Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1 is a daily multivitamin developed to support the good health of modern-day women.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle we all juggle many commitments – family, work, social life, study – which often leaves us with little or no energy to do the things we enjoy. Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1 has been scientifically proven to help relieve tiredness, assist with stress and promote energy and stamina.

Swisse products are based on over 25 years of worldwide research and contain scientifically validated ingredients and dosages.

One of the necessities for good health is to provide the body with all the important vitamins and minerals it requires to develop and function properly. Inadequate nutrition is one of the main reasons we may suffer from the symptoms of tiredness, and general illness is often related to nutritional deficiencies.

That’s where the Swisse Women’s Ultivite has been so successful. Swisse Women’s Ultivite contains antioxidants to assist in protecting our body from harmful free radical damage.

The Swisse formulas incorporate up-to-date scientific findings and are a reflection of Swisse’s commitment to research and premium quality.

Study title: Randomized clinical trial investigating effects of a multi-nutrient combination on mood, stress, sleep and cognition.

Study centre: Centre for Human Psychopharmacology, Swinburne

Products: Swisse Men’s Ultivite Formula 1 and Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1

Commencement date: March 2011

Status: Data collection for this study is complete. Data analysis is underway.

Clinical Trial Registry code: ACTRN12611000092998

This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised, parallel groups study that sought to investigate the effects of taking the Men’s or Women’s Ultivite daily for 16-weeks on mood, stress, sleep and cognition in healthy men and women aged 20 to 50 years. Participants completed questionnaires relating to their feelings of general well being, stress and anxiety, sleep quality and feelings of fatigue, mood and any physical complaints. Sensitive computerised tasks were used to assess executive function, memory, speed of processing and multitasking ability and the effect that cognitive stressors have on mood, fatigue and ability to concentrate. The study also examined potential biological mechanisms through which Ultivite use may be beneficial including blood measures, cardiovascular health and brain function.

Preliminary analyses (non-peer reviewed) indicate that both Men’s and Women’s Ultivite F1 formulations lower homocysteine.
