3 Essential Supplements for Women: Multivitamin, Collagen and Magnesium
The three supplements Jane puts at the top of the list for women who train, and what each one is for.
1. A multivitamin
A varied diet full of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy covers most of your vitamin and mineral needs. Most busy women do not eat that way every day. A good multivitamin fills the gaps, which is why Jane puts it first on the list.
2. Collagen peptides
Your body makes less collagen as you age. Jane recommends 2.5 g of collagen peptides a day, an amount that has been studied for its effect on skin density, elasticity and hydration.
3. Magnesium in the evening
If you often feel stressed, get muscle cramps or struggle to sleep, magnesium may help. It plays a role in calming the mind and relaxing and recovering your muscles. Jane recommends taking it every evening so you wake up fresh for your next training session.
Supplements support your training
No supplement will replace good food, proper workouts and sleep. They work best on top of a solid plan. Check with your doctor before starting anything new, especially if you take medication. For a nutrition and training plan built for you, book 1:1 coaching with Jane in Dubai.

Ladies, these are the three essential supplements you should be taking. Number one is a high dosage multivitamin. Unless you are eating a high variety of fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and dairy, you are probably insufficient in one of the essential minerals or vitamins. So this should be at the top of your supplement list. Number two, collagen. As we age, the body's production of collagen slows down. It is scientifically proven that 2.5 grams of collagen peptides every day will improve your skin density, elasticity and hydration. Number three: if you are stressed, cramping or have trouble sleeping, magnesium might be the missing piece. This crucial mineral plays an essential role in our bodies, from calming the mind and relaxing the muscles to recovering the muscles. Take it every evening to be fresh the next day.
