Folic Acid (FA-8). Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin with vital roles in heart and nervous system health. While folic acid is found in a variety of foods (mainly legumes and dark green veggies) it is often altered or destroyed through cooking. Supplementation with folic acid is recommended for all women with a possibility of conceiving, as a deficiency of this vitamin during early pregnancy dramatically increases risk of neural tube defects. Iron (Fe-20). For most of us, this is a given. If you have reached womanhood (biologically speaking) you are either losing blood 2-7 days each month or pregnant, both of which increase your iron needs. Researchers have found that iron supplementation during pregnancy is both safe and effective in maintaining iron levels. In addition, iron supplementation in adolescent girls is supported by multiple studies, including one that demonstrated improved mental function. Your need for iron is especially high if you eat very little red meat or experience extremely heavy flow during menstruation. Diindolylmethane (DIM). A phytonutrient found in small amounts in cruciferous vegetables. In the latter decades of the 1900s a host of studies examined the impact of the DIM precursor, indole-3-carbinol (I3C), on estrogen metabolism and observed positive effects. Calcium (Cal-Citrate). Though it is involved in numerous physiological processes, calcium is most widely known for its importance to maintaining healthy bones. Adequate calcium throughout life may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, and this is especially important for women. Estrogen is a major regulator of proper bone remodeling, and the plummet in estrogen levels that occurs after menopause results in an increase of bone resorption (breakdown). Thus, it is vital that women intake sufficient calcium to build bones prior to menopause (RDA 1000 mg/day) and to help compensate for the increase in bone turnover after menopause (1200 mg/day). Omega-3 fatty acids (Omega Oil). Achieving an appropriate ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids supports several aspects of physical health. The typical Western diet contains high levels of inflammation-promoting omega-6s and are deplete in inflammation-combating omega-3s, leading to a distortion in physiological fatty acid balance. Correcting this balance by diet or supplementation may help fight widespread physiological inflammation and lead to improvements in heart health, body weight maintenance efforts, mood, and skin health. Unless your diet contains plentiful seafood, however, diet alone may not be enough. The omega-3 fatty acids in many foods (eggs, nuts, vegetable oils) are present as alpha-linolenic acid which is converted in the body to the biologically active forms, DHA and EPA. Studies have found that our bodies have become less efficient at this biotransformation, but fortunately this problem is easily solved. Just make sure to choose an omega-3 supplement that directly provides EPA and DHA, the active and ready-to-go forms! D-Mannose. Mannose is a sugar with proven benefits to urinary tract health. Mannose binds to potentially harmful bacteria that would otherwise bind to urinary tract walls, allowing it to be flushed out in urine. And last, but certainly not least: Vitamin D3 (D3-5). Vitamin D, which many know as the sunshine vitamin, is just as (if not MORE) essential to your body than vitamin C, vitamin A, etc. Unlike these other vitamins, however, we obtain D through foods in scarce amounts that don’t even come close to meeting our requirements. Throughout history, mankind has met the body’s vitamin D needs by doing daily what many of us long for during the workweek and only achieve on vacations and some weekends…… getting some sun. Between the hours of 10am and 2pm, When the UVB rays from the sun contact skin it activates physiochemical reactions that convert an inactive, useless form of vitamin D to the form we need to maintain healthy bones, immunity, and so much more. This form is 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, a metabolite of cholecalciferol, widely known as vitamin D3. In past decades (or centuries), this was enough. The sad reality today is that most people simply do not spend enough time in the sun, and therefore do not produce enough vitamin D3. Multiple reports state that most people in the US are either insufficient or deficient in vitamin D3, and this trend has been associated with the widespread increase of several health issues. I know this sounds bleak, but do not despair! Research has also shown that taking adequate doses of supplemental D3 raises the levels vitamin D in your body to meet recommendations. |
