Key Ingredients for Women's Health
Discover Innate Response Formulae — This multivitamin contains a carefully selected blend of vitamins and minerals, each chosen for its role in women's health:
-
Methylfolate (as L-methylfolate) – The active form of folate that contributes to DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. Unlike folic acid, methylfolate is immediately usable by the body.
-
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) – Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and nerve function. Methylcobalamin is the preferred form for optimum absorption.
-
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate) – Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and protein metabolism, supporting overall health during perimenopause.
-
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) – Contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and to the maintenance of normal bones. 25 mcg (1,000 IU) per serving.
-
Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) – Contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones by directing calcium to bones away from soft tissues.
-
Iron (as ferrous fumarate) – 9 mg to support normal oxygen transport and energy metabolism.
-
Zinc and Selenium – Provide antioxidant support and contribute to normal immune function and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
All nutrients are in forms that the body can readily utilise, minimising digestive stress and maximising benefit.
Potential Benefits for Women Over 40
A well-formulated multivitamin may offer several benefits for women over 40, based on EFSA-approved health claims:
-
Energy Support: B vitamins and iron contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping convert food into cellular energy.
-
Bone Health: Vitamin D3 and K2 play complementary roles in calcium metabolism, contributing to the maintenance of normal bones, especially important as bone density naturally declines with age.
-
Hormonal Balance: Vitamin B6 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, which can help ease symptoms related to perimenopause and hormonal fluctuations.
-
Immune Function: Zinc, selenium, and vitamin D contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
-
Overall Nutrient Gaps: Even with a balanced diet, it can be challenging to get all essential micronutrients. A multivitamin helps fill those gaps.
Remember, supplements are meant to complement a healthy lifestyle, not replace it. With 60 servings per bottle, this multivitamin provides a convenient two-month supply, ensuring consistent support for your wellness journey.
How to Choose the Right Multivitamin for Your Needs
With so many options on the shelf, selecting a multivitamin can feel overwhelming. Here are a few criteria to consider:
-
Age and Life Stage: Women over 40 have different requirements than younger women. Look for formulae that address hormonal shifts, bone density, and energy production.
-
Form of Nutrients: Active forms like methylfolate and methylcobalamin are better absorbed than synthetic versions. Avoid forms like folic acid and cyanocobalamin if you have MTHFR gene variations.
-
Purity and Testing: Independent testing for contaminants ensures you're getting a clean product. Innate Response tests for over 125 chemical substances, including heavy metals and pesticides.
-
Allergen and Dietary Restrictions: This multivitamin is vegetarian, non-GM, gluten-free, and free from the top nine allergens (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soya, wheat, fish, shellfish, sesame).
By choosing a targeted formula like this one, you can fill nutritional gaps without overloading your system with unnecessary or poorly absorbed ingredients.
