Vitamins for Women
Vitamins and minerals play an integral role in the normal functioning of the body. Whether you are looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle or want to improve your digestion or sleep, certain supplements provide a quick and easy way of acquiring the necessary vitamins and minerals. As well as consuming essential vitamins like iron, calcium and vitamin C, the body can benefit from a whole host of superfoods which often provide a rich and varied source of nutrients.
Our diverse range of vitamins for women target general health and wellbeing such as the Active Women Multivitamin, as well as specific aspects of women's health such as the Active Women for Hair, Skin and Nails. Many of our vitamins, like our Active Women Beauty Sleep tablets are suitable for vegans meaning women with specific dietary requirements can still acquire the nutrients they need.

Who Vitamins for Women Are For
These supplements suit women who want to support their diet with additional vitamins and minerals. From busy professionals to active gym-goers, many women find it challenging to get all the nutrients they need from food alone. A targeted supplement can help fill those gaps.
Whether you're new to supplements or already have a well-established routine, our women's vitamins offer flexible options to match your lifestyle. Choose from comprehensive multivitamins that cover multiple bases or specific nutrient combinations tailored to particular needs.
When to Use Vitamins for Women
Most vitamin supplements work best when taken with food, as this can improve absorption and reduce the chance of digestive discomfort. Morning is a popular choice, making it easy to build into your breakfast routine. However, the most important factor is consistency—taking your vitamins at the same time each day helps establish a lasting habit.
Some women prefer splitting their intake across meals, particularly with multivitamins that contain multiple nutrients. Check the label for specific guidance, as certain formulations may have recommended timing for optimal absorption.
Vitamins for Women Benefits
Comprehensive Nutrient Support
Multivitamins for women typically contain a blend of essential vitamins and minerals in one convenient tablet. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system1, whilst Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones2. This makes multivitamins an efficient way to support your diet without juggling multiple bottles.
Bone and Muscle Function
Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones3, whilst magnesium contributes to normal muscle function4. These minerals work together to support structural health, particularly important as bone density naturally changes with age. Many women's supplements combine both nutrients in balanced ratios.
Energy and Psychological Function
B vitamins like riboflavin and Vitamin B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue5, whilst magnesium contributes to normal psychological function6. These nutrients support your body's natural energy-yielding metabolism, helping you maintain daily activities and mental clarity.
Skin, Hair and Nails
Certain nutrients are particularly valued for their structural roles. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin7, whilst riboflavin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin8. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin9, supporting the protein that gives skin its structure.

FAQs
What are women's multivitamins?
Women's multivitamins are supplements formulated to address the specific nutritional needs common among women. They typically contain a blend of vitamins and minerals in ratios designed to complement a female diet, including nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins D and B-complex. These formulations take into account that women's requirements for certain nutrients differ from men's, particularly around bone health, iron levels, and hormonal balance.
How do multivitamins for women differ from standard multivitamins?
Multivitamins for women often contain higher levels of iron, calcium and folic acid compared to standard or men's formulations. Women lose iron through menstruation and have increased calcium needs for bone health, whilst folic acid is particularly important for women of childbearing age. The nutrient ratios are adjusted to reflect female physiology and common dietary gaps identified in women's diets.
Which vitamins are most important for women?
Calcium and Vitamin D are particularly valued, as calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones3 and Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones2. B vitamins including Vitamin B12 and riboflavin contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue5, which many women prioritise. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin9, whilst magnesium contributes to normal psychological function6.
Can I take women's vitamins alongside other supplements?
Many women successfully combine multivitamins with specific supplements like omega-3s, protein powders or individual minerals. However, it's worth checking the nutrient content of all your supplements to avoid exceeding recommended upper limits for certain vitamins and minerals. If you're taking multiple products, ensure you're not duplicating doses unnecessarily, particularly with fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.
What's the difference between vitamin tablets and capsules?
Tablets are compressed powder forms that often have a longer shelf life and can be easier to swallow when smaller. Capsules consist of ingredients enclosed in a gelatine or vegetarian shell, which some people find gentler on the stomach. Both deliver the same nutrients—your choice comes down to personal preference and any dietary requirements like vegetarian or vegan formulations.
How should I choose between different vitamin supplements for women?
Consider your diet first—identify which nutrients you might not be getting enough of through food. If you eat minimal dairy, calcium and Vitamin D become priorities. A vegetarian or vegan diet may require additional B12 and iron. Multivitamins offer broad coverage, whilst targeted supplements like Calcium & Magnesium Tablets address specific nutritional gaps. Your lifestyle, dietary patterns and personal health goals will guide the most suitable choice.
Do I need to take vitamin supplements for women if I eat a balanced diet?
Even balanced diets can fall short in certain nutrients due to food choices, soil quality, or how food is prepared and stored. Many women find it challenging to consistently meet calcium requirements through diet alone, particularly if they avoid dairy. Vitamin D is difficult to obtain from food in sufficient amounts, especially in northern climates with limited sunlight. Supplements act as nutritional insurance, filling gaps that diet alone might miss.
What format of women's vitamins is easiest to take daily?
Tablets and capsules are the most common formats, offering convenience and portability. Single-tablet multivitamins simplify your routine compared to multiple separate supplements. If you struggle with swallowing pills, smaller capsules or splitting your dose across meals can help. Consistency matters more than format—choose whichever form you'll actually take every day.
Who developed Myprotein's vitamins for women?
Myprotein's vitamins for women are formulated by expert nutritionists who understand female nutritional requirements across different life stages. Each product is manufactured to rigorous quality standards, ensuring you receive exactly what's listed on the label.

Can I buy vitamins for women suitable for vegetarians?

Check individual product labels for specific suitability information, as some formulations are suitable for vegetarians whilst others may use gelatine capsules. We clearly mark dietary suitability on all product pages.
