When life gets hectic with the demands of work, stress, school, and family, it’s easy to overlook the importance of health. But taking care of yourself is crucial—even during these busy times. One way to support your health is getting the right nutrients. This can be done by eating a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, healthy fats, nuts, seeds, and beans. However, some people prefer to also take supplements to support their nutrient intake and help fill any nutritional gaps. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of vitamins and minerals, and which nutrients to keep in mind for men’s health.

Why are vitamins important for men?

Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in supporting your overall health and wellness.* These essential nutrients are necessary for various body processes, such as energy metabolism, muscle function, and heart health.*

While everyone requires the same nutrients, it’s important to note that the recommended amounts can vary by gender and age. Men have unique nutritional needs, and understanding these differences can help ensure you’re providing your body with the right vitamins and minerals to support your well-being.* For instance, magnesium, zinc, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and some B vitamins have higher recommended intakes for men compared to women. On the other hand, men need less iron compared to pre-menopausal women.

Benefits of men’s multivitamin

Men’s multivitamins are designed to provide essential nutrients for daily nutrition support.* And while it’s called a multivitamin, many multivitamins contain both vitamins and minerals. Multis offer a convenient way to support your nutrient intake. If you have any questions about which multivitamin or supplement is right for you, please talk to your healthcare provider.

Should men take vitamins every day?

Taking vitamins every day helps your body get some of the nutrients it needs every day. This can be especially important for those who avoid certain foods, whether it be from allergies, a diet, or simply preference. By not eating certain foods or food groups, you may be missing out on key nutrients that your body needs. A multivitamin can help support your vitamin and mineral intake.

Common health concerns for men

Addressing common health concerns is important for overall well-being. By understanding and targeting specific areas of health, you can take proactive steps towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Immune support

Supporting your immune system to keep it working at its best can be critical for good health. Look for multis with vitamins C, D, and zinc to support immune health.*

Bone and muscle support

Strong bones are important for men just like women. While you may think of muscles as being key for good health (and it is!), having strong bones is also vital. Look for multis with calcium and vitamin D for bone and muscle health.*

Energy metabolism

Your body uses the food you eat to turn into fuel for your day, so make sure you fuel your body well with a healthy diet! B vitamins help convert food into cellular energy so look for a multi with a variety of B vitamins such as B12, B6, niacin, and folic acid, for energy metabolism support.*
