Women's Health
Women's nutritional needs shift across life stages — from the menstrual cycle to pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause — and can require particular attention to iron, calcium and certain plant-based substances among others. This category gathers supplements especially relevant in these contexts, formulated with women's physiology as the starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Do nutritional needs change during menopause?
Yes, among other things the need for calcium and certain plant-based substances can increase alongside hormonal changes during this period.
Do all menstruating women need iron supplements?
Not automatically — needs vary with bleeding volume and diet. If iron deficiency is suspected, levels should be checked by a doctor before starting supplements.
Are supplements safe during pregnancy?
Some are specifically formulated for pregnancy and breastfeeding, but all supplements should always be checked with a midwife or doctor during this period.
