unfairly boxed in as the domain of bodybuilders and elite male athletes—something reserved for bulking cycles and post-gym recovery. That misconception has meant many women have missed out on one of the most extensively researched, effective and genuinely female-relevant supplements available.
In reality, creatine is a naturally occurring compound stored primarily in skeletal muscle, where it plays a key role in supporting energy production. Its benefits extend well beyond strength and performance: supporting muscle and brain function including mental clarity and focus, and training quality across the female lifespan. Emerging research also points to helping women feel more resilient throughout all life stages.
Swisse Ultiboost Creatine Powder Unflavoured is a premium quality creatine monohydrate formula designed for ease and simplicity, blending seamlessly into water for optimal support, and taken just once daily during or after a meal. Made from creatine monohydrate, it’s also free from lactose, soy, peanuts, dairy and artificial colours or flavours—keeping the focus firmly on function, without unnecessary additives.
One of the most talked-about—and long overlooked— stages in women’s health, perimenopause is finally beginning to take up the space it deserves. Once treated as a quiet prelude to menopause, it’s now being recognised as a transition in its own right, with a complex spectrum of symptoms that can feel both unfamiliar and destabilising.
In navigating it well, knowledge matters—but so does meaningful, targeted support through nutrition and supplementation.
That’s where formulation becomes key. Premium quality supplements designed specifically for this life stage often combine ingredients that work in synergy: Ashwagandha to soothe tension during periods of change, support mood balance, as well as restful sleep in perimenopausal women. Damiana traditionally used in western herbal practice to support the nervous system, and Nicotinamide to support energy production. Vitamin B5 plays a role in supporting the body’s natural response to stress.
Swisse Ultiboost Perimenopause Balance brings these elements together in a formulation created for women experiencing the shifting landscape of perimenopause— from fluctuating hormones and mood changes to heavier cycles and beyond.
Always read the label and use as directed. Supplementary to and not a replacement for a balanced diet. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Swisse Wellness Pty Ltd, Auckland.
