One of the most common questions around vitamins is, "What vitamins should I take daily?" This answer is going to be different for everyone, but we do have some guidelines and recommendations on what to look for when determining your daily vitamin routine!
Top on our list of recommended daily vitamins is a multivitamin. Multivitamins provide essential vitamins and minerals that help you meet your daily nutritional needs. A multivitamin also provides vital nutrients for foundational support for immune, muscle, and bone health. Nature Made multis are specially formulated with age, gender, and life stage in mind. Look for gender- and age-specific formulations to help meet your needs, such as our Advanced Multivitamin 50+ for Her or Multi for Him Gummies.†
Multivitamins have several vitamins you might miss in your daily diet.[1] Here are some common vitamins found in multivitamins and what they can do for you!
B Vitamins are a group of vitamins that support our cellular energy metabolism, and they each have their individual benefits, too! Vitamin B2, Riboflavin, helps support cellular energy production. Vitamin B3, Niacin, helps support nervous system function and convert food into cellular energy. Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid (or Folate in food sources) are both important for proper red blood cell formation and supporting the production of neurotransmitters needed for mood health. Vitamin B12 is necessary for normal nervous system function; it is an essential supplement if you're vegetarian because you may not get enough from your diet alone since B12 is found mainly in animal foods.†
Most multivitamins you'll find include Vitamin A, and for good reason! It helps support a healthy immune system and is essential for healthy eye function. Vitamin A is also a skin health nutrient! Vitamin A can be found in high amounts in liver, fish, and eggs. Plant sources of Vitamin A (as beta-carotene) are leafy green vegetables & orange and yellow fruits and vegetables, like sweet potato, tomatoes, carrots, and cantaloupe. Vitamin A is added to some foods, including fortified milk and some ready-to-eat cereals.†
Good food sources of Vitamin E include wheat germ, seeds, nuts, and nut butters, like peanut butter. It can also be found naturally in some seafood and in smaller amounts in some fruits and vegetables, such as avocado. A multivitamin or Vitamin E supplement is a good alternative source of this essential nutrient. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals in the body to supports a healthy immune system and healthy skin as you age.†
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin most commonly found in the diet as Vitamin K1 (in plant foods like leafy green vegetables and dark berries) and Vitamin K2 (in fermented foods and animal products). Vitamin K1 supports healthy vascular function and a healthy circulatory system. Vitamin K2 works with Calcium in your body to support healthy bones. Most multis provide a source of Vitamin K1. Additionally, some supplements combine Vitamin K2 with Vitamin D3 since these two vitamins work together to support strong, healthy bones.†
Vitamin C is not only an antioxidant that supports your immune system, but it also increases iron absorption from food and is needed for collagen synthesis to support overall skin health.
Almost ½ of U.S adults don’t get enough Vitamin C from their daily diets, so you can easily supplement this vital nutrient in a multivitamin or a Vitamin C supplement.[1]†
Many multivitamins include Vitamin D, an essential vitamin supporting the body's natural immune defenses and bone, teeth, and muscle health! Our bodies naturally produce Vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Getting fifteen minutes of sunlight every day (without sunscreen) is recommended, although most adults do not produce enough due to various factors. Very few foods provide Vitamin D, and studies show that 95% of Americans do not get enough Vitamin D through diet alone![1] If you are interested in additional Vitamin D supplementation, it's essential to have your levels tested by a healthcare provider to determine the correct dosing; Nature Made offers a variety of Vitamin D Supplements to meet your needs!†
Many multis provide 100% or more of the daily value for multiple nutrients. However, some nutrients, including minerals like Calcium or Magnesium, may not be found in all multivitamins. Meeting 100% of your daily needs for these nutrients should be done through your diet or additional supplements like Nature Made® Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc with Vitamin D3 Tablets.†
Your body uses Iron to produce hemoglobin (an essential protein found in red blood cells), enabling red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. If you are a woman under 50, you should consider taking a multivitamin with Iron; it's an essential nutrient for women in their reproductive years.†
Calcium is essential to supporting our strong bones as we age! Women tend to have lower bone density than men and may want to consider supplementing their Calcium intake to support and maintain bone strength.†
Magnesium is an essential mineral necessary for more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body! Nearly 54% of Americans need to get more Magnesium in their diets.[1] Magnesium has a variety of functions, supporting muscle relaxation and nerve, heart, and bone health.†
Along with vitamins and minerals, Nature Made offers a variety of supplements with other benefits that may be a great addition to your daily routine.
Heart-healthy Omega-3s (DHA and EPA) are primarily found in fatty fish, like salmon, tuna, sardines, and anchovies. If you are not a fish eater, consider adding an Omega-3 supplement, like Nature Made® Fish Oil Softgels, into your vitamin and supplement routine.†
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that help the digestive tract function properly. By reinforcing your gut's population of good bacteria, probiotics can help keep your good bacteria in healthy numbers. Nature Made® specially formulates our probiotics to support your gut in different ways. Our Digestive Probiotics Extra Strength Gummies provide a daily source of Bacillus coagulans IS-2 to naturally help support your gut in two raspberry and cherry with other natural flavors gummies. For two strain support, check out our Probiotics Extra Strength 15 Billion CFU from Live Cultures Capsules, which include clinically studied probiotics that work in both the small and large intestines to help support digestive balance and healthy gut flora.‡†
The first thing you should do when considering what vitamins to add to your daily routine is speak with your healthcare provider. Just ask them, "What vitamins should I take everyday?" A healthcare provider can help you determine which vitamins you may need to take daily from exams and conversations about your health, lifestyle, and nutrition. Take note of food groups you lack in your daily diet. For example, looking into a Vitamin C supplement might be prudent if your diet is low in fruits. If you don't eat much meat, you might be low in Vitamin B12, Iron, and Zinc, nutrients primarily found in animal products. Some dietary gaps are more common than others.
Everyone has different reasons for using supplements! Vegans and vegetarians might take supplements to help fill in nutrients from a missing food group. If you're allergic to certain foods (or don't like them!), you can use supplements to help provide the nutrients you lack. People with busy schedules can also find dietary supplements helpful for peace of mind, knowing you're getting the nutrients you need without sweating over meals you might not have complete control over.
To help determine which vitamins and supplements you should take daily, it’s best to first meet with your healthcare provider. Through simple tests, they can help determine which nutrients you might be lacking and help determine proper dosing.
Everyone’s nutrient needs are different, but a good place to start is looking at common daily essential nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, B Vitamins, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and Calcium. A registered dietitian or healthcare practitioner can help determine your recommended daily intake and whether a supplement routine or multivitamin can help fill gaps.
A balanced diet is the best foundation for nutrient support, especially including foods that naturally fortify your intake, like leafy greens, fruits, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, lean proteins, and whole grains. However, many people still fall short of key nutrients such as Vitamin C, Magnesium, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, and Calcium. In these cases, a daily multivitamin or targeted vitamin and mineral supplement can help meet what your body needs for immune, bone, and cellular energy support.†
Vitamins and minerals are measured in milligrams (mg) or micrograms (mcg) to show precise amounts of each nutrient. Larger-dose nutrients like Magnesium, Calcium, and Niacin appear in milligrams. A multivitamin helps ensure you get the recommended daily levels of these vitamins and minerals, but speak to your healthcare provider to determine which is right for you.
