Men's vitamin and mineral supplements
Adult men need to make sure they're getting the requisite vitamins and minerals their body requires to stay healthy and fit.
If you're not getting these essential nutrients from your diet, then vitamin and mineral supplements are a great way to plug the nutritional gaps, and help improve your general health.
Men, just like women, need vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to keep their body in tip-top shape, but many don't get enough of them from food alone.
That's where supplements come in.
Supplements, such as a daily multivitamin, are a great way to get the key vitamins and minerals your body needs every day, without having to worry about getting them solely from food.
Specific vitamin supplements are especially important for men with certain medical health conditions or lifestyles that might make it difficult for them to get all the vitamins they need through even the most healthy diet alone.
Minerals for men's health
Minerals play an important role in the body as they are essential to the body's functions.
Most men do not get enough essential minerals to maintain normal function through diet, which can lead to problems like a weakened immune system, high blood pressure and heart disease.
The top two minerals that men should look for in a multivitamin are calcium and magnesium, because they are essential for heart and bone health, as well as muscle function.
But that's not all:
Calcium
Calcium is important for heart health because it helps keep blood pressure low and arteries clear from plaque build-up.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an essential nutrient for men, as it's needed for at least 700 different functions in the body. It's important for bone health, muscle function, blood pressure regulation, and heart health. Magnesium also plays a role in energy production and can help reduce tiredness.
Magnesium can also help lower blood pressure by relaxing muscles around the arteries so that they do not tighten up as much during periods of intense stress or anxiety.
Magnesium is frequently lacking in men's diets. When you don't get enough magnesium from your diet (or perhaps you're not absorbing enough of it), this can be reflected in your mood and energy levels.
While depression is often linked to low serotonin levels in the brain, researchers have also found that magnesium deficiency may contribute to this condition as well.
Plus, studies indicate that men who consume plenty of magnesium tend to live longer than those who don't - and they're less likely to develop cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes.
Zinc
Zinc is an important mineral for the male body. It's needed for proper sperm production, muscle growth and repair, wound healing and tissue repair, immune system function, and protein metabolism.
Zinc deficiency can occur when you don't consume enough zinc-rich food sources, or if your body loses too much of this mineral through excessive sweating or bleeding.
Zinc also plays a role in sexual health. It may help to prevent prostate cancer by slowing down cell division within the gland. It supports healthy testosterone levels in men, and it helps sperm cells swim faster because zinc helps form essential enzymes that provide energy for cell movement. Think of zinc as the "fuel" behind your motor skills.
The best vitamins for men
Men's bodies are physiologically different from women's. And that difference can have a huge impact on their health if it's not supported.
For example, men have higher levels of testosterone than women do, which increases their risk for heart disease and diabetes.
So, what are the best vitamins for men's health?
While there are many vitamins that your body needs in order to function properly, some of the most important ones include:
Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps with vision and skin health, it boosts immune function, and prevents night blindness.
Our multivitamin contains 400μg RE vitamin A.
Vitamin B1
Also known as thiamine, vitamin B1 is essential for energy production and brain health including maintaining normal mental performance.
It's also thought to reduce inflammation associated with arthritis or high blood pressure.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, helps support red blood cell formation, which keeps oxygen flowing efficiently throughout the body.
Our men's multivitamin gummies contain 1.4mg riboflavin per serving.
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, supports healthy circulation by dilating blood vessels and boosting good cholesterol levels while decreasing bad cholesterol levels that could cause coronary heart disease or stroke, if left untreated for a long enough period of time.
While B vitamins are water soluble, niacin can be harmful if taken in large doses over time, so be sure not to take more than what is recommended on the product label of your men's supplements and stay within the daily recommended intake (which is around 16.5mg a day for men).
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a crucial nutrient for overall wellbeing, and is particularly vital for men who are over 50. It helps to maintain healthy nerve cells, which enables you to maintain balance and strength as you age.
Vitamin B12 also supports red blood cell production, and protein synthesis. If you're worried about your memory or have a hard time remembering things, or you simply want to support your body in maintaining normal cognitive function, getting your daily dose of vitamin B12 might be what you need.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a key antioxidant in the body. Antioxidants are molecules that help protect the body from free radicals, which are unstable oxygen atoms that can damage DNA, cells and tissues.
Vitamin C neutralises these harmful free radicals before they can cause cell damage. It's also essential for the health of your immune system because it helps make antibodies - a type of protein - that fight infections such as colds or flus.
If you're not getting enough vitamin C from your diet, taking a supplement is one way to make sure you're meeting your daily needs - especially if you exercise regularly, or live in a cold climate where you're exposed to more germs than usual.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that plays a key role in your body's overall health. It helps control blood pressure, promotes strong bones and teeth, and can even reduce the risk of heart disease.
Vitamin D deficiency is common among men because they tend to have lower levels of vitamin D than women do. Many men don't get enough vitamin D from diet alone, so taking supplements are a great way to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need each day.
It's recommended that adults and children over the age of 1 year get 10 micrograms (400IU) of vitamin D3 per day (the active form of vitamin D), but this number can vary depending on factors like age, weight, sex, and lifestyle choices, such as whether or not someone smokes cigarettes or drinks alcohol regularly.
Our Multivitamin Gummies for Men contain 25 micrograms (1000IU) vitamin D per daily serving.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties which help keep your skin looking young and healthy.
It's also used by the body to support healthy eyesight and vision, as well as promote brain health and prevent certain forms of cancer.
What to look for when choosing a multivitamin for men?
You should always speak with a medical professional before starting any new supplement regimen just in case there are any contraindications involved in their use alongside your prescribed medications/supplements already being taken regularly.
Men's vitamins should contain the key nutrients men need. A comprehensive multivitamin, like ours, should contain all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly, including:
- B vitamins, such as thiamine and folic acid
- Vitamin C
It may also contain:
- Antioxidants like vitamin E or selenium
- Minerals like calcium, magnesium and iodine
- Probiotics
- Herbs like ginger root extract or ginseng root powder (which may enhance immune function)
- L-carnitine (an amino acid that helps convert fat into energy)
- Zinc
