We are all about you feeling replenished. While some health professionals like to claim that we are all getting our basic nutritional needs met - this is based on the statistics of an entire adult population, not based on women who are in the thick of work, family, and social expectations. There are a few key nutrients most commonly depleted in women and difficult to find in our diets. Let us assure you, the research shows, we women are in need of nutritional supplementation or a personal chef. Women need support to truly nourish their systems.
We do not accept that simply meeting bare minimum nutritional needs that prevent deficiency, qualifies as a marker of good health.
To think clearly, to relieve exhaustion, and to mitigate pain, all require more than the bare minimum nutrients. The trick is having a qualified medical team that knows the delicate balance between thriving and overdosing.
We’ve packed Nourish with some of the best nutrients that support your body’s daily needs. It might seem like a run-of-the-mill multi that you could find anywhere, but the ingredients are specifically blended to take on that woman-lode.
Our medical team ensures that each ingredient form is chosen for its high bioavailability and dosed for its unique effect on women’s health. On top of that, all our formulas are third-party tested, and vegan, with no toxins, hormones, or fillers. EVER. All the ingredients in Nourish are special which you can read about here, and let us tell you about a few that stand out:
Omega-3 - Omega-3 fats are called essential fats, and we at hey freya, are all about getting the essentials. Essentials are the building blocks to feeling better, and the essential fats, we get very little of in our modern diets. How are we meant to feel better when we haven’t even met our baseline needs? Often supplemented from fish oil, hey freya omega-3 is sourced from algae (where do you think the fish got it from?) and in powder form - which ensures no oily capsules, or fishy burps! Algal Omega-3’s are high in DHA which is incredibly important for cognitive function and regulating inflammation. In selecting the one fat to supplement in women, Algal DHA is the winner; powerhouse essential fats, vegan, planet friendly, and sustainably sourced.
Vitamin D - Receiving all of the vitamin D we need directly from being in the sun would be lovely. The truth is that many of us are doing other things when the sun is calling. Vitamin D is critical to women’s hormone balance (hot tip: Vitamin D was misnamed as a “vitamin”. It’s actually a hormone that our bodies create from exposure to the sun, we require it, and most women do not make enough for our needs. It’s key to reproductive health, mood, immunity, and bone health. We make sure we use the form that’s most useful to your body, Vitamin D3, and cover your bases - because we know that weekend sunshine just isn’t enough.
Selenium - Our most heroic of all the metals. It is important to women’s hormonal health and also acts as a strong antioxidant - helping us to feel less sluggish. In food, it is found mostly in Brazil nuts, but that’s not a cue to just go pounding back those nuts - selenium lives in the land of Goldilocks, where too much is incredibly toxic, and too little impacts your thyroid, and immune system, skin, hair, nails, and general feelings of wellness. That’s why we work with experts in nutritional science to ensure we’ve got the right dose of selenium for women’s health (and so that popping a Brazil nut here and there won’t send you over the edge).
