Life changes but our core nutritional needs remain the same over time, such as protein, fiber, essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, calcium and zinc.  To ensure you get enough, you may need to concider taking supplements to fill in the gaps in your diet.  A good quality daily multivitamin provides a family of vitamins and minerals including a Vitamin B complex including Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12.  To B or not to B, who would have guessed there are so many vitamin Bs to be worried about.  Your multivitamin should also have between 200mg to 1,000mg of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E and zinc.

To avoid osteoporosis later in life, women need an increased amount of calcium to preserve bone mass.  For women under 50, 1000mg per day is recommended, after 50 you need to increase that to 1200 mg per day.  Your calcium should be taken with magnesium at a 3 to 2 ratio, so 1200mg of calcium should be with 800 mg of magnesium.  A minimum of 400mg of vitamin D per day is also recommended, although I would suggest around 2500 to 5000 mg, but you should discuss actual levels with your doctor.

Now we can’t forget the Omazing Omega 3 fatty acids which may protect against heart disease, depression, osteoporosis as well as a wide range of other conditions.  It is good for your joints and your skin, between 1000 and 4000 mg per day is recommended.  Try our Omega 3 fusion which is 3500 mg of Omega with both DHA and EPA and being a liquid it is absorbed better in the body.  The great lemon taste will surprise you, my teenage sons say it tastes like skittles, so taste the rainbow.
