Multivitamins are important health supplements in all stages of life. Senior women have unique nutritional needs. According to the World Health Organization, senior women are at special risk of osteoporosis, and although prevention in younger years is more effective, seniors can also try to stop mineral loss from bones. Multivitamin supplements should not be a substitute for a healthy diet, but can provide extra insurance against a diet lacking in nutrients.
