As with any decade in life, being in your 40s can feel like a time of change. You’ve had your 20s and 30s to experiment, get organized, and learn about yourself and the world. Now, you can use those experiences to live your best life in your 40s. How? One way is to start your forties WELL by supporting your ever-changing body and mind with key vitamins and minerals for wellness. Let’s get into some top nutrients for women over 40 and how you can count on New Chapter’s masterfully crafted supplements to help!
Essential Nutrients for Women Over 40 & How to Get Them
Who doesn’t want to get better with age, like fine wine? One of the easiest things you can do to support wellness over time is to include certain nutrients in your regular routine. In the 40-49 age range, you can prioritize nutrients that benefit cardiovascular, bone, muscle, and cellular health.
Key Nutrients Women Over 40 Need
The right handful of vitamins, minerals, and Omega fatty acids can fill nutrient gaps and help you feel your best today and tomorrow. Nature has an amazing way of providing exactly what our body needs. New Chapter is here to connect you to the finest of these nutrients for aging women—from crucial elements growing deep in the sea to essential vitamins for women 40+ that are unlocked with the ancient power of fermentation.
How Supplements Support Optimal Nutrition
Eating a variety of healthy foods is a great way to get many of the critical vitamins for women. But honestly… nobody eats a perfectly well-rounded diet every day. That’s where supplements can help. Taking a high-quality supplement that’s formulated to work with your body can be an excellent nutritional insurance policy. Not all supplements are made equal though. New Chapter is fiercely committed to bringing you tested, trusted, third-party validated quality for all of your dietary supplement needs. This list of New Chapter’s supplements for women 40+ is curated to support strong bones, muscle recovery, heart health, and cellular function.
Vitamin D for bone health & heart health
Vitamin D3 supports strong, healthy bones. D3 helps the body to use calcium effectively by supporting proper calcium digestion and absorption in the intestines. That helps calcium get to your bones—where you want it! In addition to helping to maintain bone health for women, Vitamin D3 also supports heart health, muscle function, and healthy immune response.*
Dial up your D3 with tablets or gummies from New Chapter:
Fermented Vitamin D3 one-daily tablets deliver 2,000 IU of organic Vitamin D for bones, heart, and teeth support.*
Strength Support Vitamin D3+ gummies are made with bioactive D3 in a 100% delicious form—made with 72% less sugar than the leading vitamin D gummy.†
Magnesium for muscle, bone, heart support & more
If there’s one ingredient that’s perfect for mid-life, it might be this one. Magnesium supports multiple functions of the body, like muscle recovery, bone health, heart health, nerve transmission, and cellular energy.* Many Americans don’t get enough magnesium, partly due to declining nutrient density in our soil. Fortunately, it’s easy to add Magnesium to your day in supplement form. New Chapter takes care to formulate with Magnesium bisglycinate that’s 2.5x better absorbed‡, as well as full-spectrum sea-sourced Magnesium that includes other trace minerals.
Match with your perfect Magnesium! Try one of these blends:
Magnesium + Ashwagandha is crafted with Magnesium and the herbal adaptogen Ashwagandha to make it one of our favorite mineral + relaxation supplements for women.*
Magnesium + Selenium & Zinc combines restorative Magnesium with 100% Daily Value of Selenium to protect cells from damage and fermented Zinc to help you bounce back after exercise.*
Magnesium Complex triples up on this mag-nificent mineral in forms that work best without digestive disruption, delivering sea-sourced Magnesium, Magnesium bisglycinate, and fermented Magnesium for cellular energy, bone, muscle, nerve, and heart support.*
Calcium for bone density
Did you know that both men and women start to lose bone around age 30? But only women have the added risk of rapid bone loss during their menopause transition (the years around their final menstrual period). So, prioritize investing in your bone bank now with high-quality calcium to help protect bone strength and mineralization! New Chapter offers several calcium products, all paired with Vitamin D3 for proper calcium absorption.
Stay stronger for longer with New Chapter organic plant calcium supplements:
Bone Strength Take Care™ Slim Tablets delivers a clinical-strength dose of organic plant calcium, sustainably harvested from Iceland. Calcium helps reduce osteoporosis risk§ and supports strong, healthy bones.* This blend also supports heart health, joint function, and mobility.*
Bone Strength Take Care™ Tiny Tabs™ provide the same potent and effective formula in even smaller tablets, for those seeking truly easy-to-swallow organic plant calcium.
Omega-3s for heart, joint & skin health
The human body needs certain “good fats” to function properly, and these include Omega-3 fatty acids. Specifically, the Omega-3s called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are essential for brain function, eye health, joint support, and cardiovascular wellness.* These Omegas are not produced efficiently by the body, so you should be consuming them in food or dietary supplements. New Chapter has two types of Omega-3s to choose from—Wildly Pure™ Alaskan Salmon oil or 100% vegan fermented microalgae.
Optimize your Omega-3 routine!
Wholemega™ is the gold standard in fish oil. It’s fresh-pressed oil from sustainably caught Wild Alaskan Salmon and clinically studied to help retain healthy triglyceride levels.*
Wholemega™ Tiny Caps™ deliver the same pure salmon oil formula in miniature, easy-to-swallow 500 mg softgels.
Vegan Omega-3 Complex delivers DHA & EPA straight from the naturally potent, plant-based source: sustainably cultivated microalgae.*
Folate for cellular function
Many people think of folate as a pregnancy-related nutrient, and that’s true. But did you know folate has several other important benefits that make it a great choice for women over 40? Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and proper brain function. Additionally, folate helps in reducing homocysteine levels in the blood, which is important for heart health. Women over 40 may also benefit from folate supplements to support their body’s need for cell and tissue repair. It’s generally recommended to get 400 micrograms (mcg) of dietary folate equivalents (DFE) daily.
Find your folate in New Chapter’s family of essential vitamins for women:
Every Woman™’s One Daily Multivitamin 40+ delivers 50% Daily Value of folate, including methylfolate (the most active form of folate).
Women’s Multivitamin Gummies deliver 400 mcg DFE of folate in 100% delicious gummy form, including methylfolate.
Women’s Advanced Multivitamin is a 2-tablet formula with higher levels of key nutrients, including 100% Daily Value of folate.
