Best Vitamins For Women: Here's Our Top Picks

International Womens Day lands on the 8th of March every year. Although it was only recognised by the United Nations in 1975, the earliest version of International Women’s Day has been said to originate to as far back as 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York demanding better pay, shorter hours and voting rights (1). Since then, many countries including Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, began acknowledging days to campaign for women’s rights and celebrate their successes (1).

These movements highlight the importance of recognising the achievements of women and empowering equality and challenge discrimination and bias for a better future. It is also a day to acknowledge the significant impact of practicing women’s wellness and how it affects their day to day lives.

When we think of women, we tend to think of outside beauty. However, our external beauty reflects our inner beauty and missing vitamins can greatly impact both. Daily vitamins can help to clear our skin, support our immune health and help hormone changes. So, what vitamins are best for women and why?

This article focuses on the best supplements for women to ensure you are receiving the right vitamins and minerals.

Here’s everything you need to know.

UTRelief

More than 50% of women suffer from urinary tract infections with over 25% of them being susceptible to recurring episodes (2,3).

Our newest addition to our wellness range is UTRelief capsules, designed to support women’s health from within. It is a unique blend of 200mg of Ellirose, a flower extract involved in studies relating to UTI (4,5), 80mg or vitamin C powder and 400mg of cranberry extract which gives the capsules its unique purple colour. Plus, it’s suitable for vegans!

Hormone Balance

We understand that hormone levels can vary throughout the month, and it can be difficult to go through mood changes and periods of low energy levels and in some conditions such as PCOS, hormone imbalances are greater.

Our Hormone Balance capsules are a convenient and vegetarian-friendly way to help stabilise hormone levels, including zinc which promote normal fertility (6) and folic acid which is known to increase folate status (7). This expert formulation also contains CoQ10 an ingredient often included in fertility products and vitamin B6 which helps with the regulation of hormonal activity.

Evening Primrose Oil

Enriched with vitamin E and linoleic acid, our Evening Primrose Oil softgels are a plant-based source which support our cells from ageing and oxidative damage, especially when we are exposed to harmful environments.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that promotes healthy cells by fighting free radicals (9).

Menosure

For many menopause can be a distressing time, where women’s menstrual cycle stops due to lower hormone levels, usually occurring between the ages for 45 and 55 (10). During menopause, women often go through changes in mood, anxiousness, hot flushes, headaches, reduced libido and many other symptoms (11).

Our Menosure capsules are a unique blend of vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts to promote women’s wellness from within. Each capsule is packed with vitamin B6 to help regulate hormonal function (12) as well as vitamin B12 to prevent fatigue and tiredness (13) and vitamin D3 to support with bone health and cardiovascular health (14,15).

Multivitamin Gummies

Myvitamins Multivitamin Gummies are a tasty, strawberry-flavoured gummy made from a unique form of 10 essential vitamins and minerals needed to support your body and are a must-have in your everyday routine.

Blending vitamins A, C and D together to support the maintenance of your skin (1) and bones (2), and iodine to encourage your cognitive function (3), these gummies are expertly designed for daily use to keep you feeling healthy internally and externally.

Gut Gummies

Myvitamins Gut Gummies are a delicious and convenient way to support your internal health. Formulated so that each gummy contains 1 billion live cultures, as well as 40mg of vitamin C, these gummies are perfect to meet your lifestyle goals.

Including coagulants to promote and ease intestinal digestion and vitamin C to help reduce tiredness and fatigue (4), Gut Gummies also contribute to your normal psychological function (5) and help protect your cells from oxidative stress (6).

Retinol (Vitamin A)

Growing in popularity, retinol is a key beauty ingredient and is often found in beauty products that are used to replace dead and unhealthy skin with new cells.

Perfect for your skincare routine, retinol is clinically proven to help maintain normal skin (7) and support your immune system (8). Retinol also encourages inflammation reduction and is often used for cystic acne.

Collagen Gummies

Important for movement and flexibility in the skin, collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, giving a ‘plump and bouncy’ look to the skin and providing strength and elasticity to tendons and ligaments.

Our Collagen Gummies are a tasty, pomegranate flavour, made up of 500mg marine collagen and 1200 ug retinol per serving. With added vitamin C, these gummies are perfect for collagen formation (9), your immune system (10) and cognitive health (11).

Fish Oil

Fish oils contain a type of fatty acids called omegas – the most known are omega 3, 6 and 9. These types of fats are a ‘healthy’ fat and play a huge role in your cardiovascular health. Used to help skin dryness, brittle hair and nails, fish oil is essential in your daily routine.

Myvitamins Cod Liver Oil Softgels are a perfect and easy way to get fish oil into your diet. A unique formula to support the health of your heart and blood pressure (12), they are a high-quality source of omega 3, vitamin A and vitamin D3.

Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, hyaluronic acid is mostly found in our skin, with over 50% of our body’s production being stored in our skin cells. Hydration of the skin relies on hyaluronic acid, and without it, our skin can become dry and irritated.

Biotin
