Suggested Usage: For maximum benefits NutriPods should be taken with meals. Because only one NutriPod is recommended, each Pod contains a full milligram of folic acid (a necessary daily minimal). It would be perfectly safe for an individual to use two NutriPods per day, if required due to an inadequate diet or poor health. In this case, the NutriPods must be taken at separate meals for optimal assimilation. For maximum benefits NutriPods should be taken with a meal.

Other elements that are provided in higher amounts in the NutriPods For Women include vitamin B6 (extra 20mg; aids in hormonal balance and prevents hormonally-related water retention), vitamin D3 (bringing the total up to 1000IU per NutriPod), iodine (an extra 50mcg; for thyroid support) and the mineral boron (2mg) shown to be helpful for balancing estrogen levels and maintaining bone density.

Magnesium (50mg extra) and pantothenic acid (B5; 50mg extra) have been included to support bone health, the adrenal glands and stress. When the adrenal glands are nourished and healthy they produce the “mother hormone” DHEA, which balances sex hormones. Healthy adrenal glands also reduce cortisol levels in the body, which prevents the accumulation of abdominal fat (the most dangerous kind of fat). For more information see the product information on AdrenalStart on this website.

The greens complex is not present in NutriPods For Women, it has been replaced with the hormone balancing formula.

NutriPods For Women contains evening primrose oil (1000mg; 10% GLA), which is especially good for balancing female hormones rather than fish oil.

What are the ingredients in NutriPods for Women and what do they do?

Antioxidants:

Every day our bodies are assaulted by free radicals from toxins in our food, air and water. Stress, toxins and inadequate nutrition all weaken immune function. NutriPods for Women contains a wide array of anti-oxidants. NutriPods also contain the basic antioxidants: beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and quercetin.

Health Canada Vitamin C Monograph

Natural mixed carotenoids:

NutriPods for Women contains a complete array of mixed carotenoids. These include: alpha carotene, natural beta-carotene (mixed with carotenoids), lutein, lycopene, tocotrienols, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin. Mixed carotenoids can improve eye problems and skin disorders, enhance immunity and can protect against certain forms of cancer.

The Vitamin Complex:

NutriPods for Women contains the complete family of B vitamins to help fight stress and support mental and physical health. NutriPods contains the latest generation methylcobalamin form of B12, which is much easier for the body to absorb than the older cynocobalamin form. The B Complex contains sufficient levels of B6, B12 and folic acid to prevent homocysteine build up, which can cause cholesterol to trap in the arteries. The vitamin complex also includes: natural source vitamin E, choline, inositol, pantothenic acid and vitamin D.

The C Complex:

NutriPods for Women contains pure buffered vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) instead of the cheaper ascorbic acid. Buffered C is much easier for the body to absorb and stays active in the system for a greater duration of time. The C complex in the NutriPods also contains biologically active bioflavonoids (rutin, hesperidin, and quercitin). Rosehip seed extract has been added to the C-complex as a synergistic base for the formula. Vitamin C elevates glutathione levels, which enhances immune and detoxification functions. Both vitamin C and bioflavonoids are necessary to maintain and strengthen connective tissue, veins and capillaries.

Mineral Mix Complex:

NutriPods for Women uses coral, citrates and true patented Albion amino acid chelates for the mineral sources used in the Mineral Mix Complex. Citrates are known to be much easier for the body to absorb than other mineral sources such as oxides and carbonate. We believe all isolated vitamins and minerals should be taken at meal times. The Mineral Mix Complex offers so many minerals in appreciable quantities the Complex had to be broken into two capsules. When it comes to calcium magnesium ratios most supplements use the old ineffective ratio 2:1 calcium to magnesium, while NutriPods have a more effective and safer 1:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. We do this because magnesium deficiency is actually more common than calcium deficiency. The Mineral Mix Complex also provides 15mg of silica to support calcium assimilation. Also included in the Mineral Mix are appreciable amounts of chromium for blood sugar regulation, iodine for thyroid function, selenium, a powerful anti-cancer agent, and zinc, a critical immune supportive.

NutriBlend for Women

The NutriBlend for Women includes herbs with a traditional and scientific history of use for general balancing of female hormones, include black cohosh, vitex (chasteberry) and dandelion root.
