Everyday Vitamins for Women
Everyday Vitamins for WomenWhat to combine with good eating to meet your nutritional needs
It's a good idea for every woman to take a daily multivitaminWhile certain nutritional needs can change, some nutrients remain particularly important throughout a woman's life. By eating well, women can get much of what they need, such as protein and fiber, but many can benefit from taking supplements to ensure they get enough of certain essential vitamins and minerals that the diet doesn't always provide in sufficient amounts, such as calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.
A happy family
For starters, it's a good idea for every woman to take a daily multivitamin to get a family of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C (200 to 1,000 mg per day) and the B-complex vitamins. The B vitamins that are part of this complex are thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin or niacinamide (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid, and cobalamin (vitamin B12). Most multivitamins will also contain beneficial zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin E for healthy skin and immune function, and to protect against a wide variety of diseases.
The strength is in the bones
A woman's bones need extra care to help preserve bone mass and avoid possible osteoporosis later in life. Body After Baby author and nutrition expert Jackie Keller says "Women need calcium at all stages of life, and we generally don't get enough in our diets through food sources." Look for a calcium supplement that, combined with diet and what you might get in a multivitamin, gives you around 1,000 mg per day, 1,200 if you're over 51. To further protect bones, doctors also recommend supplementing with 400 to 800 IU of vitamin D per day when taking calcium.
Fatty is good
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential for the body's health. For women, they may protect against a wide range of conditions, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and depression. Food sources include cold-water fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, and canola oil. Common supplement forms of omega-3s are fish oil capsules (1,000 to 4,000 mg per day) and ground flaxseed (1 tablespoon [15 ml] one or two times a day). You can easily grind your own flaxseeds in a small coffee bean grinder to guarantee freshness.
Freelance writer Terra Wellington makes sure she gets her omega-3s by adding ground organic flaxseed to her cereal every morning.Copyright 2013 Aisle7. All rights reserved. Aisle7.com

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® 50 Plus:
Easy to grab the packets to take on the go and pack for travel. Packaging could be a little easier to open-some open easily, others are difficult. Have never had fishy aftertaste. Helps me to get needed liquid intake every day! Cost is somewhat of a deterrent to continuous use.

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® 50 Plus:
I use daily after breakfast and this helps me throughout the day. In a previous comment it stated there was a bad after taste and I have never found that due to eating after a meal. I can tell when I do not take the pack and have even taken later in the day when I forgot. It is easy on the go and for business travel. Excellent vitamin pack!!

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® 50 Plus:
The convenience of having the supplements in one packet each day was exactly what I was looking for. The smell, the fishy burping and heartburn from the Omega 3 supplements was definitely what I wasn't looking for. It would be nice if they could use something like the MegRed krill oil which doesn't cause those problems in the packets. It would definitely be a great product then!

Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega® 50 Plus:
Having the vitamins packaged for daily use is great. Cuts down time in taking them and when I travel they lay flat in the suitcase not takeing up any extra room. Taking the Ultara Mega 50 Plus ensures that no matter how I eat I will always have the vitamins my body needs. The only not great thing about them is, they have a vitamin smell.
