Whether you’re 40 or 65, eating a variety of whole foods will benefit you for years to come. As you continue to age, however, your body just can’t absorb some nutrients from food as well as it did years ago. Supplements can be beneficial. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best supplements for women over 40. Remember to consult your health care practitioner before starting any new vitamin regimen.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 builds red blood cells and assists in brain function and development. Without it, you may experience low energy levels, memory loss, and nerve damage. It’s estimated that 30 to 50 percent of adults over 50 are B12 deficient. B12 supplements are generally considered to be safe because any excess leaves your body through urine.
