The recommended daily intakes differ in most cases for men and women. Therefore, multivitamin preparations for women are tailored to these needs.
The secret to women's multivitamin formulations lies in the extra ingredients added, such as coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid, and extracts of various herbs.
Coenzyme Q10 (KoQ10, also known as ubiquinone) plays a role in the most basic energy process, respiration. As oxygen is released into the blood, cellular respiration (the citric acid cycle) is initiated, a process that takes place in the mitochondria, a small organelle within the cell. This is where coenzyme Q10 plays a key role. Confirming this, a number of diseases - heart failure, fibromyalgia, muscle diseases, diabetes, neurological diseases - have been linked to a reduction in KoQ10 levels. In addition, studies have reported that it can also improve physical performance during exercise. As you get older, KoQ10 levels decrease, which can cause fatigue and inadequate energy intake increases the risk of infertility, so KoQ10 supplementation is particularly important in ageing women. A nutritional supplement to keep you healthy, fit and fertile.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) also plays a role in energy production in the mitochondria (the citric acid cycle) and has antioxidant effects. ALA has also been used to treat radioactivity-induced wounds, has been shown to have antioxidant effects, has been shown to be effective in recovery from oxygen deprivation (ischaemia) and may also improve type 2 diabetes. It may also be beneficial for weight loss due to its ability to help a fat-burning enzyme (pyruvate dehydrogenase), which has been supported by research.
We also offer a multivitamin specifically for women, which contains plenty of powdered fruit and vegetables, broadening the spectrum of anti-free radical effects.
