An insurance policy for aging gracefully
Multivitamins never go out of style! No matter your age, a well-balanced multi-vitamin and mineral supplement can ensure your nutritional bases are covered.
As we age, we face new challenges. But, worry less about reduced nutrient absorption, metabolic changes, and decreased bone density by supplementing a healthy and active lifestyle with an age-appropriate multi-vitamin.
Do we need a multi-vitamin
Adequate intake of Vitamins B, C, D, E, magnesium, calcium, and zinc is important every day!
Did you know…
- B Vitamins, especially pantothenic acid, B5, are vital for turning food into fuel! You can help to maintain a healthy metabolism by taking a B complex supplement every day as B vitamins are water-soluble and not stored by the body. Some studies also show B5 can help to lower cholesterol.
- Magnesium powers more than 300 processes in the body! By taking a daily magnesium supplement – often more bioavailable than what is found in food – you can combat oxidative stress and other age-related conditions.
Because our needs evolve with different life stages, it’s important that your multi-vitamin evolves with you.
Age-Appropriate
If you’re a man over 50, you should also look for a formula that contains lycopene. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant known for its positive effect on prostate health.
If you’re a woman over 50, Ginkgo can help to improve memory and cognitive function, helping you stay alert on foggier days. Plus, it can promote peripheral circulation.
A good multi-vitamin does not just contain vital nutrients, it combines them so they work together optimally.
Multivitamin Heroes and Heroines
As we age, it’s important to get enough calcium for bone health. But did you know calcium is most effective when paired with magnesium in a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium? Magnesium helps to build bone density and prevent the onset of osteoporosis.
Why do I need an age-appropriate multi-vitamin?
Men, women, children, and seniors all have different nutrient requirements and dosages.
Our multi-vitamins specifically formulated for 50+ provide the following benefits:
- Energy metabolism
- Collagen formation to maintain healthy bones
- Normal muscle function, including the heart
- Cognitive function
- Liver function, plus prostate health in men.
- Relief from joint pain associated with conditions such as arthritis
Your daily care does not stop there!
Lifestyle Factors
A multi-vitamin is not a panacea and it’s important to supplement it with certain lifestyle adjustments.
-
A healthy diet ensures your nutritional needs are met through food and supplementation. Include fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. Avoid over-consuming saturated fat and sugars to keep your body in tip-top shape.
- Daily physical activity also contributes to a well-functioning body. Weight-bearing exercises help to promote strong bones and allow for rest and recuperation.
- Plan for habit-stacking strategies when you add supplements to your routine. For example, take them at the same time every morning or while waiting for the kettle to boil.
Choose a multi-vitamin that covers the essentials and is age-appropriate. A well-formulated multi-vitamin will have your best interests at heart and will contain other relevant nutrients!
