A full and balanced diet is what all our bodies need. Women’s bodies require a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to maintain optimal health. Many of us are not able to get all necessary nutrients from our diets, due to poor eating habits, a busy and demanding lifestyle, or even limitations inherent in our available foods. Many foods found in our modern diets are nutrient depleted, which makes vitamin and mineral supplements important for all types of people.

Choosing Vitamin/Mineral Supplements
With so many dietary supplements to choose from, it’s important for women to know what their bodies need so that they can make an informed decision. The first thing to remember is that vitamin, mineral, herbal, and other health supplements are not a substitute for any medication or doctor’s guidance. It is important to check with your doctor before taking supplements because some can be harmful if you have certain health problems.
Multivitamin/Mineral Supplements
An easy way to get the nutrients your body needs is to take a daily high-quality multivitamin/mineral supplement. However, you need to make sure you don’t overdo it, as there are potential risks associated with taking too much of certain vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements. The best way to avoid overdosing is to read and follow the directions on the supplement’s label. Women should select a multivitamin or mineral supplement specifically designed for their nutritional needs. It is also important to select a multivitamin that is highly absorbent, as these are more powerful and effective than traditional mass manufactured multivitamins.
Multivitamin/Mineral Considerations
High Nutritional Value: Be sure to check the nutritional content of multivitamin supplements to ensure good nutrition content for promoting optimal health. It is especially important that they include essential nutrients that are lacking from your daily diet.
Ultra Potent: Select a multivitamin that contains only high-quality natural vitamins and minerals that your body can easily absorb. Some of these powerful ingredients are called 'super green foods,' such as spirulina, chlorella, and green barley.
Easy Absorption: It is important that a multivitamin is easy for your body to absorb so that you actually get the benefits of the ingredients. Multivitamins with natural enzymes such as bromelain and papain help with absorption.
Natural: The best multivitamins contain only high-quality, all natural ingredients. High-quality multivitamins should not have unnecessary additives, fillers, colors, or dyes. They should also not contain common food allergens such as wheat, dairy, corn, soy, etc.
Balance: When you choose multivitamins make sure they are a balanced daily formula, especially if blended. It is important that the ingredients work harmoniously. Adding a protein shake and a fish oil capsule to your daily diet can also be good for your health.
Safety
It is important to check with your doctor before taking supplements if you are on any medication, if you are expecting a baby, or if you are lactating. Your doctor can advise you on safe prenatal vitamins to take. This can help avoid any potential negative interactions.
