Top 5 Nutritional Supplement Recommendations For Women Over 40  
TOP # 

Tags: 

For women over 40, I recommend a multi-vitamin/multi-mineral combination, fish oil, Vitamin D3, hydrochloric acid, and combination of indole 3-carbinol, chrysin, isoflavones and resveratrol. See reasons for the multi-vitamin/multi-mineral, fish oil and Vitamin D3 above in Men under 40, and see reason for hydrochloric acid in Men over 40. Besides the benefits on estrogen metabolism of Indole 3-carbinol, chrysin, isoflavones and resveratrol, these indirectly provide hormonal balancing benefits for elderly women. Resveratrol, found in high amounts in red and purple grapes as well as other dark deeply colored fruits, also has very powerful antioxidant properties. These properties protect against the cumulative DNA damage over years of time, as is often seen in cell damage from aging. Chrysin, an extract from the blue passion flower (Passiflora caerulea), decreases the conversion of testosterone to estradiol (one of the 3 major estrogens). This is important in elderly women, not only for healthy balanced estrogen matabolism, but also because certain types of breast cancers are sensative to higher levels of estradiol. Isoflavones, derived from soy and other legumes, have shown promising benefits for decreasing the risk of certain cancers due to their effects on estrogen metabolism. The following are the recommended supplements for women over 40 with suggested brands:

1.	Fish oil with 2000 mg DHA and 3000 mg EPA (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Liquid Lemon Flavor, Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 1000 mg, Carlson Labs The Very Finest Fish Oil Lemon Flavor )
2.	Vitamin D3 in the cholecalciferol form, 4000 IU (Jarrow Formulas Vitamin D3 2500 IU, Carlson Labs Vitamin D 2000 IU )
3.	Multi-vitamin/multi-mineral combination (Enzymatic Therapy Doctor's Choice Multivitamins 45+ Women, Rainbow Light Just Once Women's One Multivitamin, Natural Factors Women's Plus MultiStart )
4.	Combination capsule(s) of Indole 3-Carbinol, Chrysin, Isoflavones and Resveratrol (New Chapter Broccolive Plus, Now Foods Indole-3-Carbinol with Flax Lignans )
5.	Hydrochloric acid (Twinlab Betaine HCL, Doctor's Best Betaine HCI Pepsin & Gentian Bitters ) - take at the beginning of your meal
