Women need their own vitamins which is why they have a site like www.womensvitamin.org. Women have different needs and a completely different make up from men so you want to make sure that you are getting the suppliments that you require as a woman. It just makes sense. I actually was told that my pre natal vitamins are great for women between 20 and 40 and that I should just keep on taking them so I have been. I try to eat healthy but vitamins are always a nice addition to suppliment what you are not getting.
