Natural Vitamins & Supplements for Women

What are the best vitamins for women?

Women especially need vitamins and minerals that support healthy bones. Bone loss is a common concern as women get older. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D throughout life can help build up bone strength to help you stay active.* Most multivitamins only include a small amount of calcium, because it can interfere with the absorption of other nutrients, so you may need to take an additional calcium supplement if you don’t get enough calcium in your diet.

Calcium is the most important nutrient for healthy bones, but you also need other nutrients to help your body process calcium correctly. Vitamin D assists with calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 helps direct calcium into your bones and away from soft tissues.* Magnesium helps activate vitamin D and supports healthy bone mineralization.* Our Bone Strength supplement combines plant-based calcium with 9 other nutrients that help support healthy bone density.*

What are the best multivitamins for women?

A good women’s multivitamin should include 20+ vitamins and minerals in meaningful amounts, with most of them at close to 100% of the daily value. (B vitamins can be in higher amounts, while calcium will usually be in a lower amount.) Iron should be included for menstruating women, but is not needed in multivitamins for women 50+.

The best multivitamins for women are made with high quality ingredients that are easy for your body to absorb and use. Look for plant-based vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E from sunflower and magnesium from algae. Important B vitamins such as folate and B12 should be in their active forms for best bioavailability (look for the word “methyl” in the ingredient name).

What vitamins are good for women’s hormones?

B Complex vitamins are very important for women’s reproductive health and endocrine health and can help support hormonal balance.* B vitamins play many roles that influence women’s hormones, including helping the liver to detox and recycle hormones effectively and helping you manage stress, which helps keep high cortisol levels from disrupting your hormonal balance.*

What are good vitamins to take daily for women?

One of the most beneficial daily vitamins for women is vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is important for bone health and immune health, but many women don’t get enough of this vitamin. Vitamin D3 comes primarily from the sun, so even if you have a healthy diet, you can easily run low on vitamin D if you spend most of your time indoors, especially in winter when there is less sun.

B complex vitamins can also be very beneficial for women. They support your energy and metabolism, help support healthy brain function and a healthy stress response, and play an important role in your reproductive and hormonal health.* B vitamins are water-soluble and are not stored in the body long-term, so it’s important to replenish them regularly.
