Nutritional support for vegans and vegetarians

Wellwoman Vegan has been specially developed for women who are following a vegetarian or vegan diet. With 24 nutrients, it provides unique vegetarian and vegan support in the Wellwoman range, the UK’s No1 supplement brand for women. Wellwoman Vegan has been officially approved by both the Vegetarian Society and the Vegan Society.

Wellwoman Vegan has been officially registered with the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society.

There are a number of reasons why women following a vegetarian or vegan diet may need to safeguard their nutritional intake.

Lower intake levels of zinc in the diet can be more common for vegetarians. Zinc is scientifically proven to contribute to the normal function of the immune system, as well as for the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

The body needs vitamin B12 to support normal red blood cell formation and to support the immune system. It’s usually found naturally in foods from animal sources, therefore a reliable supplement is often recommended if you are a vegan or vegetarian.

Specialist nutrition just for women

More people are turning to vegetarian and vegan diets as a lifestyle choice, for a multitude of reasons including health benefits and moral and ethical concerns.

According to research the number of vegans in Great Britain quadrupled between 2014 and 2019. In 2019 there were 600,000 vegans, or 1.16% of the population; 276,000 (0.46%) in 2016; and 150,000 (0.25%) in 2014. (Sources: Ipsos Mori surveys, commissioned by The Vegan Society, 2016 and 2019, and The Food & You surveys, organised by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the National Centre for Social Science Research (Natcen).

YouGov tracker data since 2019 (England, Scotland and Wales) over the last two and a half years puts the size of the vegan population at about 2-3% and the vegetarian population at about 5-7%. (Source: YouGov 2022).

Furthermore research by Ipsos found that 46% of Brits aged 16-75 are considering reducing their intake of animal products in the future. (Source: IPOS March 2022).

Female Health

Women generally have higher iron requirement than men, partly on account of blood losses during the menstrual cycle. The most common source of iron is red meat, hence when following a vegetarian or vegan diet it’s important to make sure you receive enough iron from alternative sources. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, an important consideration during the monthly cycle.

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in animal products, including fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products. Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods, so it’s also important to ensure you get enough. Vitamin B12 contributes to red blood cell formation.

Wellwoman Vegan has been specially developed to provide higher levels of iron and vitamin B12 (when compared to Wellwoman Original).

The Wellwoman Vegan formulation provides vitamin B6 which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. It also includes 400µg folic acid which contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, which is important if you're planning a pregnancy or there's a chance you might get pregnant.

General Health And Wellbeing

Vitamin D plays an important role in the body for all round health and wellness. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and the normal function of the immune system. The most common sources of vitamin D are from non-vegan sources in the form of D3. I.e. oily fish, butter and egg yolk. Wellwoman Vegan provides 10µg of vegetarian and vegan vitamin D2, the exact level as recommended by the UK Department of Health.

Every vegan needs a reliable source of iodine in their diet. Your body uses iodine contribute to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. These hormones control how fast your cells work. In the UK, the recommended iodine intake for adults is 150 micrograms per day. There is no easy way of knowing how much iodine is in plant foods. While seaweed is a rich source, the amount of iodine in a plant food varies depending on how much is in the soil the plant is grown in. Wellwoman Vegan provides exactly 150 µg iodine.

Wellwoman Vegan includes Evening Primrose and Starflower Oil in a unique powder form that allows a tablet format, eliminating the need for a capsule shell.
