Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps our bodies to absorb calcium, which is essential for bone health. It’s possible to get too much of this vitamin.

• The chance of contracting a disease
• Chances of bone and back discomfort
• Bone and hair fall

Although you should technically be able to get your daily vitamin D by being in the sunlight for 15 minutes, the reality is that over 40 percent of people in the United States don’t. Vitamin D is hard to obtain when you live in cold areas, work 9-5, and wear sunscreen (which blocks vitamin synthesizing). Taub-Dix recommends that you look for the vitamin in your multivitamin.

Magnesium

Magnesium, an essential mineral that can be obtained through food and supplements, is required. Lerman says that magnesium is essential for our bone health and energy production. However, a large number of people are magnesium deficient because they aren’t eating the right foods, not because they need supplements. Before you decide to take supplements, eat more pumpkin, spinach, and artichoke, as well as beans, soybeans, and tofu.

Calcium

Over 40% of the U.S. population doesn’t get enough calcium from their diet not even from their body care products. This means those people aren’t getting the mineral they need for strong teeth and bones. Women especially begin losing bone mass earlier and consuming sufficient calcium right from the beginning is the best nutritional defense against this loss.

Zinc

“Zinc is usually lower in people who are older and those who are who are stressed,” says Lerman. Which, (hello!) Everyone. This is logical. Zinc helps to strengthen the immune system and aids in the utilization of protein, carbohydrates, and fat to provide energy. Zinc is also helpful in wound healing.

Folate

Folate (or folic acid) is most well-known for aiding in fetus development and for preventing birth defects. Folate is also important when you want to increase your nails, fight depression, or combat inflammation.
