Essential for Women 50+ is ​​for women post-menopause with nutrients to support healthy aging from within.* If you’re not post-menopause, Essential for Women 50+ doesn’t contain iron, so Essential for Women 18+ should have your needs covered.

Keeping It Real

Too Early to Tell

I am unsure if this product is better than my previous vitamins. I will use them for a few more months before making any changes.

I'm in love

6/4/2024

I have been on them consistently,until recently when they are sold out. That's a first and now I am off because you can't get the product, but when I do have my subscription working, they are the best vitamins I have ever taken. I work really hard and they get me through the day and I hate being without them. Would recommend to the world.

Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.

Easy on my stomach

6/3/2024

I have long had difficulty with vitamins making me nauseous. These vitamins really can be taken even on an empty stomach &, like magic, they don't make me feel sick. I also think that the price point is reasonable for my longterm budget.

Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.

Great daily vitamin

I have stuck with Ritual, because it is traceable and has many supplements it it. So much easier to take two capsules a day, and getting everything you need.

The Ritual 50+ Essential is Now a Staple in My Healthy Girl Lifestyle

6/2/2024

I have been taking the Ritual 50+ for at least five years, and it has become a staple in my wellness lifestyle. It is easy to take, doesn't have the typical fish oil taste and is very supportive of my gut health. It's worth the investment.

Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.

Love the ritual
