Three vitamins to supplement after age 40 to help slow down aging

NGUYỄN LY |

Experts believe that supplementing with some essential vitamins can help maintain health and prevent chronic diseases.

Vitamin D supports bones and immunity

Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone density maintenance. The ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight gradually decreases with age, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Dr. Michael Holick, a vitamin D research expert in the US, said that supplementing with vitamin D can help maintain muscle and bone strength and support the immune system, especially in middle-aged and older people.

Vitamin B12 helps protect nerves and create blood

Vitamin B12 is necessary for red blood cell production and maintaining nerve function. When older, the ability to absorb this vitamin gradually decreases. According to the Harvard Medical School, vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, memory decline and anemia. Adequate supplementation helps maintain energy and brain function.

Vitamin C helps slow down aging and boost immunity

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect cells from damage and support collagen production. Vitamin C helps boost immunity, improve skin health and support tissue recovery.

Experts recommend prioritizing vitamin supplementation from natural foods such as fish, eggs, fruits and green vegetables. If necessary, supplements can be used as directed by your doctor to ensure safety and long-term effectiveness.
