May is Women’s Health Month and there is much to celebrate!  After all, women make the world go round—none of us would exist if it weren’t for women.  There is a greater openness surrounding uniquely female topics once considered taboo, like menopause and miscarriages.  There are more ongoing discussions about inequities females face in their personal and professional lives.  At long last, the nutraceuticals industry is responding with more products formulated for women during various life stages.
