  1. Multi-Vitamins WHAT ARE WOMEN'S MULTI'S? Women’s multi’s are formulated with women’s needs in mind. Men & women have differing health needs and vitamins/mineral ranges; therefore, it’s important to ensure you’re getting a multi that will best support your health as a woman. Women’s nutritional needs are indeed very distinct from those of men and change during menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause. Indeed, a woman's reproductive life means that her nutritional needs differ from those of a man. WHY WOMEN’S MULTI’S? Women’s multi’s are formulated with women’s needs in mind. Men & women have differing health needs and vitamins/mineral ranges; therefore, it’s important to ensure you’re getting a multi that will best support your health as a woman. Women’s nutritional needs are indeed very distinct from those of men and change during menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause. Indeed, a woman's reproductive life means that her nutritional needs differ from those of a man. Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman's menstrual cycle affect her body and mood state. In addition, energy intake is generally higher in the premenstrual phase and some women also have food cravings as menses approaches. As such, it makes perfect sense that multivitamin supplements should reflect the differences between the sexes. BENEFITS of WOMEN’S MULTI’S Bolsters Energy Helps Complete Nutritional Profile Makes up for any Potential Gaps in Nutrition Strengthens Immunity WHO NEEDS A MULTI? Multivitamin and multimineral formulas are the most frequently used supplements in the world, and their popularity has been increasing steadily over the last few decades. While Multis cannot entirely make up for a disastrous diet and consistently lack-lustre food choices, they can however make up for certain nutritional gaps, and thus may be compared to health insurance policies, that help complete our overall nutritional profile. Multis may be recommended to help increase energy, bolster immunity in the cold and flu seasons, in post-convalescence to build up one’s strength, to help build resilience during especially stressful times, for those that simply don’t take the time to cook from scratch and rely too heavily on pre-prepared, pre- packaged foods, as well as to those with gut issues that prevent them from eating a wide range of foods, or who do not absorb nutrients well. This last point is also one of the reasons why multivitamin and multimineral blends can be found in many different formats, ranging from capsules, and tablets, to softgels, liquids, and powdered formulas, each offering its advantages in terms of convenience, affordability, ease of use (i.e. easy to swallow), and bioavailability. CHOOSING THE RIGHT WOMAN’S MULTI FOR YOU Just as it’s important to choose a multivitamin and mineral formula that is adapted to your sexes’ specific needs, it’s just as critical to select one that is adapted to your lifestyle – sedentary, active, or hard training, as well as to your age, since we know that a human’s nutritional needs will vary greatly over the lifespan. For instance, recent research demonstrates that because older adults' abilities to absorb and utilize many nutrients become less efficient, their nutrient requirements (particularly as a function of body mass) increase. This is especially true of vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D, as well as fiber, and essential fatty acids, among many other nutrients.    
