What is HerHealth™ Multivitamin?
Our HerHealth™ Complete Women's Multivitamin is a unique combination of premium ingredients that you won't find anywhere else. This multivitamin and mineral formula was designed to address women's health needs. Please read more about this special formulation, below.
Why Is Our HerHealth™ Multivitamin Better?
Our HerHealth™ Complete Women's Multivitamin provides the vitamins and minerals women need in appropriate amounts.
This formula, designed for women, has plenty of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K for bone health.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women over 40, so we also included significant levels of the B vitamins and made it iron-free. (Elevated iron levels are associated with cardiac risk, and very few women over 40 need to supplement with iron; ask your health care provide if you should be supplementing iron).
Women's digestive systems can be more sensitive than men's (and multi-vitamins themselves often cause upset stomachs), so we included digestive enzymes (vegetarian-source) in this formula.
Finally, we included a variety of antioxidants for overall health and to help the skin, hair and nails. The result is HerHealth™ Complete Women's Multivitamin with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and vegetarian digestive enzymes.
Who Should Consider HerHealth™ Multivitamin?
Women beyond childbearing years who are not at risk of becoming pregnant. If there is any chance of you becoming pregnant (including accidently), we suggest using PrenatalHealth™ Complete Prenatal Multivitamin. PrenatalHealth™ was specifically designed to meet the Dietary Reference Intakes recommended for pregnancy by the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board.

Background on the Ingredients found in HerHealth™:
Vitamins A-K:
Every major vitamin is available in appropriate quantities in HerHealth™. Including:
- Vitamin A (from Beta Carotene) for improved vision and to help guard against infection;
- Vitamin B1 to help process carbs, proteins and fats;
- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) to process carbs, proteins and fats, to help guard against preclampsia and chronic fatigue syndrome;
- Vitamin B3 (Niacin) for to help Vitamins B1 & B2 function and to help regulate cholesterol;
- Vitamin B6 for processing amino acids, lowering homocysteine levels (a risk factor for cardiovascular disease) and keeping immunity strength high;
- Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), helps to lower homocysteine levels and protect the heart;
- Vitamin B12 helps support normal nerve cell activity and DNA replication.
- Vitamin C helps to guard against cardiovascular disease, improve athletic/exercise performance, and boost immunity;
- Vitamin D3 helps to maintain blood levels of calcium and promote its absorption for healthy bones and teeth;
- Vitamin E helps to guard against cardiovascular disease, and is an antioxidant and for overall joint health;
- And Vitamin K2 helps maintain proper bone and blood function.
Minerals:
All the major essentials, including:
- Calcium supports strong bones and teeth, efficient blood clotting, nerve cell transmission and health muscle contractions;
- Iodine supports normal cell metabolism;
- Magnesium supports healthy bones and healthy protein and fatty acid creation, creating new cells, creating adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) which is the molecule needed for transporting energy;
- Phosphorus supports bone health
- Zinc helps to protect against free radicals, process protein into energy, maintain vision, boost immunity and promote healthy cell reproduction;
- Selenium as an antioxidant enabler;
- Copper to help the body process iron;
- Manganese helps support healthy tissue, bone and cartilage;
- And Chromium which helps to support normal blood sugar levels.
Antioxidants:
- Grape Seed Extract (OPC) are a set of bioflavonoid complexes that perform as free radical scavengers in the human body and may help strengthen blood vessels.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid may be the best antioxidant known, as it has the unique ability deactivate both fat- and water-soluble free radicals and thereby protect both lipoproteins and membranes. No other single antioxidant can do this.
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an amino acid-like antioxidant that has the ability to transport long-chain fatty acids mitochondria in your cells, where they are burned for energy. Some studies have also linked naturally declining levels of L-Carnitine to age-related mental decline.
- Hesperidin Complex is a bioflavonoid complex that has been linked to vascular health
- Citrus Bioflavonoids are a group of flavonoids linked to vascular and cardiac health and may help reduce the peroxidation of HDL cholesterol
- L-Glutathione is an amino acid that is linked to benefits from a wide variety of problems associated with aging.
- Quercetin is a flavonoid compound that may help protect the body from inflammatory responses. Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound.
- Lutein is a carotenoid that has been linked to both eye health and skin health.
- And Lycopene is a carotenoid that has been linked to cardiac and skin health.
Vegetarian Digestive Enzyme Formula:
- Amylase (fungal source) is an enzyme that helps to digest starch.
- Lipase (fungal source) is an enzyme that helps breakdown fats for digestion.
- And Protease (fungal source) is an enzyme that helps with the digestion of proteins by breaking proteins down into amino acids.
Side Effects
There can be occasional gastric discomfort, which can be ameliorated by taking HerHealth™ with food.
