New Delhi: Dietary supplements are one of the most needed substances that enhance your diet with nutrients or reduce your risk of health concerns such as osteoporosis or arthritis. Dietary supplement components are sometimes included in foods and beverages.
Calcium:
Calcium, in conjunction with vitamin D, helps to maintain bones healthy at all ages. Fractures can develop in both aged men and women as a result of bone loss. Calcium may be found in milk and milk products (preferably fat-free or low-fat), canned fish with soft bones, dark-green leafy vegetables like kale, and calcium-fortified meals like morning cereals.
Vitamin D:
The majority of Americans consume less vitamin D than is recommended. Consult your doctor before consuming vitamin D-fortified milk and milk products, vitamin D-fortified cereals, and fatty fish, as well as taking a vitamin D supplement.
Vitamin B6:
It is necessary for red blood cell production. It may be found in potatoes, bananas, chicken breasts, and fortified cereals.
Vitamin B12:
This vitamin supports the health of your red blood cells and neurons. While older individuals require the same amount of vitamin B12 as normal adults, some have difficulty absorbing the vitamin through diet. If you have this condition, your doctor may advise you to eat foods enriched with this vitamin or to take a B12 supplement. Because organic vitamin B12 sources are confined to animal foods, strict vegetarians and vegans are more likely to develop vitamin B12 insufficiency. Consult your doctor to see whether taking a B12 supplement is good for you.
