Iodine, Iron & Zinc

In addition to calcium and magnesium, various minerals may be needed in higher amounts to support healthy female hormone function. Iodine is highly concentrated in the ovaries and breasts, and helps modulate the proper metabolism of estrogen. Iron is vital for any woman who exercises a lot, is a vegetarian, has a lot of fatigue during menstruation, or has heavier menstrual cycles. Zinc is required for many aspects of female hormone, adrenal, and thyroid hormone function and if lacking causes problems including poor sex drive.*
