Women often do not consume enough folic-acid, vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, and iron in their diet; therefore, supplements containing these nutrients are of great interest for women's health.
Additionally, supplements such as ginger, lavender, magnesium, and St. John’s wort have been studied for reducing discomfort from various women’s health conditions. Finally, certain supplements are of interest for women’s health due to their estrogenic and other hormonal effects. Examples of these include: black cohosh, red clover, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), evening primrose oil, vitex agnus-castus, and soy isoflavones.
