Women's Health
Whether you're planning a pregnancy or covering common gaps, the picks are here. Prenatal vitamins, iron, folate, and women's wellness supplements.
Iron (Bisglycinate)
Treatment of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia; restoring hemoglobin, ferritin, and red blood cell production
Prenatal Multivitamin
Provides essential nutrients for fetal development and maternal health during preconception, pregnancy, and lactation.
Folate / Methylfolate
Pregnancy health (neural tube defect prevention), homocysteine reduction, methylation support, mood and mental health
Evening Primrose Oil
Cyclical breast pain (mastalgia), menopausal hot flashes, and atopic dermatitis support via gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)
Fenugreek
Modest blood sugar and HbA1c reductions; mixed signals for testosterone, libido, and lactation support
DHEA
Hormone replacement in adrenal insufficiency, with weaker evidence for mood, libido, and bone density in older adults
Inositol
PCOS metabolic and ovulatory support, gestational diabetes prevention, anxiety and panic disorder
Tribulus Terrestris
Traditional aphrodisiac herb marketed as a testosterone booster; controlled trials in healthy men show no T-raising effect, with a modest libido signal in postmenopausal women
DIM (Diindolylmethane)
Shifts estrogen metabolism toward the 2-hydroxyestrone pathway in human trials; clinical-endpoint benefits are not yet established
Red Raspberry Leaf
Traditional herbal pregnancy tonic taken in late pregnancy as a uterine tea, with thin and mixed clinical evidence behind the folk reputation
Vitex (Chasteberry)
Standardized vitex extract supports premenstrual comfort and cyclic breast tenderness through mild prolactin reduction at the pituitary
Myo-Inositol
Supports normal ovarian function, insulin sensitivity, and cycle regularity in women with PCOS, with secondary use for IVF egg quality and gestational diabetes prevention
D-Chiro-Inositol
Insulin pathway and ovarian support, almost always better delivered as part of a 40:1 myo-inositol to D-chiro-inositol ratio than as DCI alone
D-Mannose
Studied for urinary tract function support in women with a history of recurrent uncomplicated UTIs, with biologically plausible anti-adhesion mechanism but mixed and recently more negative trial evidence
Cranberry (PAC-Standardized)
Studied for urinary tract health support, particularly the reduction of recurrent UTIs in women, children, and patients after bladder procedures, when standardized to deliver around 36mg of A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs) per day
Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa / Cimicifuga racemosa)
Standardized isopropanolic black cohosh extract (Remifemin / iCR / BNO 1055) supports comfort during the menopause transition, with the best data for hot flash frequency and intensity over 8-12 weeks
Sunflower Lecithin
Soy-free phospholipid blend (phosphatidylcholine, PI, PE, PA) traditionally used by breastfeeding women under lactation-consultant guidance for recurrent plugged-duct comfort; also a food-grade emulsifier and a modest dietary source of choline.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Supports normal prostate function and urinary flow in older men, and supports normal bladder function in adults with overactive-bladder symptoms.
Iodine
Essential substrate for thyroid hormone production; supports normal thyroid function and fetal neurodevelopment during pregnancy and lactation
