The Solgar Formula VM Prime for Women is a dietary supplement in tablet form, designed for women over 50 years old. The daily dose of three tablets provides, among other things, 400mg of vitamin C, 268mg of alpha-tocopherol vitamin E, 500μg of vitamin B12, 25μg of vitamin D3, 45μg of vitamin K2 and 15mg of zinc, together with calcium, magnesium, selenium, chromium, copper, manganese, iodine and molybdenum. The package contains 90 tablets, in a smaller size for easier swallowing.
It is aimed at postmenopausal women who want a comprehensive coverage of vitamins and minerals in one formulation, instead of many separate supplements.
After menopause, several nutritional parameters change at the same time. The absorption of vitamin B12 from food tends to decrease with age, as it is related to gastric secretion, which is why the formula contains it in a very high content, 500μg per daily dose. At the same time, bone care becomes more important, so the composition includes calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2.
Iron needs, on the other hand, decrease when menstruation stops, and the table of nutritional elements of the preparation does not list iron. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and to maintaining the normal state of bones*, while vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to the normal blood clotting process*.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, the company describes the formula as follows:
The above statements are attributed to the manufacturer. It should be noted that the company's presentation also attributes some benefits to iron, which does not appear in the nutritional information table of the preparation. The herbal ingredients, such as soybean sprouts and lutein from safflower flowers, do not carry approved claims.**
It suits women after menopause who want a comprehensive coverage of vitamins and minerals. It suits women who monitor their bone health and are looking for a combination of calcium, magnesium, vitamins D and K. It suits those who feel tired and want to cover their B vitamins. Finally, it suits women who no longer need supplemental iron. It is not intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment.
