Nourishing Every Stage in a Lifelong Journey to Wellness
A woman’s health journey is a lifelong evolution, shaped by changing hormones, shifting needs, and unique challenges at every stage. From adolescence to post-menopause, one thing remains constant: the power of nutrition. When paired with regular movement, self-care, and proactive checkups, a nutrient-rich lifestyle becomes the foundation of lifelong vitality.
While a healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise, balanced meals and routine checkups, the importance of proper nutrition and supplementation can’t be overstated. Taking time for self-care and being proactive about wellness can make all the difference.
Building a Strong Foundation
A solid foundation for lifelong health often begins with the basics: a high-quality multivitamin designed to bridge nutritional gaps. During the reproductive years and into mid-life, many women benefit from supplements that help support hormonal balance and replenish essential nutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin D.
Vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients derived from food sources are believed to be better absorbed and more bioavailable than nutrients from nonfood sources. A multivitamin such as Women’s One Daily Whole Food Multi offers more than just the basics. It is non-GMO, vegan, derived from an organic whole food complex blend and tailored to women's unique health needs across different stages of life.†
Bone Support Plus Algae-Based Minerals is a vegan-approved formula utilizing Aquamin® mineralized red algae from the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland. It is rich in calcium, magnesium and over 72 trace minerals to support bone mineralization processes. It is designed to provide structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†
Women of all ages should take special care of their heart and circulation too. Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in supporting cardiovascular health. A supplement like Omega-3 Fish Oil Enteric Coated offers a concentrated dose of essential fatty acids, sourced from purified marine lipids. For gut health and immune balance, Extra Strength Probiotic delivers beneficial microorganisms that help maintain a healthy digestive system and may even support mood.†
Thriving During the Reproductive Years
The reproductive years are filled with both physical and emotional changes, and a deeper awareness of health and nutrition is essential during this phase. Working closely with health care providers and making informed nutritional choices can enhance overall well-being.
Iron becomes especially important during this stage for energy, immune function and healthy red blood cell production. Iron 25 mg with B12 and Folate features the gentle, bioavailable Ferrochel® form of iron, paired with vitamin B12 and folic acid for added support.†
Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause
As women enter perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can bring about new challenges — hot flashes, disrupted sleep and mood changes among them. Nutrition remains a key player in managing symptoms and promoting resilience during this transition.
Black Cohosh Plus is a natural herbal remedy often used to help ease menopausal discomfort.† For a more comprehensive approach, Menopause Support includes a synergistic blend of black cohosh, soy, red clover and B-complex vitamins to help balance hormones while supporting overall well-being.†
Empowering Wellness Through Every Stage
Choosing supplements specifically formulated for women’s health can be a game changer. By focusing on the right nutrients at the right times, women can support their bodies, maintain balance and feel their best — whether they’re managing monthly cycles, navigating motherhood or embracing the changes that come with age.
At the heart of it all? Self-care, intentional choices and a commitment to wellness. A nutrient-rich diet, movement you enjoy and quality supplements are powerful tools in crafting a vibrant, healthy life at any age.
