If you’re feeling fatigued, noticing more hair in the shower, or wondering why your nails are brittle and your skin looks dull—it might not be “just hormones.”
It might be micronutrient deficiency.
At Antigravity Wellness, we’re often amazed at how many women come to us without even the most basic nutritional foundation in place:
👉 A high-quality, bioavailable multivitamin.
This simple addition can make a huge difference in how you feel—especially during perimenopause, menopause, and other hormonally demanding times.
So let’s talk about why a multivitamin matters (even if you eat “healthy”), what to look for, and our favorite brand we recommend for nearly every woman who walks through our virtual doors.
Why a Multivitamin Still Matters in 2025 (Even If You Eat Well)
You might be thinking:
“I eat pretty clean. Lots of veggies. I shouldn’t need a multivitamin, right?”
We wish that were true. But here’s the reality:
- Soil depletion means food has fewer nutrients than it did 50 years ago
- Stress, hormonal fluctuations, and medications (like PPIs, birth control, or metformin) increase nutrient depletion
- Digestion and absorption decline with age, especially in the 40s and beyond
- You might be missing key vitamins for energy, thyroid, mood, or hair health—and not even know it
According to the CDC, nearly 92% of Americans have at least one vitamin or mineral deficiency, with Vitamin D, magnesium, B12, and iron being among the most common.
What Happens When You’re Low in Nutrients?
Here are a few subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs we see that often trace back to basic nutrient insufficiencies:
- Brittle, peeling, or ridged nails
- Hair thinning or slow regrowth
- Fatigue or burnout that doesn’t match your activity level
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Anxiety or irritability
- Poor stress resilience
- Frequent illness or slow healing
- Hormonal symptoms that persist despite “normal” labs
Sometimes women are ready to jump into advanced hormone protocols or spend hundreds on testing… but are still missing the daily nutrient foundation their body needs to do its job.
What Makes a Multivitamin “High Quality”?
Not all multivitamins are created equal. In fact, many store-bought brands are:
🚫 Full of synthetic or poorly absorbed forms (like folic acid instead of methylfolate)
🚫 Missing key minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium
🚫 Overloaded with cheap fillers, dyes, or sugar
🚫 Using forms of B12 or iron that cause GI upset
That’s why we only recommend multivitamins that are bioavailable, third-party tested, and formulated to actually work in your body.
Our Favorite: Codeage Fermented Women’s Multivitamin

👉 Codeage Fermented Women’s Multivitamin
Here’s why we love it:

When and How to Take It
✔️ Best taken with breakfast or lunch

✔️ Always take with food to enhance absorption and minimize nausea
✔️ Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight
Case Study: Meet “Caroline”
Name changed for privacy
Caroline, 42, came to us with fatigue, thinning hair, and stubborn PMS. She’d been eating clean, exercising, and taking some supplements she picked up at a health food store, but wasn’t feeling any better.
We did a full workup—and while we uncovered some deeper hormone imbalance, we also saw low-normal B12 and iron, along with signs of suboptimal zinc and magnesium intake.
We started her on:
- Codeage Fermented Women’s Multivitamin
- Magnesium glycinate at night
- Iron bisglycinate based on her labs
- A hormone-supportive nutrition plan
Within 4 weeks, her energy had improved. By 8 weeks, her hair shedding had slowed, and her cycle symptoms had begun to ease.
“I can’t believe I went all this time without a multivitamin. It was such a simple fix, and I feel like my body finally has what it needs.”
Don’t Overlook the Basics—Build Your Foundation First
If you’ve been chasing more energy, better cycles, or stronger hair without success, it might not be a mystery—it might be a missing micronutrient.
At Antigravity Wellness, we believe every woman deserves a strong foundation of support. And a high-quality multivitamin is one of the simplest, most powerful places to start.
