Modere Essentials Women: targeted daily nutrition for the specific demands of female health
Designed specifically for women’s needs
A generic multivitamin is formulated for average adults. Essentials Women targets the specific nutritional demands of female physiology — iron for menstrual loss, B6 for hormonal balance, and herbal support for female health.
Iron for menstrual support
Menstruating women lose iron monthly — making iron deficiency the most common nutritional deficiency in NZ women. Essentials includes bioavailable iron to replace monthly losses.
B6 for hormonal balance
Vitamin B6 is required for the enzymatic conversion of hormonal metabolites — supporting progesterone-oestrogen balance and reducing PMS-related mood symptoms.
Why women need different nutritional support from men — and why most multivitamins miss this
Female physiology has specific nutritional demands that differ significantly from male needs: monthly menstrual iron loss, cyclical hormonal fluctuations requiring B6 and magnesium cofactors, higher folate requirements during reproductive years, and specific bone density considerations. A generic multivitamin formulated for an average adult does not adequately address these sex-specific needs.
New Zealand women have the highest rate of iron deficiency anaemia in the developed world — with 35% of women aged 15-50 having suboptimal iron levels. B6 deficiency is associated with PMS, morning sickness and hormonal mood fluctuations. Folate is critically important during reproductive years. Essentials Women brings these female-specific requirements into one targeted daily supplement.
Ingredients in Modere Essentials NZ | Women’s Health Formula 90 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Iron (bisglycinate) | Menstrual iron replacement | Bisglycinate is the most stomach-friendly and bioavailable iron form. Replaces the 15-30mg of iron lost monthly through menstruation. |
| Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) | Hormonal metabolism cofactor | Required for oestrogen and progesterone metabolic enzymes. Reduces PMS-related mood symptoms and supports serotonin synthesis. |
| Folate (methylfolate) | Cell division, cardiovascular | Bioactive methylfolate — essential for all women of reproductive age for cell division support. Important for those with MTHFR gene variants. |
| Magnesium | Hormonal balance, sleep | Cofactor for progesterone synthesis and GABA receptor support — reduces PMS cramping, anxiety and sleep disruption. |
| Zinc | Reproductive health, skin | Supports ovarian function, skin health and immune response — zinc is depleted by the contraceptive pill in many women. |
| Female herbal complex | Hormonal balance herbs | Traditional herbs supporting female hormonal cycle health — complementing the nutritional foundation. |
How Modere Essentials NZ | Women’s Health Formula 90 Caps works
Iron replaces monthly menstrual losses
Bioavailable bisglycinate iron is absorbed in the small intestine — replenishing haemoglobin and ferritin stores depleted by monthly menstruation.
B6 supports hormonal metabolism
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (active B6) activates enzymes that metabolise oestrogen excess in the liver — supporting hormonal balance and reducing oestrogen-dominant PMS symptoms.
Folate supports cell health
Methylfolate supports DNA synthesis and cell division — particularly important during reproductive years when cell turnover in the reproductive system is high.
Herbal complex modulates cycle
Traditional female herbs work synergistically with the nutritional foundation — supporting uterine tone, cycle regularity and hormonal balance throughout the month.

What to expect
Realistic guide.

Is Modere Essentials NZ | Women’s Health Formula 90 Caps right for you?
✓ Yes if you…
- Menstruating women of all ages
- Those with PMS symptoms
- Women on the contraceptive pill (which depletes several nutrients)
- Those with low energy associated with menstrual iron loss
- Women wanting a female-specific alternative to a generic multivitamin
✕ Skip if you…
- Pregnant women — use a prenatal supplement instead
- Post-menopausal women — different nutritional priorities; consider Ova-M and standard multivitamin
Pro tips
Take with vitamin C food or supplement
Iron absorption is significantly enhanced by vitamin C — take with orange juice or alongside Shaklee Antioxidant (34062).
Not the same as a prenatal
Essentials is formulated for general female health — pregnant women need a dedicated prenatal supplement with higher folate and additional nutrients.
Check your ferritin
Ask your GP to test ferritin (iron stores) not just haemoglobin — ferritin depletion causes fatigue and hair loss before anaemia develops.
