Opti-Women by Optimum Nutrition

.

How does this product vary from the competition on the market today? Optimum Nutrition designed Opti-Women specifically for active women who feel the strain of a fast-paced environment and are looking for supplementation to get nutrients that are necessary to the stress we heap on our body during a workout.

How Does Opti-Women Work

Opti-Women is a blend of 40 different active ingredients, including 23 vitamins and minerals as well as 17 specialty ingredients such as herbal remedies and amino acids.

While al serving of Opti-Women will provide you with over 100% of your daily value of all vitamins included, the supplement focuses on especially high concentration of Vitamins B6, B12, C, E and Thiamin.

Vitamins B6 and B12 are important to our overall health, as B6 helps the body create antibodies for the immune system to ward off infection and also assists in the growth and production of cells. B12 is also a vital source of cellular reproduction and maintenance.

Vitamin C is important to athletes since as an immune booster, it supports our immune system under stress and also can speed up healing and aid recovery time.

Vitamin E is beneficial to athletes as an antioxidant that can decrease oxidative damage in muscle tissue during a workout.

Thiamin, or B1, is used by the body to process fats, carbohydrates and protein. Thiamin deficiencies can lead to muscle weakness, stiffness, exhaustion and even cognitive difficulties such as memory loss and depression.

Opti-Women also includes a slew of different minerals that are key to staying fit. When you sweat, minerals such as Calcium and Zinc can be lost through perspiration. While Calcium is important for stronger bones, female athletes are suggested to consume higher amounts of Calcium because it also is important for muscle contraction and fending of muscle cramping.

Zinc is another important mineral that helps convert food to fuel and will aid you after a workout to help repair damaged muscle tissue. Another extremely important mineral for women is Iron. Iron is lost during blood loss, and so women lose Iron on a monthly basis. To compound that, the more you train, the more red blood cells are formed and the more Iron is needed to prevent exhaustion from anemic fatigue.

What We Like About Opti-Women

For active women that are looking for a multivitamin that sticks with them throughout workouts (whether it be at the gym, on the field or on a bike), this multivitamin has key ingredients to keep you going and feeling great.

It’s available at a pretty reasonable cost of $21.99 for a monthly supply of 60 capsules (2 suggested daily) and may also be found online for lower sale prices.

What We Dislike About Opti-Women

The one concern is the use of Isoflavones, including Soy Isoflavones. Soy is a relatively debated topic these days with some physicians suggesting it’s not a healthy long term ingredient.

Final Thoughts

For active women are looking to maintain a healthy body while reaching peak performance – we think Opti-Women is a great option.
