Of course, the best way to get the nutrients you need at every stage of life is to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, thereby negating the need for supplements. But most of us are constrained by time and other factors and forced to prioritize, in which case we opt for the quickest, most convenient way to fill our stomachs and move on. That’s where multivitamins come in. While scientists debate the benefits of multivitamins for otherwise healthy individuals, there is plenty of proof that vitamin supplements can make up for nutrient shortfalls (1). Therefore, taking a multi every day, especially if your diet is less than perfect, is always a good idea. The Right Multivitamins for Men in their 30s and 40sThe average American male has it within their grasp to eat a well-balanced, nutritious diet. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, most do not. This trend away from healthy eating starts in childhood (2) and by the time they are in their 30s many men are facing the side effects of nutrient shortfalls. Because of this, men in their 30s and 40s should consider taking a daily supplement that contains the following vitamins and minerals.
The bottom line is that many of the conditions that affect older men have their roots in nutrient deficiencies from their 30s and 40s. The multivitamin you take at that age then should be aimed at filling those potential nutrient gaps in order to prevent small problems that might later blossom into big ones. The Right Multivitamins for Men in their 50s and olderMen often reach their 50s and beyond having spent decades eating a less than perfect diet. As a result they wind up suffering from various nutrient deficiencies they may not even be aware of. Those nutrient deficiencies may also be causing or contributing to various health problems. Different older men will have different nutritional needs, but as a general rule men over 50 years of age should be taking a multivitamin/multimineral that contains all of the above listed nutrients (vitamins A, B, C, D, calcium and magnesium), plus as many of the following as possible:
The Bottom LineMany of the health problems men experience in old age have their roots in the dietary choices they make when they are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. One way to combat these poor dietary choices is to start taking a multivitamin/multimineral early on to fill nutrient gaps and prevent small problems that could later grow into serious ones. But make no mistake, while multivitamins may help counteract bad food choices, the best approach is to simply eat better. source https://nutritiondietnews.com/what-vitamins-should-men-be-taking-at-different-points-in-their-life/ Via https://nutritiondietnews.tumblr.com/post/666855249969102848
