Quick read

Common vitamin deficiencies in women over 50

Due to changing hormones as we age, vitamin deficiencies can be more common.

How to take?

  1. Take 2 capsules each day

    Take two capsules daily, morning or evening, with or without food.

  2. Take consistently

    Women's ProMulti contains live cultures and nutrients your body cannot store, so daily intake is what makes the difference.

  3. Adjust when needed

    Take your capsules at least 20 minutes before or after anything hot, because live cultures are sensitive to heat.

How it works?

Our Women's ProMulti is a complete formula of 29 vitamins, minerals, botanicals, amino acids and live cultures, developed for women from 45 onwards. It contains evidence-based doses of clinically-backed ingredients for energy, memory, bones, skin, hair, immunity, and gut and vaginal health.

What your body needs changes during and after menopause, and a standard multivitamin doesn't address those needs. In our study, 92% of women taking Women's ProMulti rated it effective, and not one rated it ineffective.

Energy and tiredness

Fatigue after 45 is rarely down to one thing. Sleep changes, shifting hormones and slower nutrient absorption all play a part, and iron requirements drop once periods stop while your need for B vitamins increases.

Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 in our Women's ProMulti fuel your energy, and are provided in their methylated, body-ready forms that your body uses directly, which matters more with age as the conversion step becomes less efficient. Ashwagandha modulates your stress response, and sustained stress is one of the most common causes of tiredness that rest does not fix.

Memory and mental clarity

Brain fog and losing your thread mid-sentence are among the most unsettling changes women report before and during menopause.

Ginkgo biloba has been studied for cognitive function for decades, with clinical trials involving more than 2,500 people. Vitamin B5 supports your mental sharpness and focus, while vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 fuel the neurotransmitters your brain uses to think clearly.

B12 absorption declines with age which is why our Women's ProMulti provides it as methylcobalamin at a therapeutic dose.

Bones, muscles and joints

Bone loss accelerates sharply after menopause, and perimenopause is when most of it starts to happen, while muscle mass declines alongside it.

Vitamin D3 is essential for your body to absorb calcium, and vitamin K2 activates the proteins that bind that calcium into bone. Boron supports bone health, magnesium supports your muscles, and the amino acids lysine, proline and glycine are the building blocks your body uses for collagen, which holds bone mineral in place. In women over 60, vitamin D reduces the risk of falling from postural instability and muscle weakness.

For comprehensive support for your bones, muscles and joints, we recommend OsteoFriend® alongside Women's ProMulti.

Skin, hair and nails

Collagen production falls with oestrogen, and around 30% of your skin collagen is lost in the first five years after your final period. Thinning hair and brittle nails usually follow the same curve.

Vitamin C is vital for your body to build collagen, zinc supports the constant cell renewal in your skin and nails, biotin supports healthier hair, and selenium further fuels hair and nail growth. Coenzyme Q10 is included because your body makes less of it with age, and it is concentrated in the cells that need the most energy, including those in your skin.

Skin renews on a cycle of roughly 28 days and hair grows in months rather than weeks, so take our Women's ProMulti consistently for best results.

Gut and vaginal health

Your vaginal microbiome changes after menopause. Falling oestrogen reduces the glycogen that lactobacilli feed on, so their numbers fall, pH rises, and dryness, irritation and urinary infections are more common.

Our Women's ProMulti provides Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus reuteri, two species that naturally dominate a healthy vaginal microbiome, alongside cranberry extract, whose proanthocyanidins have been studied for preventing recurrent urinary infections in women.

For focused vaginal and urinary support, we recommend pH Hero® alongside Women's ProMulti.

Immunity

The immune response becomes slower and less precise with age, which is why infections can last longer than they used to.

Zinc, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin D3 and vitamin A all support your immune function through different routes, and vitamin D3 matters particularly in the darker months. Over 70% of your immune function is in your gut, which is another reason Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus reuteri are in this formula.

Heart and circulation

Cardiovascular risk rises for women after menopause, and oestrogen's protective effect on blood vessels is a significant part of why.

Vitamins B6, B12 and folate work together to keep homocysteine at healthy levels for cardiovascular health. Vitamin B1 is vital for your heart function, vitamin E protects your cells from oxidative stress, and Coenzyme Q10 is concentrated in heart muscle, which has among the highest energy demands of any tissue in your body.

The evidence behind DRV+

Women's Health

A women’s multi that your body actually notices

Women's ProMulti is a comprehensive multivitamin and probiotic in one, formulated to support women's overall health, gut health and nutrient sufficiency.

50 respondents June 2026 Cross-sectional customer survey
92% found it effective
90% preferred it to their old multi
82% would recommend it
Study Findings

We surveyed 50 verified Women's ProMulti users, tracking effectiveness, the benefits they noticed, and how it compared to products they had used before.

The results?

92.3% rated Women's ProMulti effective, and not one person rated it 'not at all effective'. Among those who had tried other multivitamins or greens, 89.7% judged it better - 53.8% 'a lot better'. Several users reported mood and sleep benefits they hadn't even set out to address. 82% of users would recommend it.

What This Means

Better than your last multi

89.7% rated it better than other multivitamins or greens.

Over half said 'a lot better' - and none rated it worse.

Unexpected extras

More users felt mood and sleep benefits than originally went looking for them.

Broader-spectrum support than many expect from a daily multi.

