Understanding the unique nutritional needs for women at every stage is crucial for supporting healthy and fulfilling lifestyles.
Key Ingredients for Women’s Health.
Despite the importance of proper nutrition, many women aren’t getting enough of key nutrients in their diet. Getting the right kinds of supplements is therefore more important than ever.
Explore our Solutions that can help.
01
Iron Deficiency and Anemia
Iron deficiency and anemia are the most prevalent nutritional deficiencies in the world, especially among women.
This poses a significant public health concern due to the associated adverse effects on maternal and neonatal birth outcomes – highlighting the urgent need to increase iron levels among this vulnerable population.
02
Prenatal and Fetal Development
Other essential nutrients for women’s health and fetal development are choline and folate. Yet just 7% of adult women (aged 19-50) get enough choline in their diets, and 24% are not getting enough folate.1,2
In the U.S. alone, 16% of Americans do not get enough folate from food and beverages alone,3 while a staggering 83.8% of pregnant women fall short on iron intake from diet alone.4
03
Bone Health
As women age, they’re also at an increased risk of osteoporosis due to hormonal changes that affect bone density, especially after menopause.5
This means nutrients for bone health, such as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and magnesium are important.
Similarly, joint health is another key area of concern for women as they get older. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) can help with this, offering both joint support and skin health benefits.6,7,8,9
