Vitamins for Women
Vitamins and minerals play an integral role in the normal functioning of the body. Whether you are looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle or want to improve your digestion or sleep, certain supplements provide a quick and easy way of acquiring the necessary vitamins and minerals. As well as consuming essential vitamins like iron, calcium and vitamin C, the body can benefit from a whole host of superfoods which often provide a rich and varied source of nutrients.
Our diverse range of vitamins for women target general health and wellbeing such as the Active Women Multivitamin, as well as specific aspects of women's health such as the Active Women for Hair, Skin and Nails. Many of our vitamins, like our Active Women Beauty Sleep tablets are suitable for vegans meaning women with specific dietary requirements can still acquire the nutrients they need.

Finding the right multivitamins for women means cutting through the noise and getting what your body actually needs. This range covers everything from comprehensive A-Z multivitamin blends to targeted options like iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B12 — all formulated with the nutrients that matter most for women's daily routines. Whether you're looking for a simple daily women's multivitamin or something more specific, there's a format and formula here to fit.
Every product is developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, drawing on the latest nutritional science to deliver well-dosed, straightforward supplements. The range spans tablets, capsules, and softgels — so you're not locked into one format. From vitamins for women built around everyday wellness to specialist formulas targeting hair, skin, nails, and beyond, it's all in one place.
Who Vitamins for Women Are For
These products are for women who want to take a considered approach to their nutrition. Maybe your diet isn't hitting every micronutrient target every day — that's true for most people. A well-chosen women's multivitamin fills the gaps without overcomplicating things. Whether you're training regularly, managing a busy schedule, or simply making sure the basics are covered, there's something in this range that fits your routine.
The range also works well for women with specific nutritional priorities. Iron is one of the most commonly under-consumed minerals in women's diets — Iron & Folic Acid Tablets address that directly, with iron contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue1 and to normal red blood cell formation2. Others might focus on bone health, skin, or hormonal balance — all of which are addressed through specific products in the range.
When to Use Vitamins for Women
Most vitamins for women work best taken consistently at the same time each day — many people find mornings with food the easiest habit to build. Fat-soluble vitamins like D and E are absorbed better alongside a meal containing some fat, so pairing your supplement with breakfast makes practical sense. Water-soluble B vitamins and vitamin C can be taken at any time, though food generally helps with tolerance.
Timing can also depend on what you're targeting. If you're covering general nutritional gaps, a daily women's multivitamin taken every morning is all you need. Standalone minerals like calcium and magnesium are often taken in the evening. The most important thing is consistency — a supplement taken daily at a convenient time will always outperform one taken sporadically at the "ideal" moment.
Vitamins for Women Benefits
Targeted Nutrient Coverage
Women's vitamin formulas are built around the micronutrients most relevant to female physiology. Key ingredients like iron, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B6 are selected at meaningful doses — not token amounts. Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body3 and normal cognitive function4, while vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones5 and the normal function of the immune system6.
Immune System and Cell Function
Several key nutrients in the range directly contribute to normal immune function. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system7 and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress8. Vitamin D plays a similar role, with established contributions to normal immune function6. These aren't fringe benefits — they're foundational to how the body operates day to day.
Energy and Psychological Wellbeing
B vitamins are central to how the body manages energy at a cellular level. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism9 and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue10. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological function11 and to the regulation of hormonal activity12 — a particularly relevant benefit for women across different life stages.
Skin, Hair, and Nails
Several formulas in the range include nutrients that play a direct role in maintaining normal skin, hair, and nails. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin13, while biotin and zinc are key inclusions in targeted Hair, Skin & Nails Capsules. These nutrients work at a structural level, not just cosmetically.

FAQs
What are the best vitamins for women?
The best vitamins for women depend on individual diet and lifestyle, but the most commonly prioritised nutrients include iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium. A comprehensive women's multivitamin covers most of these in a single daily dose — the A-Z Multivitamin is a strong starting point, providing a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals with vitamin B12 contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue10.
What's the difference between a women's multivitamin and a standard multivitamin?
A women's multivitamin is formulated with nutrients at levels that reflect common nutritional gaps in women's diets — typically higher in iron, folate, and vitamin D compared to a generic formula. The Multivitamins for Women formula includes vitamins D, E, B5, and calcium, and is designed specifically with women's nutritional priorities in mind. Standard multivitamins aren't tailored in the same way and may not address these specific needs as effectively.
How do I choose the right women's multivitamin?
Start by identifying what you're most likely to be missing from your diet. If your iron intake is low, a targeted Iron & Folic Acid Tablet makes sense alongside a general multivitamin. If you want to cover all bases in one go, an A-Z formula is the most efficient option. Format matters too — if swallowing large tablets is an issue, capsule options are available across the range.
Can women take vitamin supplements every day?
Daily supplementation is exactly how these products are intended to be used. Consistency is what makes the difference — occasional supplementation doesn't build the same nutritional foundation as a daily habit. Most vitamins for women are designed for everyday use, and taking them at the same time each day (ideally with food) makes it easy to build into your routine.
What vitamins are women commonly deficient in?
Iron, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are among the most frequently under-consumed nutrients in women's diets. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell formation2 and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue1, making it especially worth monitoring. Vitamin D is difficult to obtain from food alone, particularly in lower-sunlight months, and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones5 and immune function6.
Do vitamins for women come in different formats?
The range is available in tablets, capsules, and softgels depending on the product. Some formulas, like the A-Z Multivitamin, come in both tablet and capsule options so you can choose whichever suits you. Softgels are used for oil-based supplements like Evening Primrose Oil, where that format best preserves the ingredient. Having multiple formats available makes it straightforward to find something that fits your preference.
Who developed the vitamins for women at Myprotein?
All products are developed by Myprotein's expert nutritionists, who select ingredients and dosages based on current nutritional science. The goal is to deliver well-dosed supplements that make a genuine contribution to daily nutrition — not products that list ingredients at token levels just to appear on the label.
Are there vitamins for women that cover skin, hair, and nails?
Hair, Skin & Nails Capsules are specifically formulated for this purpose, combining biotin, zinc, and vitamin C into a targeted daily supplement. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin13, while zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair14 and normal nails15. These nutrients work at a structural level and are among the most researched for this area.
Is iron important in a women's vitamin supplement?
Iron is one of the most important minerals for women and one of the most commonly under-consumed. It contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body3, normal cognitive function4, and the normal function of the immune system16. Iron & Folic Acid Tablets provide a straightforward way to address iron intake specifically, and can be used alongside a general multivitamin if needed.
What does vitamin B6 do, and why is it included in women's vitamins?
Vitamin B6 is included in women's formulas because of its wide-ranging roles in normal body function. It contributes to normal psychological function11, the regulation of hormonal activity12, normal red blood cell formation17, and normal energy-yielding metabolism18. That combination of roles makes it one of the most relevant B vitamins for women across a range of life stages and nutritional priorities.
