Nutritional supplements for holistic women's health
Healthy eating and the right nutrients are a multifaceted topic for which there is not just one right solution. Especially when it comes to our individual needs, the topic becomes even more complex, because in the big discussion about health and nutrition, one important point is often overlooked: women and men have very different nutrient requirements.
This issue becomes all the more relevant when we realize that many nutritional guidelines and recommendations are tailored to the average man. This means that they cannot be easily transferred to women, as women's bodies simply function differently in many respects. This is mainly due to biological and hormonal processes, such as menstruation, pregnancy or the menopause. Women therefore have very specific nutritional requirements.
Whether with Pro PMS Balance for the challenging days of your cycle or with Pro Meno Balance for the special needs during the menopause – you will find the ideal nutritional supplements for women to suit your individual needs!
Food supplements for women: Balanced hormone levels
A balanced hormone balance plays a key role in making women feel healthy. This is because hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone are not only important for reproduction. They influence significantly more processes in the body, such as mood and the immune system.
Nutrients also play a special role here: minerals and vitamins are of great importance for the hormone balance and the production of hormones:
· Vitamin D3, as in our Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 1.000, plays a crucial role in the regulation of oestrogen and progesterone.
o Magnesium supports the function of the adrenal glands and therefore the balance of important hormones. It also counteracts cramps – including menstrual cramps.
· Iodine, such as in Pro Jod, has an essential influence on the thyroid gland, which produces important hormones.
· Probiotics, as in Pro EM san, promote intestinal flora and therefore hormone regulation.
Our Pro PMS Balance or Pro Meno Balance provide targeted support for challenges during the menstrual cycle or menopause.
The most important supplements for women:
Possible deficiency symptoms
The possible deficiency symptoms also differ for women and men. In order to find the right nutritional supplements for women, it is important to understand typical deficiency symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies in women include:
· Iron deficiency: It is the most common deficiency symptom in women. This is because we lose a lot of blood during our period, and therefore also important iron. The most common symptoms of iron deficiency include tiredness, weakness and pale skin. However, with our Pro Ferra Ferment you are ideally equipped to combat an iron deficiency.
· Vitamin B deficiency: B vitamins are also among the most common causes of deficiency symptoms in women – especially vitamin B12. This is not only due to loss during the period but also to eating habits. This is because many women eat a vegan or vegetarian diet, which makes it difficult for them to absorb enough B vitamins. In our Pro Vitamin B Komplex you will find a balanced combination of all essential B vitamins.
PMS & dysmenorrhea: help for the challenging days of the cycle
Many women are familiar with the symptoms before and during their period: they bring with them mood swings, irritability and a lack of energy. Many women also experience painful cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, which can put an additional strain on everyday life. But don't worry: with the right support, you can cope better with these challenges.
Pro PMS Balance was specially developed to provide optimum support for women in this phase of their cycle. The unique formula combines proven ingredients that are specifically tailored to the typical symptoms:
· Monk's pepper extract for hormonal balance and to relieve typical PMS symptoms.
· Ginfort® ginger extract is known for its calming properties for cramps and physical tension.
· Magnesium, zinc and copper support the muscles, hormone synthesis and energy metabolism.
· Vitamin B6 regulates hormone activity, reduces tiredness and strengthens the psyche.
With Pro PMS Balance, you are ideally equipped to face both PMS and dysmenorrhea calmly – for more well-being and a relaxed everyday life, even on the challenging days of your cycle!
Food supplements for women who want to have children
Special nutritional recommendations apply to women who want to have children. This is because only a healthy body can provide enough energy not only to become pregnant, but also to sustain another living being over a longer period of time. It is therefore important to prepare the body sufficiently for pregnancy – with the right nutrients.
To provide you with a comprehensive supply, our Pro Dialvit44 is a high-quality multivitamin supplement. In addition, women who wish to have children should take supplements containing the following nutrients:
· Iron is important for oxygen transport in the blood and a strong immune system – the basic requirements for a healthy pregnancy.
· Folic acid contributes to the formation of new cells and DNA synthesis. It is therefore crucial for the development of the unborn child.
· Zinc is required for the function of the reproductive organs.

Important nutritional supplements
for women over 40
Although the menopause is still in the future for forty-year-olds, many women already undergo some changes at this age – their periods become more irregular and both their physical and mental needs change. It is therefore important to adapt your nutritional focus to the changes in your life situation and prepare your body for the menopause in the best possible way. Nutritional supplements for women over 40 should therefore contain these important nutrients:
· Vitamin A, D3 and K2 as well as the minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, boron and manganese, which play an important role in maintaining bone health in advanced age
· Vitamin C, which is particularly important for women over 40 to maintain normal collagen formation and healthy immune function as we age
· Omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for the human body. They help to maintain heart health, brain function and eyesight, especially in old age.
· Magnesium, which is particularly important to support muscle and nerve health. It also helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Another thing that has long since changed in the forties is the skin. Women in particular know exactly how their skin looks and want to maintain their youthful appearance for as long as possible. However, what causes the first wrinkles and dry areas of skin is a lack of collagen – the main protein of the skin. If it is missing, the skin loses elasticity. High-quality vegan alternatives in powder form, such as our Pro Collagen Vegan, provide the right building blocks to sufficiently restore collagen and stimulate the body's own collagen synthesis.
During the menopause: Food supplements for women over 50
The menopause is a special time in the lives of all women. Many are confronted with new, unexpected discomforts – hot flushes, mood swings and sleep disorders are just some of the usual suspects. But don't worry: with the right menopause supplements, you can overcome these challenges too.
