Well Woman Vegan is the first-ever comprehensive nutritional supplement designed specifically for women who follow a vegan diet. Containing 24 nutrients, it provides unique botanical support from the Well Woman range, the UK's No. 1 women's hair care brand. Well Woman Vegan has been officially endorsed by both the Vegan Society
There are several reasons why women who follow a vegan diet may need to protect their dietary intake. Low levels of zinc intake in the diet are more common for vegetarians. It has been scientifically proven that zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, as well as to the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails. The body also needs vitamin B12 to support normal red blood cell formation and support the immune system. These elements are often found naturally in foods from animal sources, so a reliable supplement is recommended if you are a vegetarian
Women usually have a higher iron requirement than men, in part because of blood loss during the menstrual cycle. The most common form of iron is red meat, so when following a vegetarian diet, it is important to ensure that you get enough iron from alternative sources. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which is an important consideration during the menstrual cycle
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is not generally found in plant foods, so it is also important to ensure you get enough as Vitamin B12 contributes to the formation of red blood cells.
Wellwoman Vegan has been specially developed to provide higher levels of iron and vitamin B12 (compared to Wellwoman Original). The Well Woman Vegan formula also provides vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. And 400 mcg of folic acid, which contributes to the growth of normal maternal tissues during pregnancy, which is important for those who plan to become pregnant or there is a possibility of pregnancy.
Vitamin D plays an important role in the body for health and wellness. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and the normal functions of the immune system. The most common vitamin D sources are from non-vegetarian sources, especially in the D3 form. In other words, oily fish, butter and egg yolks. Well Woman Vegan provides 10mcg of vegan vitamin D2, which is the exact level recommended by the UK Department of Health.
Every vegetarian needs a reliable source of iodine in their diet. Where iodine is used in the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. These hormones control how quickly cells work. There is no easy way to know how much iodine is in plant foods. While seaweed is a rich source, the amount of iodine in plant food varies depending on the amount of soil in which the plants are grown. Well Woman Vegan provides 150 mcg of iodine
Well Woman Vegan contains Evening Primrose Oil and Starflower Oil in a unique powder form that allows for tablet formatting, eliminating the need for a capsule cap.
