Vitamins and Supplements Every Woman Needs

Vitamins and Supplements Every Woman Needs

As you move through the different stages of life, ensuring you have the ideal balance of nutrients is important for supporting your overall health and well-being. Alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise, including the necessary vitamins and supplements in your daily routine can help you meet your unique nutritional needs.

From supporting bone strength to managing menopause symptoms, there are a wide range of nutrients needed to keep you healthy and feeling your best. Let's explore five key vitamins and supplements that you should consider adding to your daily regime, along with our top-quality products from Naturelo to help meet those needs.

Calcium

Calcium is important for maintaining strong and healthy bones throughout your life. However, as we age, our bone density and strength may decline, making it important to prioritize calcium intake and consider supplementation of this key mineral.1

While calcium is essential for building healthy bones, it requires support from other nutrients to maximize its effectiveness. Naturelo's Bone Strength Plant Calcium Supplement includes 10 vitamins & minerals that work together to support healthy bone building and contribute to the maintenance of bone density.*

Furthermore, the supplement offers a plant-based source of calcium derived from algae, providing superior absorption and bioavailability compared to traditional calcium supplements.

Vitamin D

Often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," because your body produces it when exposed to sunlight, vitamin D is important for immune support, muscle functioning, and mood support. Additionally, vitamin D helps your body to absorb calcium for strong, healthy bones and teeth.2

Many women may not get enough of this key vitamin, especially those who live in regions with limited sunlight exposure or those who spend most of their time indoors. Naturelo's Vitamin D3 supplement offers a potent dose of vitamin D sourced from natural lanolin, helping to maintain optimal levels and support overall health and well-being.* 

Iron

Iron is needed for the production of red blood cells and oxygen transport throughout the body. Women are particularly at risk of having low iron levels due to menstruation and pregnancy. In fact, it is estimated that around 35% of women in the US are iron deficient which can lead to fatigue, weakness, headaches, and brain fog.3

Naturelo's Iron with Vitamin C includes a blend of organic whole foods with naturally occurring iron, like beet, spinach, kale, organic chard, and pumpkin, for plant-based iron complete with its natural nutritional cofactors intact. Additionally, the supplement combines iron with vitamin C for enhanced absorption, making it an ideal choice for addressing low iron levels.*

Magnesium

Magnesium is needed to support over 300 biochemical reactions in your body, including energy production, muscle function, and nerve signaling.4 During menopause, magnesium is especially important for healthy bones, sleep quality, and mood support. 

Many women are falling short of the recommended amounts of this important nutrient. Some studies have found that half of the total US population may be magnesium deficient as our diets are lacking in magnesium-rich foods including whole grains, green, leafy vegetables, and nuts and seeds.5

Naturelo’s Menopause Support delivers magnesium and traditional herbs like ashwagandha, chaste berry, black cohosh, and red clover to support hormonal balance and ease menopausal symptoms.*

Vitamin C

 

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. However, your body does not make Vitamin C or store it for later use, so you need to consume it regularly through your diet or through supplementation.

 

While you may get an adequate amount of vitamin C from eating fruits and vegetables, supplementation may be beneficial when your diet falls short or during times of increased stress or illness. Naturelo's Vitamin C with Acerola Cherry fruit extract delivers 

500 mg of vitamin C in just one capsule for a convenient boost of this important nutrient.

The Bottom Line

Incorporating essential vitamins and supplements into your daily routine can help ensure that you're meeting your body's unique nutritional needs and supporting optimal health and well-being. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.

With Naturelo's high-quality products and a balanced approach to nutrition and supplementation, you can feel confident in your journey towards optimal health.
