Women’s supplements and how they can help

In this day and age, women have a lot on their plates, from juggling careers and family life to all their responsibilities at home.

A statement released by Leigh Callipolitis on behalf of iNova Pharmaceuticals, indicates that all of these commitments can lead to women neglecting their bodies, and failing to look after their bodies can have a ripple effect on their health.

We’ve all been there – that feeling of not being in control, not having time to plan our meals, eating junk food, being more prone to illness and injury, experiencing too much stress and an overall feeling of being out of balance.

“Sometimes we need to take a step back and see how we can put back what life takes out.

“This is where some of us could really benefit from a supplement specifically formulated for women and our specific nutritional needs. Besides those of us who may not follow a balanced diet all of the time and may not get our optimal nutrition from the food we eat, women who can benefit from a women’s supplement include those under large amounts of stress and those who do strenuous exercise regularly.

“Since certain nutrients can affect our mood, health supplements might also be able to help us deal better with stress, good news for so many of us who face stress on a daily basis.

For those of us who exercise a lot, getting enough nutrients is essential and specific vitamins and minerals can even help reduce exercise-related symptoms such as delayed muscle soreness.”

She said StaminoGro Woman*, which was launched into South Africa last year, has been specifically formulated with a woman’s needs in mind.

“StaminoGro Woman contains a combination of amino acids, antioxidants and B-Complex vitamins, with added extra folic acid, Iron, Vitamins D, E and B6 as well as Zinc7-15. Folic Acid, for example, plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells – a key component in preventing iron deficiency anaemia – while iron is essential for women due to blood loss during menstruation.

“StaminoGro Woman can be used daily as a nutritional supplement and can also assist with some of the other nasty side effects of modern life which include chronic fatigue and low energy, as well as helping to support the immune system. Remember also that as we age, our nutritional needs may change.”

iNova advised women to speak to their doctors or pharmacists about which supplement may be best.
