Multivitamin supplements have been used for decades to ensure that minimum nutritional needs are met, despite daily variations in diet and nutrient intake. Even some of the best, most balanced diets lack certain categories of micronutrients. Cyto-Matrix's Women's Multi is specially designed to fill these gaps and meet the unique nutritional needs of women.
Multivitamin supplements in general have been shown to improve the body's stress response, mood, and energy levels. However, multivitamin supplements are unfairly classified as a single entity without recognizing the huge differences in quality and dosage between formulations. For this reason, it is important to evaluate multivitamin formulas on a number of parameters.
First, different mineral salts and forms of vitamins can significantly affect nutrient absorption rates from the digestive tract. For example, B vitamins must first be converted into their active forms before being used in the body. If vitamin B6 is supplemented as pyridoxine hydrochloride, the liver must first convert it to pyridoxal-5-phosphate before it can be used effectively in physiological processes. The same principle applies to riboflavin, folic acid, vitamin B12 and other vitamins. With minerals, carbonate and oxide forms are commonly used despite evidence that citrate, amino acid chelates, and buffered mixtures demonstrate superior absorption.
Second, a “once a day” multivitamin is convenient, but it is often not enough to make a difference in health outcomes. To provide meaningful, evidence-based dosages of a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, more than one vegetable capsule or tablet is needed. Unfortunately, to reduce the number of capsules, many multivitamin formulations contain only trace amounts of nutrients or exclude certain nutrients, making the formula incomplete.
Finally, specific populations and ages have unique nutritional needs. When it comes to women's nutritional needs, it is well known that women are at greater risk than men for osteoporosis and iron deficiency anemia. Additionally, women of childbearing age need adequate folate intake to support healthy fertility.
For these reasons, Cyto-Matrix’s Women’s Multi is formulated with significant, but well-balanced, amounts of elemental calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, folate, and iron. All nutrients in Women's Multi are found in their active, highly bioavailable forms, such as mixed tocopherols, methylcobalamin, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), and citrate mineral salts. Simply put, dosages, ratios, and forms of nutrients are intended to support optimal health outcomes in women.
