protein working specifically on the my
0:06
vitamins products to bring you expertly
0:08
formulated vitamins and supplements guys
0:11
you might want to fast forward through
0:12
this as today i'm going to talk
0:14
specifically about vitamins for women
0:16
admittedly on a top level males and
0:18
females generally have similar
0:20
nutritional needs our requirements for
0:22
carbohydrates fat and protein are the
0:25
same but we also have a lot of
0:26
differences apart from the obvious which
0:29
are largely interconnected with our
0:30
differences in hormones and our
0:32
reproductive cycles now from our
0:34
perspective your first port of call for
0:36
all your nutritional needs should always
0:38
be a healthy balanced diet but depending
0:41
on your lifestyle or your dietary
0:43
requirements or even when your busy life
0:45
just gets in the way there can be a huge
0:47
convenience to supplementing with the
0:49
vitamins and minerals you need think of
0:51
them as that extra little bit of peace
0:53
of mind or extra precaution if you're at
0:55
risk of being deficient so with that in
0:57
mind here are some of my top
1:03
cinnamon b12 my go-to recommendation for
1:05
woman is vitamin b12 as your body cannot
1:08
make it itself particularly if you're
1:10
following a vegan or even a flexitarian
1:13
this is because foods highest in b12
1:15
tend to come from animal sources like
1:17
milk eggs poultry and some fish it has
1:20
several functions in the body the key
1:22
one being making red blood cells whose
1:24
job it is to transport oxygen around the
1:26
body if deficient in vitamin b12 the
1:29
lack of travelling oxygen could make you
1:31
feel weak and tired if left untreated it
1:34
can develop into anemia where you either
1:36
have fewer red blood cells or less
1:38
hemoglobin the oxygen carrying molecule
1:41
in blood cells than normal tied to this
1:43
it also aids function of the nervous
1:45
system and brain and therefore emotions
1:47
and whilst this is still an area of
1:49
emerging research one standout study
1:52
from 2003 in particular found a positive
1:54
correlation between b12 supplementation
1:57
and recovery from major depression
2:01
our iron and folic acid tablets have
2:03
vitamin c to aid iron absorption in the
2:06
body like b12 iron is also essential for
2:10
red blood cell formation and the
2:11
transportation of oxygen in the blood
2:13
and can be particularly important for
2:15
women since many of us lose blood and
2:17
therefore iron monthly when on our
2:19
periods again while some foods contain
2:22
iron including red meat poultry tofu
2:25
green leafy vegetables and even dark
2:27
chocolate it can be tough to get the 18
2:30
milligrams of iron you need per day
2:32
through diet alone and that's where it
2:34
could be handy to think about taking a
2:36
daily supplement like with b12 a
2:38
deficiency can cause anemia leaving you
2:40
feeling weak dizzy and tired if this is
2:43
resonating with you maybe you're
2:45
deficient in b12 or iron why not give
2:47
supplements a go and see if it helps
2:54
if you're looking for a gradle rounder
2:56
we've got expertly formulated tablets

3:41
you feel great not only on the inside
3:43
but on the outside too then we've got a
3:46
couple of helpful additions for your
3:47
beauty regime let's start at the top and
3:50
talk hair whilst a common misconception
3:52
is that hair loss mainly affects men
3:54
it's actually estimated that more than
3:56
50 of women will experience noticeable
3:59
hair loss at some point in their
4:00
lifetime this can be caused by a huge
4:02
range of factors from stress to hormonal
4:05
imbalances chemical or heat damage and
4:08
per nutrition so that's where a
4:10
supplement might be able to help
4:13
biotin a vitamin of the bee complex is
4:16
well known for maintenance of not only
4:18
healthy hair but skin and nails too it's
4:20
a water-soluble vitamin which means that
4:22
when you consume it it can be lost in
4:24
your urine unless it's used quickly so
4:26
supplements can help to boost your
4:28
levels when you need it it works as a
4:30
co-enzyme eating the production of amino
4:32
acids specifically improving keratin
4:35
infrastructure the protein that makes up
4:37
your hair and nails the journal of the
4:39
american academy of dermatology amongst
4:42
other clinical studies have found that
4:44
biotin supplementation even at low doses
4:46
can return hair growth back to its
4:48
normal rate following hair loss we all
4:50
want our skin to be no filter necessary
4:53
but often when it's looking dry or dull
4:55
it can start our day off on the wrong
4:58
hyaluronic acid is globally recognized
5:01
in the beauty world as it's a naturally
5:03
occurring moisture retaining molecule in
5:05
our skin connective tissues joints and
5:09
hyaluronic acid stores a thousand times
5:11
its own weight in water and since 50 of
5:14
our levels are found in skin cells you
5:16
can see how it works to keep our skin
5:17
looking moisturized fresh and glowing
5:20
from the inside out our natural levels
5:22
decline as we age so supplements can be
5:24
a great way to restore our body's
5:26
supplies so that's it our whistle-stop
