Essential Supplements for Men as Adults

Multivitamins

Multivitamins are a great foundation for any supplement routine. Nature Made^® multivitamins contain many key essential vitamins and minerals, making them an easy choice for those hoping to support their nutrient intake. We know your body needs personalized support at different ages, so our collection of men’s multivitamins include Men's Multivitamin Tablets and Men's Multivitamin Tablets 50+ to suit your changing needs. Nature Made^® Multivitamins for Him include key nutrients to provide the daily nutritional support your body needs. Check out Nature Made^® Advanced Multi for Him Gummies in Mixed Berry with other natural flavors if you want a tastier vitamin.^†

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Heart-healthy Omega-3 Fatty Acids DHA and EPA are naturally found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna. Did you know that over 2/3 of U.S. adults (68%) do not consume enough EPA and DHA in their daily diet to meet recommendations based on the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans?[1] These fatty acids help support a healthy heart, and 250 mg of DHA supports a healthy brain and healthy eyes. The best way to get Omega-3s is by eating at least two servings of fatty fish per week, but if your diet doesn't include regular seafood, Nature Made® offers several fish oil supplements, like our Fish Oil Softgels.^†

Vitamin D

It's never a bad time for immune function and bone health support! As we age, our bones and immune system are essential to keep healthy, so do yourself a favor and give your body the Vitamin D it needs! Vitamin D is a good vitamin for men, and it’s unique because we don't get most of it from our food; the human body gets most Vitamin D from sunshine on our skin! It is present in some fish and eggs, but it's estimated that 95% of Americans don't receive enough Vitamin D from their diet alone, and nearly one-third are Vitamin D deficient.[2,3] If you’re looking for an easy way to support your dietary Vitamin D intake, check out our Vitamin D3 Softgels. Vitamin D3 is the body's preferred form of Vitamin D and is more effective at raising Vitamin D levels in the body. Two daily gummies help support healthy immune function, aid in Calcium absorption to support strong bones and teeth and support muscle function. In addition to all that, they taste like strawberry, peach, and mango, along with other natural flavors!^†

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports essential nerve, muscle, and heart function, helps convert food into cellular energy, and helps relax the body. How can one little mineral do so many things? It's fitting that a mineral that does so much also comes in various options to suit your needs! Nature Made^® High Absorption Magnesium Citrate Gummies come in a citrate form that is more highly absorbable than Magnesium Oxide, helping you get the Magnesium you need to support more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Are you looking for something gentle on the stomach? Our High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Gummies are chelated and have better absorption than other Magnesium supplement forms such as Magnesium Oxide.^†

Probiotics

You've probably heard of probiotics; they're a popular buzzword for digestive health. So, are they worth the hype? Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in your gut, usually provided through our diet from fermented dairy foods like yogurt and kefir. Providing your body with sources of probiotics helps keep your gut bacteria in balance, helping to support healthy digestion! Digestion is vital at any age, and taking a daily probiotic supplement can help support your digestive balance and healthy gut flora. Nature Made^® Digestive Probiotics Ultra Strength‡ Gummies provide at least 8 billion live cells of Bacillus coagulans IS-2 per two daily gummies.♦ I don't know about you, but 8 billion seems like a lot of anything!^†

Age-Specific Supplements for Men

In Your 20s and 30s

For many of us, our 20s and 30s are the most active times of our lives. That's why picking our best supplements for men can help keep you moving through life's adventures by supporting your muscles and cellular energy! Vitamin B12 helps your body convert food into cellular energy, and Nature Made^® B12 Gummies provide 1000 mcg of this essential vitamin per serving. Our High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Gummies support nerve, bone, and heart health and help relax your body in a highly bioavailable form.^†

In Your 40s and 50s

When you reach your 40s and 50s, supporting your heart health is especially important. This can mean regular exercise and sleep, but always try to back up these healthy habits with good nutrition! Check out this blog for some tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Here’s some of the best supplements for men in their 40s and 50s.^†

One way to support your heart is through CoQ10. Coenzyme Q-10 is a compound found in most cells in our bodies, but it's primarily concentrated in the organs with the highest energy needs; chief among them is the heart. CoQ10 is essential for energy production in the mitochondria. Nature Made^® CoQ10 Softgels provide 100mg of CoQ10 to help support heart function. Certain cholesterol-lowering statin drugs, which can inhibit CoQ10 production in the body, these CoQ10 softgels can help replenish this important nutrient. CoQ10 is not intended to serve as a replacement for statin drug therapy.^†

Talk to Primary Care Provider to Take Care of Your Health

Of course, the critical first step in tuning your personal health strategies is talking to your primary care provider or another medical health professional. Your primary care provider will know your needs best and can help you take the proper steps to provide personalized care.

60s and Beyond

Upon reaching your wisest years, it is important to focus on your bone health and a healthy brain. Some of the best supplements for men in their 60s and beyond are Calcium and Vitamin D, which are two essential nutrients for bone health. Our Calcium with Vitamin D3 Softgels pack in Calcium (to help support strong bones) and Vitamin D3 (to improve Calcium absorption) to help you meet your daily Calcium needs. That's what I call teamwork!†

You can support a healthy brain, healthy heart, and healthy eyes into your elder years with Extra Strength Omega-3†† From Fish Oil Softgels, which provide 2800 mg of Fish Oil with Fatty Acids EPA and DHA. These softgels are specially made to reduce fishy odor, aftertaste, and burps and to help support a healthy mood.†

Should Men Take Vitamins Every Day?

One of the best ways to support your body is by providing it with the nutrients it needs throughout every stage of your life. You should aim to get most of your nutrients through a balanced diet, but sometimes hectic schedules and availability can get in the way of regular balanced meals. We’ve got some guidance for common questions, like “What vitamins should men take?” and “What vitamins should I take every day?”

Starting a supplement routine can help bridge these potential nutrient gaps and help you get good vitamins for men. Always consult your primary care provider, pharmacist, or other medical professional before beginning or changing your supplement routine. That's the best way to get personalized guidance!

We're committed to offering a wide range of options to help you target specific health goals and nutrient gaps! Nature Made® is the #1 Pharmacist Recommended Vitamin & Supplement Brand,* and we are committed to high-quality supplements.
