Start Your Day Right: The Daily 4™ Routine

The Daily 4 is the Nature Made® suggested base for your daily wellness routine. Keeping a consistent and easy supplement routine can support your overall well-being, and The Daily 4 simplifies that process.

We're creatures of habit; we make up our days with preferences, routines, and patterns that guide us consistently. Like a cup of herbal tea before bed as part of your daily self-care essentials, an easy supplement routine can support your overall well-being. However, much like how habits can be difficult to break, routines can also be challenging to begin. When creating a supplement routine, it's essential to know what supplements you may benefit from, when to take them, and which products pair well together. That's why Nature Made® is introducing The Daily 4, a simple selection of four daily supplements picked by our nutrition science experts to help guide you into a simple, supportive supplement routine.

The Benefits of a Daily Routine

Consistency is a key component of nutrition. Your body needs nutrients every day; ensuring that you get those nutrients daily can support your physical and mental health. The best way to support your body with essential nutrients is by including them in a balanced diet; however, access to nutritious food, regular mealtimes, and dietary restrictions can make a consistent balanced diet difficult at times.

A daily supplement routine provides a convenient way to keep a consistent source of key nutrients, which can support your overall health.

Think of it like exercise: you don't get in shape by working out once and never again, or even working out randomly, sometimes weeks apart. The key to useful exercise is consistency. This is much the same with nutrition and supplementation; providing your body with consistent nutrients with a daily routine is much more helpful than doing it sporadically.

The Daily 4: An Easy Starting Point

The Daily 4 is a hand-picked selection of Nature Made® supplements to work as a beginner’s supplement guide. These supplements cover several bases, working together to support your wellness goals. Our Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Adults provide key nutrients as a solid base for your supplement routine, High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Capsules support muscle relaxation along with heart, nerve, and bone health, Digestive Probiotics Extra Strength‡ Gummies help support your gut microbiome, and Extra Strength Omega-3†† From Fish Oil Minis helps support a healthy heart.

These are Nature Made®’s four best supplements for beginners to support your overall well-being by providing your body with a daily routine of essential vitamins and minerals, healthy bacteria for the gut, and Omega-3s to support a healthy heart for a whole-body approach to health. Our nutrition science experts have assembled these supplements, making your choice of a daily wellness routine simple and convenient.


Multivitamins: Support Your Overall Wellness

Our bodies require a wide variety of vitamins and minerals every day. The best way to get these is through a balanced, nutritious diet, but sometimes, filling in essential nutrients can be difficult or temporarily out of reach. A multivitamin helps to bridge these possible nutrient gaps, providing a convenient source of essential vitamins and minerals so you can feel secure in your daily nutrition. The Daily 4 includes Nature Made® Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Adults, which provides a daily dose of essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Biotin, and Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K, Calcium, Magnesium, Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Manganese, Chromium and Molybdenum.

Multivitamins support your overall health by filling in possible nutrient gaps. These nutrients support our body's essential functions:

  • Calcium supports strong bones.
  • Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C support our immune system.
  • All 8 B Vitamins support brain function.

And much more; that's why an Advanced Multivitamin is the first step on The Daily 4.

Magnesium: Body Relaxation Support

Magnesium is part of more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body; that means there are over 300 things your body needs to do that it requires Magnesium for. That's a pretty important mineral if you ask me. Nature Made® High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Capsules serve as the second step in The Daily 4, supporting heart health, bone health, and muscle relaxation with 200 mg of easy-on-the-stomach Magnesium Glycinate. Magnesium in the bloodstream is received by receptors in our muscle cells, which allows them to unclench and relax after a long day's work.

Omega-3s: Support a Healthy Heart

There's nothing "fishy" about fish oil; studies recommend eating one or two servings of fatty fish (like salmon) per week for the heart-healthy Omega-3s found in fish oil.[1] If you don't have access to seafood (or don't like the flavor), fish oil supplementation can be a great way to shore up your intake of Omega-3s EPA and DHA. For this reason, Nature Made® Extra Strength Omega-3†† From Fish Oil Mini Softgels are the next stop on The Daily 4 journey, providing 1000 mg of Omega-3 for heart health support per serving.

These long-chain fatty acids are mostly known for their relation to heart health; supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. But that's not the only thing they're good for! These Omega-3s also support a healthy brain and eyes, providing well-rounded support for your overall well-being.

Probiotics: Gut Health, Overall Health

Our last stop on this journey (for now!) is a probiotic for gut health. You may have seen the word “probiotics” on the foil lid of your Greek yogurt container before peeling it off and licking it clean; Probiotics are beneficial bacteria often found in fermented products like yogurt, kefir, or kombucha. These bacteria integrate into the complex system of bacteria in our digestive tract, known as the "gut microbiome."

You can support gut health with daily supplements by providing your gut microbiome with good bacteria to crowd out the bad bacteria. Nature Made® Digestive Probiotics Extra Strength‡ Gummies support healthy digestion by bolstering the pre-existing good bacteria in your gut with 8 billion (with a B) CFUs♦ of Bacillus coagulans IS-2. These gummies help support digestive health, and they're made with natural fruit flavors and colors derived from natural sources. They serve as the final quadrant of The Daily 4.

Nature Made® nutrition science experts have put together The Daily 4 to provide a convenient and supportive base for your refreshed supplement routine. Consistency is vital; remembering to take your supplements gives your body daily support. One of the easiest ways to help yourself remember your daily supplement routine is by attaching it to a pre-existing routine.

For example, do you wake up and have breakfast the same way every morning? Try taking your supplements with breakfast, the benefits here are twofold. For one, it makes it easier to remember if you've already got a routine set up, and for two, most supplements should be taken with water and a meal containing dietary fat for proper absorption, so taking them at a pre-existing mealtime can serve both purposes.

Nature Made® supplements are made to our high-quality standards. Always follow the suggested use and dosage on the label when taking a dietary supplement, and it's essential to consult with your primary care provider or another healthcare professional before beginning or changing your supplement routine.
