Five Great Natural Health Products for Women

Earlier this month, we celebrated International Women’s Day, and this year it’s all about #BalanceforBetter. While we continue to fight for a better, balanced world, it’s good to remember that a healthy balance within our bodies is just as important. Let’s take a closer look at 5 of the best natural health products women can take daily to make sure we’re in great shape and remain strong inside and out!

1. O2B Collagen+ and O2B French Collagen

While appearances aren’t at the top of our priority list, we feel great when we look and feel good. Thankfully, we have collagen to support that. Collagen is the ingredient in our skin that keeps it firm and elastic. However, as we age, the amount of collagen our body naturally produces declines. This means we need to get it from other sources. For this reason, it’s very common to get collagen in the form of a capsule, powder or cream in a range of ‘beauty from within’ products.

We have two popular products containing collagen to support skin integrity, form and elasticity, plus the strength of hair and nails:

• O2B Collagen+ is combines collagen with a range of other minerals and vitamins to support our connective tissue, and
• O2B French Collagen offers a high dose in the form of an elegant powder with a hint of vanilla.

2. O2B Macafemme 

Women often feel the most different when they’re transitioning into menopause. This can be a rough process, but it doesn’t have to be with the right support, diet and lifestyle.  O2B Macafemme is a maca root preparation containing vital ingredients to support energy and stamina during perimenopausal and menopausal phases. It is dense with nutrients such as amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Maca is commonly used to support health and well-being during perimenopause as it contains phytosterols for the endocrine system to balance hormone levels.

3. O2B Cranberry+

Unfortunately, lower urinary tract infections (UTI) are very common in women. Fact: according to Health Navigator NZ, approximately 50 per cent of women will have at least one UTI case in their lifetime.

If you’re particularly prone to them, a great supplement to use daily is O2B’s Cranberry+. It combines the powerful components in cranberries with Buchu, Uva Ursi and Vitamin C to support normal pH balance in the urinary tract. The key ingredient in this one-a-day supplement is cranberries. If you’ve ever sat on your couch with a heat pack on your bladder and a big bottle of cranberry juice in hand, trying to fight a UTI, you’ll already be aware that cranberries are commonly used to fight them. Cranberries are a rich source of Proanthocyanidins (PACs), which are what make cranberries such a rich colour. They are also what provides them with antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-adhesive properties.

Uva Ursi is a North American cranberry and Buchu leaves have a long history of being used to support good bladder health.

4. O2B Evening Primrose Oil 

O2B Evening Primrose Oil 160s is a rich supplement that does wonders supporting hormonal balance and healthy skin. Evening Primrose Oil comes from the seed of the evening primrose plant. It has some of the highest levels of essential fatty acid you can find in the plant world and contains a huge number of amino acids, among many other vitamins and minerals. This powerhouse of nutrition promotes skin renewal, supports joint mobility and is used by the body to support hormonal and menstrual health.

5. O2B Multi-Vitamin+

No matter what age or state of health you are in, a good multivitamin is always good to take once a day. O2B’s Multi Vitamin+ is an excellent blend of vitamins and minerals that we may not get from our everyday diets, or even from the soil plants are grown in, all packed into one handy capsule. It can support how our body reacts to stress, our energy levels, boost our immunity and prevent nutritional deficiencies.

We live in an incredibly busy world and many of our day-to-day lifestyles cause us to require certain nutrients that our lifestyles sometimes can’t afford to provide. Not only that, lack of sleep can mean we need more nutrients than what we get in a normal diet. Many of our diets also result in a lack of nutrients from food, causing us to need it from another source. Low-carb diets are hugely popular for weight loss, but they can result in a lack of vitamins such as vitamin B, C, Magnesium and Iron that our body needs to be getting daily. Women who don’t eat meat or dairy products often find that they lack vitamin B and iron and need to obtain these nutrients from another source.
