Key Ingredients for Women Over 50
Discover Solgar Daily Women'S — This multivitamin has been designed with a targeted blend of nutrients to address the changing needs of women in their 50s and beyond:
-
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol): Plant-derived vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain normal bones. It also plays a role in normal immune function.*
-
Folate (as L-5-MTHF): The active form of folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, supporting cardiovascular health. Combined with vitamin E, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress.*
-
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin): Methylcobalamin is a bioactive form of B12 that contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal nervous system function, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue.*
-
Biotin and Silica (from organic bamboo): Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails. Silica supports the structure of connective tissues.*
-
B-Vitamin Complex: Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, and pantothenic acid all play roles in normal energy metabolism and psychological function, helping the body cope with daily pressures.*
Each ingredient is chosen for its absorbability and relevance to women's health after 50.
What Makes Solgar One Daily Women's Multi 50+ Different?

How to Choose a Multivitamin for Your 50s and Beyond
Not all multivitamins are the same. When selecting a supplement for this stage of life, consider these points:
-
Form of nutrients: Look for active forms like methylated B vitamins and chelated minerals for better absorption.
-
Dosage: Ensure key nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium are present at meaningful levels. This formula provides 100% or more of the NRV for 18 vitamins and minerals.
-
Allergen and dietary needs: Many women prefer vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO options. This product meets those criteria.
-
Third-party testing: Certifications like non-GMO Project Verified add confidence in purity and quality.
A multivitamin should complement a balanced diet, not replace it. Consult your health care provider to determine if this formula aligns with your individual needs.
