Vitamin B12 helps keep your Folic Acid level up which keeps homocystine levels low. Depression has been linked to low levels of Vitamin B12 and it has been used along with Folic Acid to treat depression. Vitamin C is essential for wound healing, immune function and hormone production. One study reveled that women with high levels of Vitamin C had a lower risk of breast cancer. Another study showed women with low levels of Vitamin C had an increased risk of cervical dysplasia and cervical carcinoma in situ.
Vitamin D stimulates the absorption of calcium.
Women being treated for or at risk for osteoporosis need to be sure they are receiving adequate amounts of Vitamin D. Boron is a trace nutrient necessary for the prevention of post menopausal osteoporosis. It does this by activating Vitamin D and estrogen. One study showed that postmenopausal women who took Boron daily decreased the amount of calcium lost in their urine and increased their estrogen levels. Calcium supplementation is generally recommended to help prevent osteoporosis in post menopausal women. Several studies have shown that calcium supplementation can help slow down bone loss but does not prevent it.
