Importance of multivitamins in women
Till time immemorial, women have always been so busy in their lives that they were unaware of the growing discrepancies in their diet eventually causing serious nutritional deficit.
Currently, woman’s nutritional status is the primary barometer of mental and physical well-being where the signs of a well-nourished woman is a strong immune system and infection resistant build-up in body.
- Globally 31% of women in the age range 15-49 years suffer from anaemia while 7% women > 18 years suffer from under-weight and low BMI index (UNICEF, 2023).
- In core industrialized areas and developing countries, micronutrient deficit affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, mainly pregnant women and children less than 5 years of age.
- The most common micro-nutrient deficiencies include that of folate, zinc, iron, iodine, vitamin A which cause intellectual impairment, perinatal complications as well as higher mortality and morbidity (Kiani et al., 2022).
- Another experimental study aimed at the rural manual labourer and urban working sector shows that both groups skip meals on occasion leading to essential nutrient shortage. Moreover, this investigation also showed that working women from metropolitan cities were obese and overweight due to consumption of junk food, lack of healthy food in their diet like vegetables, milk and milk products plus a sedentary lifestyle (Vaishnav, 2023).
How does lack of simple nutrients cause big impact in women?
Nutrition is important for women the lack of which affects many organs protecting the reproductive system. Thus, a significant deficit of these simple micronutrients can cause multiple connected disorders in women.
Iron deficiency: Let us understand the impact of micronutrient deficiency of most common essential micro-nutrient like iron. A huge percentage of women especially menstruating women suffer from iron deficiency.
According to the World Nutrition Assessment, India has the highest incidence of iron deficiency anemia which ranks 170 out of 180 nations of women suffering from anemia.
Low iron availability in our daily food is the major cause of iron deficiency in India. Various co-relating factors are the include biological factors, dietary as well as cultural, socioeconomic reasons. Apart from pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers, women with anti-acid therapies are often prone to iron deficiency disorders. According to the Global Burden of Diseases 2021, the disease adjusted life years or DALY for iron deficiency have increased considerably between 1990 as well as 2021, along with highest burden seen in low socioeconomic areas (Warner & Kamran, 2023).
Main signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include
- Fatigue,
- Reduced exercise capacity as well as
- Poor work performance.
Newedge Ultrafit-Women Multivitamin: Added glycine, L glutamine = Added benefits !
Newedge Ultrafit-Women Multivitamin have been formulated keeping in mind the smallest and rarest nutrient requirements of women.
Compared to Newedge multivitamins for men, women multivitamin tablets have additional amino acids like L glutamine which have their own significance.
- L glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid which is converted to glutamate through metabolic pathways.
- If received through oral supplementation, glycine could be very effective when consumed with cysteine thus improving the glutathione status (Gould & Pazdro, 2019).
- L glutamine is an essential building block of protein which produces other amino acids removing waste products like ammonia from the body playing an important role in chemical processes which provide our body with the energy required to run the day.
- It helps in fuelling the immune system, strengthening the cell barrier preventing the intestines from getting damaged thus helping to maintain a healthy gut.
- FDA approved glutamine is also connected with the reduction of serious complications like sickle cell disease.
- L glutamine in the form of Endari is well known in reducing pain.
Importance of amino acids for gym going women
Health is the first priority for both men and women and following current trends, women are equally engaged in maintaining a fit lifestyle through healthy eating habits and regular exercise.
For this, amino acids are important for achieving optimal health as well as fitness in women involved in bodybuilding or weightloss.
In women, specific categories of amino acids like essential amino acids as well as branched chain amino acids support muscle health, boosting energy thus enhancing metabolism important for women’s fitness and overall well being.
In summary, there are multiple benefits of incorporating amino acids in multi vitamin for women. These are as follows:
- Improved metabolism as well as energy levels
- Quick and consistent muscle recovery

Boon for pregnant women: importance of folic acid
Folic acid is a type of folate, a kind of Vitamin B which helps in the formation of new cells in the body. All types of women capable of getting pregnant require at least 400 mg of folic acids on a daily basis especially 400-800 mcg in pregnant women and almost 4000 mcg in women having spina bifida (Why Every Woman Needs Folic Acid, n.d.). These amounts help prevent serious health defects in children called neural tube effects. Folic acid is important in the following ways:
- Folic acid’s importance in early pregnancy lies in the development of neural tube growing into the brain and spine, lack of which causes NTDs or neural tube defects which are major birth defects of baby’s brain seen during the first weeks of pregnancy (CDC, 2024).
- Apart from pregnant women researchers have found folate to be important in normal women as low levels of folate cause decreased brain function as well as increased dementia risk.
- This is further linked to improvement of brain function as well as Alzheimer’s disease reducing the symptoms of depression.
- Folic acid also helps in the reduction of heart disease risks through reduction of high blood pressure and blood flow improvement.
