What effects can you expect after supplementing your diet with the nikalab base for women 50+?

At every stage of our lives we want to feel healthy, have a lot of energy and be satisfied with the way we look. The Dietary Supplement Everyday Base Woman Ja+ was created to support your body so that you can enjoy life in health and well-being, and maintain your beauty for as long as possible. Here's what you'll find in our Database:

• Omega-3 acids from algae (DHA + EPA),
• vitamin D3 from algae (cholecalciferol) , 
• vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin),
• folate – active folic acid (glucosamine salt of (6s)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid),
• choline (choline bitartrate),
• Vitamin K2* (menaquinone-7),
• Vitamin A (retinol acetate),
• Vitamin E (D-alpha tocopherol hydrogen succinate),
• Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone).

These ingredients are included because it is difficult to provide them with the diet in the necessary amount, and the benefits of their supplementation have been supported by scientific research. To ensure that nikalab supplements are both safe and effective, together with doctors, scientists and dietitians, we have selected the appropriate composition of the Bases, the type of capsule, the form of active ingredients, and their doses . You can take our products every day to receive the necessary support in the fight against free radicals that accelerate the aging process. Niklab bases also support the fight against diseases and contribute to strengthening the body's strength . Let's take a closer look at how you can benefit from taking them daily.

Lower risk of many serious diseases.

As we age, we increasingly complain about health and well-being ailments. However, wise supplementation of a balanced diet when used regularly helps reduce the risk of many diseases. Active folic acid, vitamin B12, choline and Omega-3 acids can help prevent problems with the circulatory system, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke as a result of atherosclerotic changes ^1,2,3,4,5,6 . The coenzyme Q10 contained in the base also has a beneficial effect on the heart. It may help treat high blood pressure and reduce the risk of death from heart problems ^7,8,9 . Another component of the Base - choline - is necessary for efficient fat metabolism and supports liver function ¹⁰ . Omega-3 acids contained in the nikalab Base also reduce the risk of some cancers , including: large intestine ¹¹ and breast , and coenzyme Q10 - skin cancer ¹² . Vitamins A and D support eyesight ¹³ and help prevent diseases such as macular degeneration ¹⁴ . The Woman Me+ database also helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and supports the prevention of type 2 diabetes ^15,16 . Methylated vitamin B12 and active folic acid participate in the process of blood formation in the body ^17,18 , and vitamin A helps maintain proper iron metabolism , which protects the body against anemia ¹⁹ . Additionally, you may experience relief from your migraine episodes . Coenzyme Q10 can reduce the number of such incidents , as well as shorten and smoothen their course ^20.21 . Nikalab base may also contribute to the prevention of depression thanks to the content of vitamin D3. Depression symptoms are associated with a deficiency of this vitamin ²² .

A more efficient brain and good memory.

Scientists say that the human brain begins to age at the age of 24 ²³ . The older we get, the more difficult it is to maintain proper cognitive functions. You can obtain protection against their rapid deterioration thanks to the vitamin E contained in the nikalab Base ²⁴ and choline ²⁵ . In turn, vitamin B12 and Omega-3 fatty acids support concentration and memory ^26,27,28 . These ingredients, together with active folic acid and vitamin D, delay the aging process in the brain and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases:

• Alzheimer's disease (Omega-3 ^29.30 , vitamin E ³¹ )
• Parkinson's disease (vitamin D3 ³² )
• dementia (Omega-3 ³³ , folic acid ³⁴ ).

Fight against free radicals.

Free radicals themselves are not enemies. These are simply reactive oxygen molecules that are created in our bodies all the time, even during the breathing process. The body needs them for many biological processes, e.g. to fight infections. However, when there are too many free radicals or when cells are unable to neutralize them, the so-called oxidative stress. It can damage cell DNA and contribute to the development of cancer and inflammatory diseases ^35.36 . Thanks to the content of vitamins A and E and coenzyme Q10, nikalab Base can help prevent these processes ^{37,38,39,40,41} .

Fewer wrinkles and radiant skin.

The free radicals mentioned above also contribute to the aging of the body, including the skin. The ingredients of the Woman Me+ Base help inhibit this process ^42,43,44 to help you maintain a healthy and radiant appearance for as long as possible . By taking our supplements, you may also notice that your wrinkles are less visible and the smoothness of your skin has improved. This is due to the coenzyme Q10 contained in the Base ^45,46,47 , as well as Omega-3 acids, which take care of the overall condition of the skin, prevent and support the fight against imperfections ⁴⁰ .

Support for immunity, which weakens with age.

The older we get, the more the effectiveness of our immune system decreases and the fewer immune cells our body secretes. Mature people often experience the effects of chronic inflammation, which can cause many diseases. After the age of 50, immune support is especially important. That's why we included vitamin D and Omega-3 acids in our Base , which ensure the proper functioning of the immune system and inhibit inflammatory processes. ^49,50,51 . They can also slow down the development of autoimmune diseases ^52.53 . Folic acid and vitamin B12, which are included in the Woman Me+ Base, also have a beneficial effect on immunity . Their deficiency is related to chronic inflammation ^54.55 .

Better sleep quality, good mood and more energy during the day.

As we age, our biological clock and circadian rhythms are also disrupted. Many people over 50 have trouble falling asleep or wake up at night. However, sleep is critical to well-being and health. It regulates, among others: immunity and energy level during the day. Lack of sleep also makes us feel less happy. The components of our Database can remedy these problems. As scientific research proves, vitamin B12 helps in the production of the sleep hormone (melatonin) ⁵⁶ , the level of which in the body decreases with age ⁵⁷ . Methylcobalamin also normalizes the circadian rhythm ^58.59 . Omega-3 acids also have a beneficial effect on sleep ^60,61 , and vitamins D and B12 help maintain good mood during the day ^62,63,64 . Together with folic acid ^65.66 , Omega-3 ^67,68 and choline ⁶⁹ are essential for maintaining your energy level ^70,71 .

Stronger bones and joints.

Hormonal changes in a woman's body associated with menopause affect the condition of her bones. During and after this period, estrogen levels decrease and therefore the bones lose calcium ⁷² , become more brittle.

Vitamins D3 and K2 contained in the nikalab Base support the use of calcium and phosphorus in the body , which contributes to maintaining healthy bones. These vitamins slow down the development of osteoporosis ⁷³ and support the functioning of joints and muscles ^74.75 . However, if we lack vitamin K2, calcium builds up in the arteries instead of in the bones, which threatens heart health.

All active substances in Bases for women 50+ are in forms that are highly digestible for the body and come from carefully selected suppliers from Europe ( you can find the map here ). To make the ingredients better absorbed and supplementation more convenient, we combined them using innovative technologies (you can read about what makes our capsule unique in a separate article ).

When will you see the results?

Each of us is different, so we also need a different amount of time to start reaping the benefits of supplementation. After a few months of regular use of Niklab Base on a daily basis, you will probably start to appreciate its effects.

Your daily base will reach its fullest potential in the long term. Combined with a varied diet and physical activity, supplementation will allow you to feel and look better and use your full potential regardless of age.

To benefit from the above-described benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, we recommend taking 2 capsules of Baza daily at a time, at any time, with or without food. Remember, however, that effective supplementation must be consistent and should not replace a varied diet ( you can read why here ) .
