Verifiable Science

Women's Nutrients provides vitamins and minerals needed to support the needs of women of childbearing age, including women who are pregnant, may become pregnant or are lactating.^1,2 It’s best to consider using this formula along with EPA/DHA. This formula provides 1 mg of Metafolin^® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) to support optimal neural and cellular development. Metafolin^® is a naturally occurring, universally metabolized form of folate.^3-5 The vitamin D included in our formula comes from an algae-derived vegan source. Women’s Nutrients also includes vitamin K to support healthy carboxylation of proteins for blood-clotting and bone health.⁵ The iron (27 mg) in our formula promotes optimal iron status and supports cognitive function.^7,8 Optimal iron status is also associated with athletic performance and mitochondrial function.^9,10 Choline (100 mg) is included in our formula because it contributes to neurotransmitter production, DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, energy metabolism and fetal central nervous system development.¹¹
