Vitamin Essentials for Women

It is important to get enough vitamins in your daily diet or supplements no matter what your age or gender. However, women seem to require just a bit more of certain vitamins to help keep them healthy in their busy lives.

Vitamin D is essential for optimal absorption of calcium. As we all know calcium helps protect and strengthen bones which will aid in the fight against osteoporosis. Calcium also helps support the natural sleep pattern and assists in normal blood clotting and nerve function. Also, don't forget your teeth are bones and need calcium, too!

B-complex includes thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate and others. These offer benefits in helping to withstand stress and helps convert food to energy and boosts metabolism. Which in turn promotes skin and muscle tone!

Iron is also incredibly important as more and more women are becoming anemic. Anemia can cause prolonged menstrual periods, childbirth and uterine fibroids. Not to mention feeling tired and weak lack of iron can cause your heart to have to work harder.

Life is demanding enough, give yourself every opportunity to make your body work easier.
