Tips for Women: How to Manage Age-Related Issues and Symptoms

What are normal signs of aging and what can we expect?

As we age, our bodies go through changes that can sometimes come with irritating symptoms. Especially as a woman, issues like menopause, hormonal imbalances and hot flashes may disrupt your life at times. 

While it’s important to remember that aging is natural and something to be celebrated rather than feared or dreaded, there are things you can do to make the process easier – starting with how you care for yourself. 

Let’s start with some of the more nagging symptoms that women often experience with age. 

Hot Flashes & Hormones

Hot flashes are commonly experienced during the transition into  menopause. They  can be intense feelings of heat and sweating, and are believed to be caused by changes in estrogen levels. *†

Common sensations of hot flashes include: *†

  • A sudden feeling of warmth spreading through your chest, neck and face

  • A flushed appearance with red, blotchy skin

  • Rapid heartbeat

  • Perspiration, mostly on your upper body

  • A chilled feeling as the hot flash lets up

  • Feelings of anxiety

Research suggests that hot flashes are your body’s way of reacting to slight changes in body temperature due to lower levels of estrogen. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce your risk of experiencing hot flashes during menopause. *†

Hair Loss

It’s common to experience a variety of changes, both physical and mental. Some of the most noticeable signs of aging include hair loss, wrinkles, and fatigue. *

During the menopause phase you might start to experience thinning hair thanks to lower hormone levels. But keep in mind this might not always be the case since hair loss can be tied to a variety of other things such as pregnancy, poor hair styling causing damage to your hair, and nutritional deficiencies. *†

In any case, it’s always best to check in with your health provider if this becomes a growing concern to find the best solution for your unique situation. *

Get Great Sleep: Rest has a big impact on weight, stress levels, and other important body functions.

Getting a good night’s sleep seems to make the day unfold so much easier. Not only do we feel more energized after waking from a restful sleep, but sleep has a significant impact on how our body functions throughout the rest of the day. *

Multiple studies show people who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to eat more and tend to choose higher-calorie foods with less nutritional benefit. *†

Simple things like darkening your bedroom and avoiding caffeine or spicy foods before bed can be a great start to improving your overall quality of sleep. *†

Our Sleep Health is easy to add into your nightly routine and has been shown to help support falling asleep, relaxation and calmness. *

Important Vitamins Women Should Take To Feel Their Best

When it comes to nutrients it can be difficult to know which ones to take, how often, and how much is right for you.

After all, daily habits have a big impact on what the body requires to operate at its highest level – things like diet, exercise, and the ever-growing “to-do list” all play a role in overall nutrition. But with so many supplements to choose from, we’ve made things a little easier by putting together some of our top picks. Let’s take a look…

Balance Hormones and Stress

Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. According to a March 2022 ValuePenguin survey, 92% of women feel stressed at least one day in a given week, up from 84% last year. Living with frequent stress can wreak havoc on the body, both physically and emotionally. Some common symptoms of stress might include:*†

  • Headaches
  • High blood pressure
  • Diminished sex drive
  • Weakened immune response… just to name a few

Luckily, there are natural solutions to help ease stress levels and support mental health.*

One of the most popular is called Ashwagandha, a well-known herb in the alternative medicine Ayurveda and has been used for thousands of years to relieve stress, increase energy levels, and improve concentration.* †

Rhodiola Extract is an herb whose roots are known as adaptogens(things that help your body adapt to stress when consumed) and is well known to help support things like anxiety, fatigue, and depression. †

Our Adrenal Health formula contains therapeutic amounts of both Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Extract for optimal potency and effectiveness.*

“Adrenal Health made a huge difference in my energy levels. Over the last 2-3 years, my longtime desiccated thyroid meds were re-formulated, and my blood results and energy were all over the place. Finally this year, I started using a new version of the desiccated thyroid meds, and blood results got better but still not quite balanced energy. Then a local natural health store recommended Emerald Adrenal, saying she always heard great results from her customers. And within days of taking this product, my energy levels were "back to normal." Balanced throughout the day. Yes! Thank you Emerald!”

Lasting Energy Levels

If you’re like most people, you probably think of B vitamins as being important for energy. And while they do play a role in keeping your energy levels up, that’s not all they do! In fact, B vitamins are essential for keeping your body healthy overall. Let’s take a closer look at some of the specific benefits of these nutrients.*

One of the most important things B vitamins do is help your body convert food into energy. They do this by helping to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins so that your cells can use them for fuel. B vitamins also play a role in keeping your nervous system functioning properly. They help to produce myelin, which is the substance that covers and protects your nerve cells.*†

B vitamins are also important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. They help your body produce collagen, which is a protein that gives these tissues their strength and structure.*

Our Vitamin B Complex, B-Healthy, has therapeutic amounts of Coenzymated Methyl Folate and the activated forms of B Vitamins to help Energy and Stress-Related Fatigue.*

I have been taking this B-Healthy supplement for almost a month (I wanted to wait to write a review). I feel better & have more energy than I used to. I also noticed my hair is growing faster & so are my nails, they are stronger and haven't been breaking as much. I didn't take it for that reason, but it's an added benefit for sure!

Overall Health

Did you know that women have different nutritional needs than men? This is why it’s important for women to take a multivitamin specifically designed for them.*

In fact, all women can benefit from taking a multivitamin on a daily basis. Multivitamins provide your body with essential nutrients that you may not be getting enough of from your diet. This can be especially important if you don’t have a varied diet or if you’re not eating as many fruits and vegetables as you should.*†

One of the main benefits of taking a women’s multivitamin is to help to fill in the nutritional gaps that are often found in our diets. Even if you eat a healthy diet, there are still nutrients that your body may not be getting enough of. By taking a multivitamin, you can ensure that your body is getting the important nutrients it needs to function properly.*

Our Women’s 1-Daily Multi was formulated for the unique health needs of Women, including Albion® Chelated Minerals, Antioxidants such as PureWay-C® (12-hour Retention), and Sunflower-based Vitamin E (Soy-Free), extra Vitamin B6, extra Calcium, Coenzymated B’s and Methylated Folate. *

For women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and looking for added nutrition, our Prenatal 1-Daily Multi is formulated for the unique health needs of pregnant and lactating women, including Antioxidants such as PureWay-C® (12-hour Retention) and Sunflower-based Vitamin E (Soy-Free), Albion® Chelated Gentle Iron, Coenzymated B’s and a high-potency serving of Methylated Folate.*
