Women's vitality supplements support energy, mood and comfort through the monthly cycle and the years around menopause. They suit working moms, women in their thirties who feel run down and women in their late forties and fifties going through hormonal changes.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, and vitamins B6 and B12 help reduce tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and to normal muscle function, which many women value during their period.
Food sources are close at hand: eggs, fish, chicken, bananas, monggo and leafy greens such as malunggay and kangkong.
Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Women lose iron every month, so liver, red meat, monggo and dark greens are worth keeping on the menu. Vitamin C from kalamansi or guava helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, which is why it appears in many formulas for women.
Chasteberry (vitex), evening primrose oil, soy isoflavones and red clover are classic plant ingredients in women's formulas. They are traditionally used to support comfort during the cycle and the transition into menopause.
Good sleep, time outdoors, regular movement and calcium-rich food complete the picture, especially after forty.
Some plant extracts may interact with hormonal medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
Only take products your OB-GYN approves during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Many herbal formulas are not meant for that time.
Some plant ingredients are traditionally used for comfort during menopause. A supplement is not a medicine; strong or unusual symptoms are a reason to see a doctor.
