It may not be readily obvious to everyone, but men and women are a little different. This extends well below the surface into the needs women’s nutrition must meet in order to actually support a healthy and functioning body.
For most of the history of the world--continuing up through this very minute--women have been assumed to have the same nutritional needs as men. Or at least, very few people have cared to try and understand the differences. Whether they decide or are able to have children or not, women’s bodies experience a range of hormonal and other physical changes throughout their lives that are in one fashion or another related to the act of carrying a child and then supporting it once it’s been born. There is more to all of this than just a lower center of gravity, and women’s nutrition needs to reflect that.
A woman’s dietary needs, especially if she is starting an exercise program, should be met by those who have studied the science of nutrition and care deeply about getting it right and making products that will help their user become healthier. This is wildly different from products that will simply aid their manufacturer in buying a new yacht.
Not only do the needs for proper women’s nutrition differ from those for men, but from woman to woman. Is she just starting to try to get healthy or has she been doing this for years? Are there health, age or physical issues that need to be taken into consideration? Does she need more iron or calcium or less potassium?
There is no one right answer for all people. Nutritional needs vary and if a woman wants to make the most of her efforts to get strong and healthy, she needs to invest in products that are actually geared toward her needs, not just poured out of some giant vat labeled "who cares?"
