Specialist Nutrition for Women

Wellwoman Vegan has been specially developed for women who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. With 24 nutrients, it offers unique support for vegetarians and vegans within the Wellwoman range, the UK's leading supplement brand for women. Wellwoman Vegan has been officially approved by both the Vegetarian Society and the Vegan Society.

Immune System Support

There are several reasons why women following a vegetarian or vegan diet may need to protect their nutrient intake. Lower dietary intake levels of zinc can be more common for vegetarians. Zinc is scientifically proven to contribute to the normal function of the immune system, as well as to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails.

Contributes to Normal Energy Release

Leading a hectic lifestyle, juggling work, family, and social commitments can often leave you in need of extra support. Wellwoman Vegan contains vitamin C, iron, copper, and iodine, which contribute to normal energy release. Iodine also contributes to normal cognitive function. The formula also provides folate, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, helping you stay on top throughout the day.

Supports Skin, Hair, and Nails

We all want to do our best for our health and appearance. Vitabiotics knows that what you put into your body has a significant impact on your internal health and external appearance. Vitamin C is a cofactor for collagen synthesis, the substance that keeps skin supple. Wellwoman Vegan provides vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. The formula also includes selenium and zinc, which help maintain normal hair and nails, and iodine, which contributes to normal skin.

Approved by the Vegetarian and Vegan Societies

Wellwoman Vegan has been officially registered with the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society. There are several reasons why women following a vegetarian or vegan diet may need to protect their nutrient intake. Lower dietary intake levels of zinc can be more common for vegetarians. Zinc is scientifically proven to contribute to the normal function of the immune system, as well as to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails.

Research on Wellwoman Vegan

According to research, it is important for women following a vegetarian or vegan diet to get enough iron and vitamin B12. Women generally have higher iron needs than men, partially due to blood loss during the menstrual cycle. The most common source of iron is red meat, which is why it is important to ensure adequate iron intake from alternative sources when following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, an important factor during the monthly cycle.

Specialist Nutrition Just for Women

More people are turning to vegetarian and vegan diets as a lifestyle choice for a variety of reasons including health benefits and moral and ethical considerations. Wellwoman Vegan has been developed to provide higher levels of iron and vitamin B12 (compared to Wellwoman Original). The formula also provides vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. It also includes 400µg of folic acid, which contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, important if you are planning a pregnancy or if there is a chance you could become pregnant.

General Health and Wellbeing

Vitamin D plays an important role in the body for general health and wellbeing. Vitamin D helps maintain normal bones and teeth as well as normal immune system function. The most common sources of vitamin D are from non-vegan sources in the form of D3, i.e., oily fish, butter, and egg yolk. Wellwoman Vegan provides 10µg of vegetarian and vegan vitamin D2, exactly the level recommended by the UK's Department of Health.

Every vegan needs a reliable source of iodine in their diet. Your body uses iodine to help produce normal thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. These hormones control how quickly your cells work. In the UK, the recommended iodine intake for adults is 150 micrograms per day. There is no easy way to know how much iodine is in plant-based foods. While seaweed is a rich source, the amount of iodine in plant-based food varies depending on how much is in the soil where the plant is grown. Wellwoman Vegan provides exactly 150 µg of iodine.

This is How We Define Vegetarianism and Veganism

We hear these terms used everywhere, but what do they really mean?

A vegetarian is someone who lives on a diet of non-animal foods, with or without dairy products, honey, and/or eggs. A vegetarian does not eat foods that consist of or have been produced with products that consist of or are created from any part of a living or dead animal. (Vegetarian Society, 2017).

Following a vegan diet is stricter. The Vegan Society describes veganism as “A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practical - all forms of exploitation of and cruelty to animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals, and the environment. In dietary terms, it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals." (Vegan Society, 2017)

Tips for Vegetarians and Vegans

A healthy and balanced vegetarian diet should be low in saturated fat and rich in whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

It is recommended to eat at least five portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables each day. 'Eat the rainbow' - choose fruits and vegetables in different colors.

Vegetarians and vegans may lack certain nutrients, those to pay particular attention to include protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.

Protein has many important functions in the body and is necessary for growth and maintenance. Vegetarian and vegan sources of protein include nuts, beans, legumes, and soy products.

Zinc is needed in the body to support the immune system. Some vegetarian and vegan sources of zinc include beans, whole grains, nuts, and soy products.

Iron is necessary for the body to prevent iron deficiency or even anemia. Vegetarian sources of iron can be found in dried fruits, whole grains, soy products, and most dark green leafy vegetables.
