As we age, our bodies transform: our metabolism slows, nutrient absorption decreases, and our immune system reduces. What was once sufficient in youth may not be enough in later life. Therefore, keeping good health after age 60 requires drawing special attention to what our bodies most urgently need: crucial vitamins to keep vitality, strong bones, an active mind, and a functioning immune system.

A balanced diet will always be the cornerstone of good health, but in many cases, older adults need to supplement their diet with specific vitamins that the body no longer creates or absorbs as well as it used to.

The 4 crucial vitamins that all older adults should take

1. Vitamin D – Protector of bones and the immune system

Benefits:

• Supports bones and prevents fractures.
• Enhances calcium absorption.
• Boosts the immune system.
• Helps prevent autoimmune diseases.

Differences you will feel when taking it:
