DaVINCI SPECTRA™ WOMAN

Why should I choose DaVinci’s Spectra‘ Woman multiple over other multiples for women?

DaVinci’s Spectra‘ Woman is the highest quality and highest potency multiple for women available today*. Spectra Woman is the only woman’s forumula to contain 56 nutrients including those most important for women like calcium (for bone health), biotin (for nail and hair growth), iron (for healthy red blood cells), octacosanol, gamma linoleic acid, and grape seed extract (a potent antioxidant important for maintaining capillary strength).

Spectra‘ Woman takes the guesswork out of a woman’s daily supplement program by providing the nutrients most needed by women in their childbearing years and by focusing on the FORM, BALANCE, and POTENCY of the nutrients.

What does “form” mean when talking about a multiple formula?

“Form” refers to the design of a nurient that can affect the efficiency of how that nutrient is utilized by the body.

Spectra Woman offers several nutrients in the most effective “form”.*

Vitamin C 1,000 mg (Ascorbate): Ascorbates are Vitamin C molecules attached to minerals. All Vitamin C must be hooked up to minerals before it can go into the bloodstream to be used by the body. Often minerals are not at the right time or in the right place to properly use Vitamin C. By supplying mineral ascorbates in Spectra‘ Woman, you get the full benefits of Vitamin C.*
Natural Vitamin E 400 IU (d-alpha tocopheryl succinate): This is the most active and natural form of Vitamin E available.

L-Cysteine, L-Glutamine, and DL-Methionine: these amino acids are necessary for increased mental energy and are in the pure crystalline form for immediate assimilation by the body.*

Digestive Enzymes:
Spectra‘ Woman contains Enzopharm“ Plus a proprietary blend of vegetarian enzymes. This combination of digestive enzymes aids the body in digesting and absorbing food nutrients that are not easily assimilated.

What does “Balance” mean in a multiple?
Vitamins B1, B2, and B6, for example, should be balanced (or in the same basic potency) within a B Complex preparation. This is because the B Vitamins are closely related in function. B1, B2, and B6, in particular, tend to be utilized at the same rate by the body. Spectra‘ Woman’s B Complex is balanced at a level of 70 mg per B Vitamin in four tablets.

What else sets Spectra‘ Woman apart from the others?
Spectra‘ Woman includes in its formula nutrients that are of a particular importance for today’s woman:

Gamma Linolenic Acid (from Evening Primrose Oil) – an essential fatty acid that is necessary for the production of hormone-like substances in the body known as prostaglandins, in particular prostaglandins from the E1 Series or PGE1. Aging, stress, PMS, obesity, and degeneration have all been associated with low levels of PGE1 in the body.*

Grape Seed Extract – a rich source of a group of waer-soluble bioflavonoids known as proanthocyanidins or PCOs. PCOs are potent antioxidants and have also been known to strengthen the capillaries.* Bruising, varicose veins, and abnormal menstrual bleeding are associated with weak capillaries. Grape Seed Extract is guaranteed to yield 95% proanthocyanidins.

Calcium – a diet rich in calcium is essential for women. Studies indicate that 80% of all American women are deficient in calcium. Spectra‘ Woman contains 100% of the RDA for Calcium.

Octacosanol – is a natural constituent of wheat germ oil that supports endurance, stamina, and strength.*

Why isn’t Vitamin A included in Spectra‘ Woman?
A Nov. ’95 article in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that there may be a possible relationship between consuming more than 10,000 IU of Vitamin A per day and some types of birth defects.

As a precautionary measure, the FDA has made the following recommendation: “Women of childbearing age are advised to choose fortified foods that contain Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene rather than preformed Vitamin A, whenever possible”.


DaVinci’s Spectra‘ Woman follows that recommendation by providing 15,000 IU of beta-carotene to Vitamin A only when needed.

How do I know if I need a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement like DaVinci’s Spectra‘ Woman?
Every woman can benefit from a high quality multiple formulation that is rich in the nutrients that focus on FORM, BALANCE, and POTENCY. Spectra‘ Woman provides a strong foundation for any nutritional program.
