Prawns are an excellent source of the B vitamins including B6, B12 and folate, all of which support healthy hormones. They contain super antioxidant, astaxanthin and key trace minerals, zinc, selenium and iodine, the key mineral for thyroid health.
Scallops are equally rich in the B vitamins and also a great source of omega 3 to offer heart protection for the perimenopause and menopausal years.
