For Women

Women need certain vitamins and supplements to help with their overall health and wellness. Although many supplements are conducive for both men and women’s health, there are certain vitamins and minerals that women need to keep their bodies healthy and strong especially if they are pregnant or aging. The following supplements from MegaFood Vitamins are designed specifically to help target the deficiencies that many women face or provide the supplements that women desire for their wellness.

Women’s Multi

One of the first go-to vitamins and supplements that most people reach for is a good multi-vitamin. MegaFood’s Women’s Multi provides all around health and wellness benefits specifically designed for a woman’s body. It helps regulate hormone fluctuations and the 15mg of iron replenishes what was lost during menstruation. Added vitamin D, and vitamins K1 and K2 help support bone health. The B vitamins help with energy production and your nervous system, while choline supports healthy and active brain function. The folate, which is crucial to a woman’s wellness especially during child-bearing years, is methylated so it can be more easily absorbed for those with the MTHFR gene mutation.

The Women’s Multi should be taken twice a day for overall health and wellness support. It does not contain added calcium, however, so a calcium supplement, like Bone Health, should be considered.

Bone Health

One of the most common deficiencies for women is calcium. Along with other hard to absorb vitamins and minerals, bone health can be difficult to support without a vitamin supplement. Bone Health by Mega Vitamins includes vitamin D, vitamin C,  and vitamins K1 and K2 which all support healthy bones. It also contains 500 mg of calcium and 300 mg of magnesium for increased bone density and normal muscle function.

Bone Health can be taken once per day, with food for sensitive stomachs. It is a great addition to Mega Vitamin’s Women’s Multi. It is also a necessary supplement for aging women who need to increase their bone density.

Skin, Hair, and Nails 2

Glowing skin? Soft and silky hair? Strong, long nails? These are all things women want but sometimes the nutrients that help create this attributes are difficult to get through a regular, healthy daily diet. Skin, Hair, and Nails 2 from MegaFood provides FoodState nutrients that help strengthen and nourish your skin, hair, and nails to create long-lasting growth and strength.

Skin, Hair, and Nails 2 can be taken any time of day, and it is gentle enough to consume on an empty stomach. It is an herb-free formulation.

The Calm Bundle

It’s no secret that women, especially moms, are under quite a bit of stress. The Calm Bundle from MegaFood provides three different supplements- Adrenal Strength, Un-Stress, and Dream Release- to help calm, de-stress, and relax your mind and body.

Adrenal Strength helps promote health adrenal release systems, balancing your hormones and giving you a calm demeanor despite your physical, mental, and emotional stress.

Women’s Maca Nutrient Booster Powder

If you are looking for a little boost to your daily smoothie, Women’s Maca from MegaFood is a great option. This nutrient boost power can be used daily in a smoothie or cold-pressed juice, and helps support the overall health and wellness of women.

For Men

Although many vitamins and minerals- like Vitamins A, C, E, and several of the B vitamins- are crucial to both men and women, men need different supplements for their bodies especially as they age. Overall health and wellness is dependent on specific vitamins and minerals, and as men get older it is harder for their bodies to absorb them. The following supplements from MegaFood are designed specifically to help target the deficiencies that many men face as they get older, or supplements that improve overall health and wellness for men.

Men’s Multi

Men and women have different needs when it comes to vitamins, minerals, and supplements. MegaFood Men’s Multi is made specifically with the needs of a man’s body in mind. It is formulated without iron, magnesium, or calcium which is not recommended to be added to a male supplement unless requested by a doctor. The B vitamins support healthy energy and nervous system function, while choline supports healthy memory and cognitive function. It also has methylated folate and B12 which is more easily absorbed by persons with the MTHFR gene mutation. Men’s Multi also has iodine and P5P (the active form of B6) to help with blood production and cardiovascular health.

Men’s Multi can be taken twice a day and is gentle enough to be taken on an empty stomach.

Balanced B

Added B vitamins support your nervous system and cellular function to create healthy cell growth and reproduction. Balanced B from MegaFood helps to convert food into energy with it’s balanced B complex vitamins. The additional nourishing whole foods like organic kale and brown rice help with additional nutrients and better absorption of the B vitamins. Balanced B can help increase energy levels and promote healthy absorption of your food’s vitamins and minerals.

Balanced B can be taken every day and is gentle enough to take on an empty stomach.

Men’s Maca Nutrient Booster Powder

Much like the female version, Men’s Maca is a daily nutrient boosting powder that helps support the vitality and physiological health for men. Maca is a nourishing superfood found in the mountains of Peru, and is often used to boost a person’s overall immune system.  This nutrient boost power can be used in a smoothie or cold-pressed juice. Drink it daily to give yourself an extra boost throughout the day.

For Kids

Kids often need vitamins and supplements to help get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies that they don’t effectively get from their diets. These vitamins and minerals can help keep your children healthy and strong, increasing their immune systems and preventing illness. The following supplements from MegaFood are designed specifically to help target the deficiencies that many children face in their daily diet and to help boost their immune system.

Kids One Daily

There are certain vitamins and minerals that are difficult for kids to get, even with a balanced and healthy diet. A good multi-vitamin designed specifically for your child’s body is exactly what they need for healthy development and overall wellness. The Kids One Daily from MegaFood is specially formulated to give kids what they are missing. It provides 24 FoodState Nutrients that help support healthy growth, and the Fruit Phenolic Blend provides extra antioxidants.

Kids B Complex

The B vitamins are crucial to healthy development, especially in kids. B vitamins play an essential role in releasing energy from the food we eat, as well as in the formation of healthy red blood cells and nerve function. MegaFood’s Kids B Complex contains a balanced combination of all the 13 B vitamins. Along with zinc, choline, and inositol, this daily supplement supports energy production and a healthy nervous system.

MegaFood supplements come from organic, family farms that take pride in what they do. They only use a handful of farmers which means they closely trust who they work with, and so can you. Your family’s health and wellness is priority, and now you can make sure they get all the nutrients they need.
