Vitamin supplements can be effective at treating deficiencies in certain nutrients when you’re not getting enough of them from your diet or lifestyle.

Your diet should always be the first place you look to for your vitamin intake, but if you find that you’re struggling to get enough of a certain nutrient, vitamin supplements could help you get back on track.

When choosing your vitamin supplements, we’d recommend asking your doctor or pharmacist for advice that’s tailored to you.

They can help you to assess your lifestyle and nutritional needs and make sure these are met through a balanced diet with food supplements to back up your intake if you need them.

When you get older, you may begin to lose some of the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to stay healthy and balanced.

Vitamin D can have immense benefits to your bone, muscle and teeth health by helping your body absorb calcium, while vitamin B12 can improve your energy and memory.

Vitamins A, C, and E not only promote healthy skin, but they can be helpful to your immune system, too.

As you age, you may be more at risk of developing serious diseases; taking omega-3 may help to maintain your heart and brain health.

A hormonal imbalance can affect your mood, weight, appetite, and appearance, like your skin and hair.

So, it’s important to provide your body with the supplements it needs to stay healthy and balanced.

The natural plant nutrient diindolylmethane (DIM) promotes hormone, breast, and uterine health, in addition to supporting oestrogen metabolisation.

Omega 3 is anti-inflammatory which may ease certain symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, and can even improve blood flow throughout the body.

Getting the right amounts of all the essential vitamins and minerals is important, but some of them will impact our energy levels more than others.

B vitamins like thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3) and vitamin B12 all contribute to the maintenance of normal energy levels.

Iron, magnesium, and vitamins C and D are also essential for energy.

Before taking any new supplements, you should always check with your GP if you think you may be suffering from the symptoms of a vitamin deficiency.
