any multi vitamin with minerals will do. the b vitamins and magnesium are the most important. i buy the drugstore brand of centrum silver since i don't need the iron. my understanding is that the vitamin be water soluble. it might say it on the lable. also taking omega 3 in either fish oil or flaxseed oil is supposed to help maintain heart health and may have some effect on mood. hope this helps. God bless you

hi lily. you may be able to find a supplement specially made for menopause, which contains all the necessary stuff recommended. that's what i take, with the addition of a fish oil capsule. i live in england though, so maybe it's different where you live, and the ones i take are an own-brand one from a pharmacy chain. hope this helps.
