Did you know that heart
disease is the number one killer of women in America
today? According to the College of American
Pathologists, more women die of heart disease than any
other disease. Cancer is next on the list
of killers for women, with lung cancer as the most common
type and breast cancer coming in second. These are
issues you can’t afford to ignore.1
Check out the cancer and heart disease sections for more
information on how our vitamin will help you reduce your
risk for these diseases.
Now let’s take a look at
some health issues relating specifically to women.
According to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 75% of women
suffer from some sort of premenstrual symptoms. Even
more dramatic are the statistics that 30-40% of women have
symptoms severe enough to disrupt their daily activities. 2
Our vitamins are prepared
to help nutritionally support many of the common symptoms
that women experience. Calcium was shown to reduce
the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS by nearly
50% in a study published in the American Journal of
Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1998.3
Magnesium was shown to reduce bloating, water retention,
and breast tenderness by 40% in a 1998 study in the
Journal of Women’s Health.4 The Mayo
Clinic records that vitamin E is thought to help regulate
the production of prostaglandins.5
Prostaglandins are a hormone that can help to alleviate
cramps and breast tenderness.
Let’s not forget the
mood swings and depression with which many women suffer.
In a study published in the Journal of Reproductive
Medicine in June of 1987, a connection was shown between
vitamin B6 and PMS.6 Thiamine has been shown to
improve mood as well.7
Another issue for women is
the onset of perimenopause (the period of time before
cessation of ovulation when symptoms first occur) and
menopause. Vitamin E comes to the rescue again in
alleviating the discomfort of hot flashes.8
Wild yam (due to their containing progesterone type
substances) and licorice are also beneficial to relieving
the symptoms that come with menopause.9
One of the unsung heroes in the nutrient division is
essential fatty acids or EFA's. EFA's help the body
create and balance hormone levels according to numerous
studies.10
So where do you go when
you are looking for these nutrients to support women's
health and you are concerned about getting the right
forms? Look no further than The
Greatest Vitamin in the World. The vitamins in our
formula are whole food based and absorbed much better than
the competition's synthetics (see vitamin section for
research). The minerals in our formula are patented and
absorbed better than any other kind (see mineral section
for amazing study graphs showing this). The EFA
source in our formula is second to none because of the CLA
oil and proprietary form of fatty acids in lecithin. All
of this in a formula that also gives you 100% of the
essential nutrients your body needs daily.
