Natural womens supplements are the best way of ensuring that your body is receiving essential ingredients to maintain health and vigour. Most reputable companies will provide a range of health supplements specifically designed for women.
There are over 30 vitamins and minerals considered essential to keeping your body healthy that should feature in your diet.
These essentials are often called micronutrients because only a small amount is actually required. But even that amount can prevent numerous diseases and illnesses, and improve the health of your body.
Vitamins
Vitamins are organic (containing carbon), and essential for metabolism and fighting disease. They can be broken down by heat, air or acid and thus affected by cooking and storage.
Most vitamins (apart from D and K) can not be manufactured by your body and must be added through food or supplements.
Vitamins are classified as either fat-soluble (A, D, E and K) or water-soluble (B and C).
Water-soluble vitamins (except B12) are not stored in the body long-term and must be taken more frequently. Fat-soluble vitamins may be stored in the body for months or longer.
Minerals
Minerals are inorganic, and are not easily broken down. Minerals in soil and water can find their way into your body through the plants, fish, animals and fluids you eat.
Minerals are essential for processes such as bone formation, heart and digestive function, and have been linked with prevention of cancer, osteoporosis and other chronic illnesses.
The body contains more than 60 different minerals, but only 22 are considered essential.
Calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and sulphur are usually considered macrominerals, or major minerals.
The other 7 essential minerals are considered trace minerals, or microminerals, as only a small amount is required.
