Key Nutrients and Their Roles
The ingredient profile goes beyond basic nutrition, featuring premium forms of vitamins and minerals. Here's how each key nutrient contributes to your health, based on EU-authorised health claims:
-
Methylfolate: Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal psychological function. This bioactive form is directly usable by the body, bypassing the need for conversion.
-
Choline: An essential nutrient that contributes to normal lipid metabolism and liver function. Many women may not get enough from diet alone.
-
Vitamin D3 (25 mcg/1000 IU) and Vitamin K2: Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and helps direct calcium to the bones.
-
Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) and Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate): These methylated B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
-
Iron (9 mg): Contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to normal oxygen transport. It also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
-
Selenium and Zinc: Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function and protection of cells from oxidative stress. Zinc contributes to normal immune function and maintenance of healthy skin.
All ingredients are tested for over 125 chemical substances to ensure purity and potency.

Selecting the Right Supplement for Your Needs
Not all multivitamins are created equal. When choosing a supplement for women over 40, consider these factors:
-
Bioavailability: Look for methylated B vitamins (such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin) and chelated minerals, which are more easily absorbed.
-
Targeted Nutrients: Iron is important for premenopausal women, while bone-supporting nutrients like vitamin D and K2 become more important with age.
-
Allergen and Additive Profile: A product free from common allergens and synthetic additives reduces the risk of adverse reactions. This Multivitamin is verified non-GMO and tested for over 125 contaminants.
-
