Women’s Health Supplements
We all know life can get busy sometimes.
Maintaining a diet that is nutritionally dense when you’re constantly trying to
balance work, family and friends can be challenging.
Here are some important vitamins and
minerals for women’s health.
Iron
Iron is a mineral
that helps create haemoglobin – a compound that carries oxygen in blood in red
blood cells. It is essential for healthy blood and energy production in the
body. Women require up to 18mg of iron daily (10mg more than men).
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an
important nutrient for women’s health. It aids the absorption of calcium and is
required for healthy bones and teeth as
it helps maintain bones density and bone strength. Inadequate exposure to
sunlight, e.g. working indoors or living in wintery conditions can inhibit vitamin
D absorption.
B Vitamins
Vitamin B refers
to a group of eight different vitamins which play a crucial role in converting
food into energy in the body. B vitamins (often referred to as B-Complex
vitamins) are water soluble, meaning your body does not generally store them,
which is why your daily diet must contain these vitamins.
Magnesium
Magnesium is
important for cellular energy production. It is involved in over 300 enzyme
reactions in the body and is essential for the metabolism of calcium and
phosphorus.
Maintaining a balanced and nutritionally
dense diet can help prevent deficiencies.
