5 Nutrients Women Need Most
We all live very busy lives. Whether it's rushing around at home, or work, or after the kids, it's not always easy to keep track of what we are eating but vitamins and minerals are essential to a women’s overall health and can be a real game-changer when it comes to our mood and energy levels throughout the day. †
But, unless we are paying strict attention to our diets, it's extremely difficult to get adequate nutrition from food alone. Even if you do eat healthy, modern conventional farming methods have stripped the soil bare of micronutrients. And, if you exercise regularly essential minerals like magnesium are lost by sweating. That's why it's really important to supplement these five nutrients everyday. †
Here's the five nutrients women need most to live healthy, vibrant lives. †
1.) Iron
Women are much more likely to suffer from an iron deficiency than men and in fact, it's the most common deficiency in women worldwide. (1)
Thanks to our menstrual cycles, women lose iron through the blood every month and therefore have iron requirements over double that of men.
Signs of an iron deficiency include pale skin, dizziness, and fatigue.
VitaMineral Complete 2.0 includes an organic form of iron called, Ferrochel®, that's been shown to be more bioavailable and causes less gastric issues. It's also been shown to be safer, does not interact with other nutrients and is more stable than other forms of inorganic iron. †
2.) Folate (Vitamin B9)
The recommended daily amount of folate for women is 400 mcg per day, but during pregnancy anywhere between 400 and 800 mcg is advised. This is to help avoid pregnancy problems such as neural tube defects and premature births. Folate is naturally found in dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, and wholegrain breads.
However, it can be really challenging for women to reach adequate folic levels through the diet alone and that's why we've included the most bioavailable form of folate, Quatrefolic®, in our VitaMineral Complete 2.0, because the body can't use folic acid by itself, it has to be converted first.
So, even if you are getting adequate amounts of folate from the food you're eating, it must be converted before it's absorbed by your body. Quatrefolic® bypasses the conversion process needed inside the body for immediate absorption and utilization, which is especially important for those with the MTHFR gene mutation. †
3.) Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-12 has been discussed a lot recently due to the rise of plant-based diets. This is because Vitamin B-12 is found primarily in animal products such as meat, cheese, milk, and eggs. Vegetarians and especially vegans are at a higher risk of developing a B-12 deficiency, but in fact many people on regular diets suffer from a B-12 deficiency without even knowing it. Vitamin B12 may benefit your body in impressive ways, like boosting your energy, improving your memory and mood.
VitaMineral Complete 2.0 provides a complete balance of B vitamins, including vitamin B12 as MecobalActive®, for optimal absorption and deliverability for increased energy, good digestion and healthy brain function. †
4, 5.) Vitamin D and Calcium
Vitamin D and calcium are like Bonnie and Clyde. They work best together. Working synergistically, they help to protect and maintain strong and healthy bones. Getting adequate levels of vitamin D and calcium every day can help boost weight loss and can even reduce depression. (2,3)
Unfortunately, many women fall short of these recommendations and heighten their risk of developing a deficiency. Calcium deficiencies often have no early symptoms and so are difficult to detect without being tested. Our brand-new second generation multivitamin and mineral complex VitaMineral Complete 2.0 includes the most active forms of both vitamin D and calcium. †
