Equi-Fem is a broad-spectrum female multi-vitamin formula with added iron and copper. It also Includes vitamins, minerals, botanicals and organ/glandular specific support with known nutrient synergist for female health.
While it is well established that diet alone typically does not supply nutrients in sufficient quantities to support optimal health, it is also recognised that generic multiple vitamin formulas may not supply the targeted nutrition needed to support the unique needs of women.
As a result of cyclic hormonal changes, many women not only experience depletions of several key nutrients, but they can experience a variety of irritating symptoms that have collectively been referred to as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). While PMS has been described in the medical literature since 1931, its aetiological factors remain poorly understood. Progesterone deficiency, prolactin excess, thyroid hypofunction, antidiuretic hormone excess, alterations in endorphin activity, serotonin alterations, prostaglandin activity, and vitamin deficiencies have all been postulated as potential PMS potentiators/ exacerbators.
Biotics Research carefully formulated Equi-Fem™ to be a broad-spectrum multi-vitamin formula designed to provide support for those with fluctuating hormone levels and the symptoms that coincide with them.
In addition to providing comprehensive vitamin and mineral support, Equi-Fem™ also supplies glandular support for adrenal and pituitary hypothalamic function as well as directly targeting ovarian and uterine tissues. It also contains bioflavonoids, FRAC®, L-Tyrosine and digestive enzymes which round off this formula and make it an excellent choice for supporting the unique health challenges of women.
