Which vitamins are essential for women?

Some vitamins and minerals deserve a little extra attention when it comes to women. The fact is that a woman's body is different from a man's. For example, vitamin B6 and zinc are important for hormone balance. Because of blood loss during menstruation, women also need more iron than men. Multivitamins for women therefore usually contain a slightly higher dose of iron. Women are also more likely to need extra vitamin D than men as they go through menopause. Vitamins A, C and E are also important for fighting damage caused by free radicals (the cause of aging and many diseases). Vitamin K helps build and maintain strong bones. Finally, magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body, and women are often deficient in it.

Multivitamins for women

Nothing beats fruit and vegetables. A healthy diet is the foundation of a good lifestyle. But sometimes our daily eating habits aren't enough to provide a balanced diet, and taking a multivitamin every day may be recommended.
