New Chapter Helps Nourish Women From the Inside Out

Since 1982, New Chapter has been making whole-food supplements to support people on their personal health journeys—including vitamins specifically developed for women. To create its signature formulas, New Chapter travels around the world searching for ingredients that meet its strict standards for purity, potency, and sustainable sourcing—such as organic turmeric from India, wild-caught salmon from Alaska, and sustainably harvested plant calcium from Iceland.

So what do women need to support their health? To find out, we spoke with Vice President of Innovation Design, Jen Toomey. If you’re just starting out, Toomey recommends taking a complete multivitamin like Every Woman’s One Daily. “It’s a great way to build sturdy foundations for everyday health, plus it’s fermented for better nutrient absorption—that’s important.” This multi is filled with good-for-you ingredients like B vitamins for energy support, vitamin C for collagen protection, and herbs like chaste tree berry, red clover flower, and organic raspberry leaf.* “Whether you’re under 40, 40+, or 55+, there’s a targeted multivitamin for your needs. We also offer a prenatal and postnatal regimen for women who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.”

Toomey also suggests doing your research, because not all vitamins are created equal. “Some are just synthetic, isolated nutrients that can be hard on the digestive system, causing nausea and going right through the body without being used to their potential.” New Chapter uses fermentation to mitigate discomfort and to help you get the most out of your supplement. “This process breaks down nutrients into food form, unlocking their full nourishing potential for your body to recognize and absorb. Choosing fermented means you get the full value out of every part of your multivitamin,” Toomey says.
