With a view to creating awareness about the need for a wholesome diet and nutritional supplements for modern women, the Amway India launched an awareness campaign on the wellness for women here on Sunday.
Nutritionist Mousumi Mullick Roy spoke on the nutritional needs of women at different stages of life and elaborated the post-menopausal challenges and the need of supplementation to combat it. Amway India Vice-President (East) Diptarag Bhattacharjee said that modern women are facing mounting pressure. Keeping this in view, Amway has launched special women’s range of nutritional supplements to address the need.
Nutritionist from Kolkata Mousumi Mullick Roy said that women need certain nutrients including iron, folic acid, calcium and Omega-3 fatty acid of a higher quantity at different stages of life.
“Increased use of pesticides in farming causes depletion of the nutrients in vegetables and fruits. Hence, dietary supplements, if used sensibly, can bridge the gap of nutrients in the diet. Besides, it can also help women to deal with the phases like menopause,” said Bhattacharjee, adding that Amway’s vitamins and dietary supplements brand Nutrilite offers Nutrilite Black Cohosh and Soy, which supports the overall wellbeing of women during menopause by easing out symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings.
