Nearly 70 Percent of Women Prefer Supplements Made Specifically for the Female Body

In a recent survey, 69 percent of women said they would like to take a nutritional supplement created specifically for the female body. While the global protein supplement market was estimated at $17.55B in 2019, none of those products were scientifically formulated for women.

To meet this demand, PRTCL today launches a new line of sports nutrition supplements formulated specifically for a woman’s body and her nutritional needs. The scientifically backed collection, which includes protein powders, an immunity booster and pre- and post-workout formulas, is the only line on the market created by and for women, filling a void in the industry. The products provide a holistic solution to help women reach their athletic and wellness goals.

The survey also indicated 92 percent of women experience low energy, which can often be attributed to a calorie-restrictive diet. This can be detrimental to an active woman’s health. In fact, a recent study from Rutgers University indicated female athletes are often deficient in vitamins B and D, zinc, magnesium and calcium from exercise-related stress and inadequate dietary intake.

Formulated with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to complement a woman’s unique nutritional needs and hormonal cycle, PRTCL products are intended to help build strength and energy levels, and promote overall wellness. Most of the currently available nutritional supplements marketed to women are the same products sold to men in generic packaging. Additionally, many are geared toward weight or fat loss alone, instead of total health.

“Instead of focusing weight, our products are intended to help women reach a peak level of overall wellness,” said Donna Burke, managing director, PRTCL. “Every ingredient in our products is carefully chosen and listed on the packaging for full transparency,” said Burke.

In a year in which women have taken on the brunt of childcare and schooling during the pandemic, for many, personal health and wellness has taken a backseat. The PRTCL products aim to help women get back on track with vitamins and minerals that improve energy, provide an immune boost and replace much-needed nutrients. The PRTCL collection includes:

• ESSENTIAL, a whey protein powder, is fortified with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, magnesium and iron, which are often limited in a low-calorie diet. ESSENTIAL contains 20 grams of protein per serving, less than the 24 grams per serving found in men’s protein powders. ESSENTIAL was formulated to be a dietary additive that can be used in cooking and baking and comes in unflavored, French vanilla and dark chocolate flavors.
• STAMINA, a pre-workout and lifestyle supplement, is designed to provide energy throughout the day. While many formulas contain 300mg of caffeine, STAMINA contains about the same caffeine as a cup of coffee (approximately 95mg) with added B vitamins and amino acids to slow absorption for sustained energy without the crash. STAMINA helps to provide more blood flow to muscles to improve function and energy and is available in lemon citrus and cranberry grapefruit flavors.
• REPAIR, a post-workout supplement, is designed to help the body recover after a strenuous workout. With all nine essential amino acids, coconut water powder for potassium and vitamins D, E, K, C, calcium carbonate and antioxidants, this product helps fight the oxidative state and repair muscle quickly. Flavors include blackberry lemon and mint limeade, which can be added to water or used as an ingredient in mocktails.
• SUPPORT, an immunity booster, aids recovery from workouts and promotes overall wellness. SUPPORT is formulated with vitamins A, C, D, E, folic acid, potassium, sodium, green tea, magnesium, elderberry and zinc. SUPPORT is unflavored and can be added to most beverages, including coffee and smoothies.

All products are gluten-free and available at prtclproducts.com. Ranging in price from $23 to $45, each supplement can be purchased individually, bundled or as part of a subscription.
