Verywell Health / David Hattan Women typically experience menopause at around age 52, and during this hormonal shift (and in the years leading up to it), your body's nutritional needs change. Multivitamins specially formulated for women over 50 can help you meet these needs, promoting strength and vitality in this next phase of life.

Getting enough calcium during pregnancy is crucial for supporting the growth and development of the baby’s skeletal system, as well as for muscle and nerve function, blood pressure regulation, and hormonal activity for both mother and baby. Surprisingly, your calcium needs do not increase when you're pregnant, as your ability to absorb this nutrient actually doubles, allowing your body to use the calcium you consume more efficiently.

When it comes to fertility, it really does take two to tango—in about 20 percent of the cases of infertility, the cause can be attributed to male infertility and a contributing factor in another 30-40% of infertility cases. A fertility assessment can help address male infertility and give insight into your sperm’s shape and movement (morphology and motility) and total sperm count to give clues as to what areas can be targeted for fertility improvement.
