Big Friends has always supported your children’s nutritional needs, and now we’re helping moms, too. Our Women’s Multi is formulated for the specific nutritional needs of busy moms with a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and added phytonutrients. It contains a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, and zinc. This formula supports the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums, and helps maintain eyesight, skin, membranes, immune function, and so much more. Vitamins A, D, E, and K2, alongside BerryRich®, green tea extract, indole-3 carbinol (I3C), and lutein, also provide antioxidants for the maintenance of good health. Being a mom is important, but it can be tiring and stressful at times, which is why we’ve included rhodiola, CoQ10, and inositol for added support. Plus, this formula contains betaine hydrochloride (HCL), digestive enzymes to aid digestion, and cranberry concentrate for added benefits.

Like Big Friends’ children’s formulas, Women’s Multi contains the highest quality and optimal ratios of ingredients. It is taken as three easy-to-take vegetarian capsules per day and is non-GMO. This is a fantastic supplement for both new and experienced moms who want to prioritize their well-being while modelling healthy choices for their children.

Contains no artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners; no dairy, sugar, wheat, gluten, yeast, egg, fish, shellfish, salt, tree nuts, or genetically modified genes or proteins. Suitable for vegetarians.