Trusted by the people who use it

82% would recommend it, with a mean score of 8.2 out of 10.

Strong advocacy from a committed, mostly midlife user base.

How well do multivitamins really work?

Our survey of 651 adults benchmarks why people take multivitamins, what they expect, and where products succeed or fall short across the market.

651 respondents (343 multivitamin users) January 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
94% rate their multi effective
70% notice benefit within 4 weeks
40%+ can't spot additives
Study Findings

We surveyed 651 adults on multivitamin motivations, behaviours, ingredient awareness and perceived effectiveness across twelve health areas.

What we found:

94.4% of daily users rated their multivitamin positive overall, and 70% noticed benefit within four weeks. Immunity (70%), energy (57%) and skin (52%) performed best; sleep and anxiety were weakest - the biggest unmet needs. Over 40% had never checked for unnecessary additives because they didn't know what to look for.

What This Means

High satisfaction, uneven domains

Strongest for immunity, energy and skin; weakest for sleep and anxiety.

Marking the clearest gaps in current formulations.

An education gap

40%+ don't know how to check for unnecessary additives.

A meaningful consumer-awareness opportunity.

What drives switching

Lack of efficacy, cost and additives are the top reasons people leave a brand.

The priorities that determine long-term loyalty.

What is the best multivitamin for women?

According to BBC Good Food Guide review of 'The best multivitamins and minerals 2025 - tried and tested', Women's ProMulti by DRV+ (Formerly DR.VEGAN®) was ranked 'Best Multivitamin for Women', rated 'Star Buy'.

Scoring 5/5 and tested for taste, flavour, nutrient profile, additives, dietary requirements, and value for money, the independent nutritionist reviewers said "Two capsules a day are easy enough to incorporate into a daily routine, and the standard-sized capsules are tasteless with a slight biscuit-like scent. The formula is vegan and free from gluten, dairy, lactose, soya and wheat. With a comprehensive nutrient profile, including high levels of B vitamins, vitamin D3, K2, C and key minerals, it covers most daily requirements, though iron is not included. Packaging is plastic-free and home compostable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. A 60-day money-back guarantee is also offered."

How do I store my probiotics?

Probiotics are very sensitive to heat and warm air, so keep your pouch away from any warm air or moisture, including radiators, steam from a kettle or showers in a bathroom. If at all uncertain, store in your fridge if it is frost-free.

Can Women’s ProMulti be taken alongside our other probiotics?

Yes, you can. Our probiotics all serve different purposes and can safely be taken together.

Can Women’s ProMulti be taken alongside Gut Works®?

Yes - our probiotics all serve different purposes and can safely be taken together. 

As always with probiotics, do ensure you always reseal your pouch and only add a few capsules to your pill tin each time; keep your supplements away from heat, warm air and moisture (probiotics are very sensitive to heat); and do take your Gut Works® capsules at least 20 minutes before or after a hot drink or food, and ideally on an empty stomach.

Can you take Women’s ProMulti alongside pH Hero®?

Yes, you can. Both pH Hero® and Women’s ProMulti contain healthy strains of live bacteria which play a particular role in supporting the vaginal microbiome and helping restore vaginal flora. pH Hero® is for targeted support, specifically for help with vaginal infections, whereas Women’s ProMulti is formulated for overall support for women.

Can I take Women’s ProMulti alongside PeriMenoFriend® and MenoFriend®?

Yes, it is safe to take Women’s ProMulti alongside both. PeriMenoFriend® and MenoFriend® provide targeted support for hormone regulation, fatigue etc, whilst Women’s ProMulti provides overall daily support so that you can feel your best.

What age is Women’s ProMulti targeted at?

Women’s ProMulti is targeted at women aged 40+ who are looking for a comprehensive formula to support all of their health needs. It is ideal for those who are postmenopausal, but can also support those that are younger who want a convenient all in one formula, and can be taken alongside their menopause/pms formula.

Can younger women take Women’s ProMulti?

Yes, Women’s ProMulti is suitable for women of all ages however, if you are still menstruating we would recommend taking alongside our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C supplement for optimal dosages.

Can you take women's multivitamins when pregnant?

If you're pregnant, we recommend Pregnancy Multinutrient by DRV+ (Formerly DR.VEGAN®) which provides 27 naturally sourced vitamins and minerals for you and your baby, including the recommended 400ug of folate, and with no additives. For comprehensive support, we recommend our Comprehensive Pregnancy Bundle which includes an additional 600mg of choline per serving for foetal development and pure Vegan Omega 3.

What age should women take multivitamins?

Women should take a multivitamin throughout their lives. They can transition from a children's multivitamin to an adult multivitamin in the mid- to late teen years.

What do women's multivitamins do?

It depends on the multivitamin. Women's ProMulti is a multivitamin and probiotic, with 29 therapeutic ingredients and no additives, providing everything women need for busy lifestyles, including friendly bacteria ('probiotics'), botanicals, vitamins and minerals. In particular, it is ideal for comprehensive energy, immune health, hair, skin, and nails, and for gut health and hormonal balance.

It depends on the multivitamin. A highest-quality and comprehensive multivitamin like Women's ProMulti will support mental health, clear thinking, hormone cycles, energy, immunity, vaginal health, gut health, skin, hair and nails, and bones.

What is the best multivitamin for menopausal women?

Women's ProMulti is a great multivitamin for women during menopause and postmenopause.
