Precautions

• Food supplement: cannot replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

• Folic acid & pregnancy: folic acid contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. However, as this product also contains vitamin A in retinol form and wild yam, pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should consult a doctor before use.
• Chromium: if you are diabetic or following a treatment that affects blood sugar levels, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before use.
• Wild yam: not recommended for continuous use beyond 3 consecutive months without a break. Not recommended for women on hormonal treatment (contraceptives, HRT) without prior medical advice.
• General: keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Energy & reduction of tiredness

Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12, together with vitamin C and iron, contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Immune system

Vitamins A, C, D3, B9 and B12, along with iron, zinc, selenium and copper, contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Protection of cells from oxidative stress

Vitamins C and E, riboflavin (B2), selenium, zinc, copper and manganese contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Bones, muscles & teeth

Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal teeth. Manganese contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to the normal formation of connective tissue.

Nervous system & psychological functions

Vitamins B1, B3, B6 and B12 contribute to the normal function of the nervous system. Vitamins B3, B6, B12, biotin and vitamin C contribute to normal psychological function.

Vision, skin & mucous membranes

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, normal skin and normal mucous membranes.

Iron & oxygen transport

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to normal oxygen transport in the body. This formula provides 28 mg of iron per capsule (200% NRV), a dosage suited to women's specific needs.

Hormonal regulation & fertility

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.

Thyroid function

Iodine contributes to the normal function of the thyroid and to the normal production of thyroid hormones. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid hormone metabolism.

Hair, nails & skin

Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal nails and normal skin.

Iron & women's specific needs

Women of reproductive age have significantly higher iron needs than men, particularly due to menstrual losses. A review published in the European Journal of Sport Science (2019) confirmed that iron deficiency, even subclinical, is associated with increased fatigue, reduced physical performance and impaired oxygen transport. This formula provides 28 mg of ferrous fumarate per capsule (200% NRV), an organic form that is well tolerated and well absorbed.

Folic acid & normal cell division

Folic acid plays a central role in DNA synthesis and cell division. A review published in Nutrients (2019) noted that folic acid is essential for normal blood formation and for maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Inadequate intake is associated with an increased risk of neural tube defects. This formula provides 400 µg of folic acid per capsule (200% NRV).

Vitamin D3 & bone health

Women have an increased risk of bone loss, particularly from perimenopause onwards. A meta-analysis published in Osteoporosis International (2005) showed that vitamin D3 supplementation significantly reduced the risk of non-vertebral fractures in women. Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal muscle function, two parameters essential to long-term health for active women.

Biotin & hair

Biotin is an essential cofactor in several carboxylases involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids needed for keratin structure, the main constituent of hair. A review published in Skin Appendage Disorders (2017) summarised the available data on the role of biotin in hair health. This formula provides 150 µg of biotin per capsule (300% NRV).

Selenium & oxidative stress

Selenium is an essential component of glutathione peroxidase, one of the body's main antioxidant enzymes. A review published in The Lancet (2012) demonstrated the importance of selenium status for the protection of cells from oxidative stress, with direct implications for immunity and cellular longevity. This formula provides 100 µg per capsule (181% NRV).
