Vitamin Supplements for Older Women : Ideas For Women Health ...

Vitamin supplements can be a touchy subject and very controversial. If you are taking in your vitamins in a healthy diet rich in green veggies, lean meats, and dairy products you may not need a supplement for daily vitamins. However, how many women at any age eat a completely healthy diet? Most physicians recommend a complete multi-vitamin.

Daily multi-vitamins can be confusing too as there are those labels that indicate one vitamin for menopausal women, one for younger women, one for heart, one for vision, etc. It can be hard to decide which one is the correct one for you. It can also be confusing to know if you should add an additional vitamin supplement.

Women over 50 need a multivitamin that includes the B vitamins. If you are taking a multi-vitamin with the B complex vitamins included, you probably do not need an additional vitamin B supplement. Your body will only use what it needs and excrete the rest. An overdose of vitamin B can also cause nerve pain and irritability. Vitamins are one of the positive proofs that one is good two is NOT?better.? You can take too many vitamins.

One supplement that may be good to add is Luten. If your multivitamin does not contain Luten and many don?t, consider taking this supplement every day for improved eye health. As we age, eyes need special nutrients and Luten has proven to show significant influence in eye health especially in preventing or maintaining eyes with macular degeneration.

The key is to discuss your vitamin supplements with your physician and to read the labels to know what you are taking. Look at the percent of each nutrient the vitamin is giving you. Take only as prescribed on the label, one a day is usually the daily dose. And continue to eat a healthy diet rich in natural vitamins and minerals. Women over 50 need to maintain and can still improve their health status and vitamins can be helpful in this goal.
