What is in women's health?
Women's health products cover multivitamins formulated with iron and folate, pregnancy and preconception formulas, iron supplements, calcium and vitamin D for bone health, and products aimed at menstrual and menopausal symptoms using ingredients such as iron, magnesium, vitamin B6 and herbal preparations.
Two nutrients genuinely differ by requirement rather than marketing. Iron needs are substantially higher for menstruating women, and deficiency is common. Folate requirements rise before and during early pregnancy, which is why preconception supplementation is specifically recommended in Australia rather than simply suggested. Those two are the reason this category exists as something more than packaging.

How it is usually used
Most are once daily. Iron absorbs better away from tea, coffee, dairy and calcium supplements, and taking it with a source of vitamin C improves uptake. Supplements are not a substitute for medical advice. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take prescription medication, or are managing a health condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting something new.
