Premium Formula Designed for Women Who Exercise Regularly
- Supports energy & metabolism with advanced multivitamin formula featuring B-vitamins, L-carnitine & CLA
- Fuels lean muscle with 10g of high quality protein to support recovery, repair & maintenance of body tissues such as skin, bones & muscles
- Fuels performance with specialized blend of ingredients including electrolytes, green tea, ginkgo biloba & amino acids
- Enriched with 8 grams of dietary fiber to promote digestion & colon health
- Provides green tea and B-vitamins that are essential for carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.
- Features L-carnitine to facilitate the metabolism of long chain fatty acids. L-carnitine transforms fatty acids into energy for muscles.
- Features key electrolytes including potassium and chloride, which help regulate body fluids. Intense exercise can result in a loss of these valuable electrolytes and may lead to muscle cramping.
- Features 10g of protein which can help increase the feeling of fullness. Along with exercise, protein is a quality fuel for lean muscle. When building lean muscle, metabolism increases, helping to burn more calories around the clock.
- Features a performance blend with green tea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng and branched chain amino acids(BCAA). BCAA help to reduce the amount of protein breakdown during intense exercise.
- Includes 8g of dietary fiber per serving. Fiber aids in digestive health, eliminates unwanted toxins from the body and increases your feeling of fullness.
- Provides 500mg of calcium along with magnesium and vitamin D-3 to enhance its absorption. These nutrients are essential in the development of healthy bones and teeth.
- Features 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3. Emerging research suggests that adequate daily vitamin D intake may play a role in supporting breast and colon health.

Multivitamins May Protect Men Against Cancer
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against Cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

Comments about GNC Women's Women's Ultra Mega® - Milk Chocolate:
I use daily especially for complete nourishment with everything I need being over 50. took my cholesterol from 412 to 117 in 6 months. went from a size 20 to a 4 in 1 year. I especially love the powder and the feeling that I had a meal. The pills don't do that. I have referred this product to 15 people that I know and now it isn't being sold anymore in powder. Last month when I joined GNC I was relieved to see all the powder products-however this month there isn't any and I even got the Gold card believing you would continue to sell the powder. Now I don't know what I'm going to do. Please, please if you have anymore powder product left in ultra mega womens for over 50 please let me know and i'll try to figure out how to buy at least a years supply. I have to have this product in powder form. please don't stop selling it. please. My own Dr. thinks that I am a miracle. I have a bad back (arthritis and scoliosis)and very painful feet and having lost the weight and lowered my cholesterol and regulated my own heart rhythm with this product everything has stabilized followed by the fact that I feel full from the powder. Please let this product be on your web site next time I open it (tomorrow)

Comments about GNC Women's Women's Ultra Mega® - Milk Chocolate:
This is a great tasting powder. I mix it with fat free milk and crushed ice. Makes a great drink. Curbs appetite a bit...Leaves a feeling of fullness. Great alternative to those huge pills which are very hard to swallow. Absolutely no side effects; no abdominal gases or cramping. The chocolate flavor is fantastic. I mix one scoop in the AM and another scoop in the afternoon. Definitely recommend this product.

I dislike having to swallow pills, so I thought I would give this a try. I just add to my protein shake each morning and before I go to bed. I absolutely love it! It has all the vitamins I need to keep me going! NPC Figure Athlete

Comments about GNC Women's Women's Ultra Mega® - Milk Chocolate:
I recommend this product! I'm not good with taking many big pills so I stopped taking them (but I did lose 10 lbs by taking the pill form). I tried the chocolate mix and have lost another 10 lbs. (5'11"; 179 lbs to-date). The mix makes me drink my water! I put 1 scoop into 24 oz of water – twice a day. I am less hungry because I'm giving my body the water and vitamins it needs! The vitamins help my body perform better and as a result I have more energy to do my daily exercise! Win, Win for me. I say try it! (Note: drink it all and rinse out the cup or the next day you'll smell the omegas!)

Comments about GNC Women's Women's Ultra Mega® - Milk Chocolate:
I love this stuff! I had been taking the Mega woman pill form, but they were so big, I hated taking them. I bought this powder to try which has more benefits than the pill form and am so glad I did. I mix it w/ water and a little ice, shake in a blender bottle until the ice melts and it's so so good. I am feeling so good, my skin is looking so much better w/ all the antioxidants it has in it and I've lost two pounds in one week w/ the boost in my metabolism. It does cause a little intestinal cramping occasionally but that's because of the fiber in it, we don't get along so good. The benefits far out weigh any negative. Love, love, love it.
