Wild Nutrition Women's Daily Multi Nutrient
A reasonable insurance policy if your diet is inconsistent. If you have a specific issue such as low ferritin or poor sleep, a single targeted nutrient at a proper dose will do more than a multi.
Pros
- +Broad cover in one product
- +Gentle format
Cons
- -Individual doses lower than single-nutrient products
Evidence
Vitamin D supplementation is advised across the UK winter. K2 is added on plausible bone and vascular reasoning rather than strong outcome trials. Iron corrects iron deficiency, which is common in women with heavy periods. It should follow a blood test rather than a guess. B6 has some evidence for premenstrual symptoms at 50 to 100mg daily. Sustained high doses can cause nerve damage. Vitamin C corrects a deficiency that is rare in the UK. It helps iron absorption when taken alongside iron.
