Who should take an iron supplement?
Most people are able to get enough iron from diet alone, but some people who might not be getting enough iron may benefit from taking an iron supplement.
If you’re pregnant, have heavy periods, follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or have a blood disorder, you may need to take an iron supplement to ensure you’re getting the correct amount your body needs.
You should, however, check with your GP first so they can test your blood to see if your iron levels are low.
Who should take a calcium supplement?
Calcium helps to build and maintain strong bones and teeth.
Most people get enough calcium through their diet, but certain people may benefit from taking a calcium supplement.
If you’re elderly, you’re more likely to be at risk for fractures and osteoporosis, so if you’re not getting enough calcium in your diet, you may benefit from taking a supplement.
Vegans and those who are lactose-free are also at risk of a deficiency as calcium is typically found in dairy products and fish.

If your child doesn’t like milk, a supplement may be a good alternative to ensure that they’re developing as they should.
What are the benefits of magnesium supplements?
Magnesium is essential for maintaining normal blood pressure, heart rhythm and strong bones. If you’re low in magnesium, taking a magnesium supplement may result in improvements in your blood pressure and mood, as well as better blood sugar management and a lower risk of developing serious health conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
What are the benefits of taking zinc?
Zinc is on par with vitamin C when it comes to protecting your immune system, and it can even help with the growth and development of your baby during pregnancy, with some studies suggesting that zinc might help women avoid going into early labour.
If you have diabetes, you’re more likely to have a lower amount of zinc in your body, and it’s been said that zinc may help to control blood sugar in those who have the condition.
Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties and may help to calm acne, in addition to improving eye, heart and blood vessel health.
