Key Ingredients and Their Roles
Understanding what goes into your daily multivitamin helps you make informed choices. Alive! Ultra Multivitamin for Women contains a carefully selected range of nutrients and plant-based blends to support women's health. Here's a closer look at the key ingredients:
-
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol): Essential for normal immune function and bone health. Most women in the UK may have low levels, especially during winter.
-
Methylated B12 and B-Complex: B vitamins, including B6, folate, and riboflavin, contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Methylated forms (methylcobalamin and methylfolate) are readily used by the body.
-
Vitamin C and Zinc: Both contribute to normal immune function and collagen formation for skin health.
-
Iron: Contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, especially important for menstruating women.
-
Plant-Based Blends: Seven unique blends—Cardio, Daily Greens, Hair Skin & Nails, Mushroom Defence, and Digestive Enzymes—provide concentrated phytonutrients and enzymes to complement the core vitamins.
Every ingredient is chosen for its bioavailability and effectiveness. This one-tablet-a-day formula is gluten-free and free from artificial colours.
FAQ: Common Questions About Women's Multivitamins
Q: Can I take this multivitamin on an empty stomach?
A: It is best taken with food to enhance absorption and minimise any chance of stomach upset.
Q: Is this suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
A: This product is not specifically formulated for pregnancy. Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Q: How does methylated B12 differ from regular B12?
A: Methylated B12 (methylcobalamin) is the active form, so it does not need conversion. This can be particularly beneficial for those with MTHFR gene variants who may find it harder to activate standard B12.
Q: Are these tablets easy to swallow?
A: The tablets are moderate in size. If you have difficulty, try taking them with food or break them in half.
