All vitamins and minerals are important for overall health and wellness, and in best-case scenarios, you can get the required daily intake from the foods you eat. Focusing on a diet full of fruits, vegetables, lean protein and dairy, healthy fats, etc. will go a long way in protecting your body from deficiencies. But medication side effects, poor diet, and chronic conditions are factors that make it necessary for dietary supplements. Not every woman may need to take every single one of these products; however, it comes down to personal lifestyle and eating habits that determine what your body may need from supplementation. With that in mind, take a look at some of the best daily supplements for women’s health:
Probiotics
What are probiotics? These living microorganisms create and support the healthy bacteria in the gut, weeding out harmful bacteria and toxins and encouraging your body’s natural immune response. If you don’t eat a lot of fermented foods, a probiotic supplement could be a good choice. The bacteria strains found in Thorne Women’s Daily Probiotic not only support gut health but also vaginal and urinary health. Nudora Probiotic is another product that aids in digestion and can also be beneficial in weight loss and inflammation reduction.
Omega-3s
EPA and DHA are fatty acids called Omega-3s, which are derived from fish oil. The benefits of Omega-3s range from heart health and brain function to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The Thorne Omega Superb liquid formula is a smooth, non-oily texture with a great taste naturally flavored by monk fruit extract, providing a potent dose in just 1 teaspoon.
Vitamin D
Many adults may be deficient in Vitamin D and not even realize it! Symptoms can be subtle and develop slowly, but you can find out whether you need Vitamin D supplements from a simple blood test. Our Vitamin D3K2 supplement is a powerful combination of Vitamins D and K, which work in synergy throughout the body, from bone health and calcium absorption to blood vessel function and optimal blood flow.
Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and plays a role in a wide range of functions, from chemical reactions to nerve and muscle function, blood sugar and blood pressure control, and so much more. Our Tri-Mag Neuro supplement contains Albion®’s TRAACS® magnesium lysinate glycinate and Albion’s chelated dimagnesium malate designed for better absorption.
Iron
Another common deficiency in women is iron. This mineral is responsible for allowing blood to take oxygen throughout the body, as well as hormone production and cell growth for connective tissues. You may want to ask your doctor about taking iron if you are a vegetarian, eat a plant-based diet, have heavy periods, or are pregnant. Our gentle iron supplement is formulated to be both highly absorbable and gentle on the body.
Folate (Vitamin B9)
In addition to iron, folate is especially important for a healthy pregnancy in women. Vitamin B9 encourages healthy DNA production, and for pregnancy, it’s crucial for fetal brain and spinal cord development. Many folate supplements also include other B vitamins like B6 and B12 for a more comprehensive product. It’s also an ingredient you should look for in Prenatal Nutrients.
