Life gets busy. And the nutrients you get from your food could be lacking. But, with the right supplements, you can enjoy enough energy and support to get through even your busiest days. It’s important to look for vitamins that truly meet your unique needs at this lifestage.
You may know the obvious things you need, but there are important nuances to look for when choosing your daily supplements. Beyond the expected, look for options that include these necessary ingredients:
Methylfolate
Folate supports your energy production (1, 2), brain’s processing speed (3), and memory (4). And it is needed for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine (5), which affect sleep (6), cognitive function (7), and mood (8). And it also affects physical and emotional health.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin, also known as vitamin B12, is needed to make serotonin. Serotonin affects mood, sleep, memory, and more (9, 10, 11). It is also needed for the body’s energy production (12, 13). And when combined with Methylfolate, it helps the body form red blood cells and produces SAMe, a compound involved in immune function and mood. Together, they also help iron work better in the body.
Iron
Iron attaches to red blood cells and brings oxygen to the body and the brain. Without it, the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen to make energy. And it helps red blood cell production (14), supports attention span (15), and supports your body’s immune response (16).
Vitamin D
It’s possible for you to get vitamin D without worrying about sun damage. Proper vitamin D levels may boost mood (17), support immunity (18), and build healthy bones—all so important at this life stage (19). Most people are deficient in vitamin D, so it’s important to add this supplement to your daily routine.
Probiotics
By adding probiotics to the above essentials, you can support a healthy gut-brain connection. Your gut, through its Gut Microbe System, influences your brain's function (20, 21). Plus, with probiotics, you’ll get the added benefits of promoting better digestion and healthy regularity, and a supported immune response.
Omega-3
The beneficial fatty acids DHA and EPA are linked to healthy memory, brain function, cellular health and many more of your body’s processes (22). Many people do not get enough Omega-3 from diet alone. In order to feel your best each day, increasing your intake of omega-3 EPA+DHA is important.
