The more you think about it, the weirder it gets.
\nObviously we have reproductive differences but, beyond that, do women and men really vary that much?
\nEspecially when it comes to science. We use rats to estimate how stuff affects us for crying out loud. We share about 50% of the same genes as fruit flies and some have argued that our societal structures are similar to that of lobsters.
\nWhen it comes to comparing one human against the other then 99.9% similarity may be an understatement because we don\u2019t want to use more decimal places.
\nAnd yet, despite this, we find numerous claims that supplements can benefit women and men differently beyond sex-based anatomical differences.
\nTo rub salt in the wound they are also all called vitamins for what I can only assume to be marketing or negligence. The amount of times I\u2019ve seen calcium included in lists of vitamins for women\u2019s health is equal parts staggering and saddening (we\u2019ll get to why that\u2019s wrong in a moment).
\nScrew \u201cvitamin,\u201d the most commonly misused term by far in this regard. Want to know vitamins for women? Folic acid prenatal vitamins, boom, done, that\u2019s it.
\nIt\u2019s a useless question.
\nA much better one is this: \u201cWhat supplements should I, as a woman, consider that men do not need to consider?\u201d
\nAnd simple questions beget simple answers.
