Routines are, well, routine, and it's easy to get locked into one and repeat it without change forever. While consistency is important, sometimes it can be helpful to take some time to re-evaluate your routines and determine whether they’re still working for you. This is true for supplement routines as well, because as we age and life circumstances change, so do our needs.

Nature Made® nutrition science experts have helped navigate the vitamin aisle with The Daily 4, a convenient foundation of some of our best supplements for a new routine. If you are interested in The Daily 4™, consult with your primary care provider or a dietitian so they can help you create a personalized wellness plan to suit your needs.

Why Re-evaluate Your Routine?

Re-evaluating your personalized supplement routine can help you elevate your self-care and create a customized wellness plan to tailor your supplements to your needs.

The field of nutrition is fast-changing, just like life can be, and new forms and blends may better suit your routine and needs as they change, as well.

Supplements like Magnesium come in several forms, whether High Absorption Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Glycinate, which is gentle on the stomach, or Magnesium L-Threonate with Vitamins C & D3 to help support healthy cognitive function.

Listen to your body; it may prefer an alternative form.

Customize Your Wellness Journey with The Daily 4™

The Daily 4™ supplements were chosen as a versatile, convenient way to ground your supplement routine. The Daily 4™ includes a Multivitamin, Magnesium, Probiotics, and Fish Oil, to help support your well-being in a format that can be easily incorporated into diverse lifestyles.

Each of the categories of supplements included in The Daily 4 has a variety of Nature Made® options available, so you can customize it to fit your needs and preferences.

The Daily 4™ regimen can work with your current lifestyle and can be incorporated into some of your existing routines. If you rush out the door in the morning, for example, take your supplements with dinner to take one less task off your breakfast routine. But if you are a morning person, taking supplements with breakfast, including dietary fat and a glass of water, can start your day off right.

Multivitamins: The Cornerstone of Wellness Support

Shop Multivitamin Supplements

A multivitamin is the foundation of most good supplement routines, that's why it's the first step on The Daily 4™. Multivitamins are a cornerstone of whole-body health and wellness support by providing a wide range of essential nutrients. Our diets don't always include every essential nutrient in adequate amounts; try as we might, demanding schedules, lack of access, and expenses can occasionally disrupt a nutritious diet. Picking a multivitamin can help you discover your daily essentials, stepping in to bridge possible nutrient gaps.

Choosing a multivitamin is easy; Nature Made® specifically formulates our multivitamins to meet the needs of gender, age, and life stage. For example, our Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Her are specially formulated for women to get the nutritional support they need in three daily gummies. We also have Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Him to suit the needs of men. If you're over 50, check out Men's Multivitamin 50+ Tablets or Women's Multivitamin 50+ Tablets to get 22 key nutrients for daily nutritional support.

Nature Made® Advanced Multivitamin Gummies for Adults provide a tasty way to get a daily portion of essential nutrients, specially formulated to provide Vitamin C, all eight B Vitamins, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K, along with essential minerals Calcium, Iodine, Zinc and more, these multis support bone and muscle health, along with heart, brain and immune function.

Magnesium: Your Muscle Relaxation Companion

Shop Magnesium Supplements

Magnesium is an essential mineral that our body uses for muscle relaxation.

While some Magnesium is present in most multivitamins, Magnesium is a major mineral, so supplementing with additional Magnesium can help reach your daily needs. For example, Nature Made® High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Capsules provide 200 mg of Magnesium, supporting essential muscle, nerve, and heart function.

Magnesium is essential in over 300 enzymatic reactions; this multipurpose mineral forms another quadrant in The Daily 4™.

Consistently taking a Magnesium supplement may be a great addition to your wellness routine, helping to support muscle relaxation and relax the body.

Nature Made® also offers Magnesium Complex Capsules with D3 and Zinc, which blend Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Glycinate, and Magnesium Malate into one tablet, along with Vitamin D3 to aid Magnesium Absorption.

Omega-3s: Support Heart Health

Shop Omega-3 Supplements

Here's the third quadrant in The Daily 4™, Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Fish Oil. These long-chain fatty acids EPA and DHA are heart-healthy, and Nature Made® Extra Strength Omega-3†† From Fish Oil Mini Softgels can help supplement your diet with 1000 mg of these Omega-3s.

EPA and DHA support our brain and eye health by keeping our cell membranes fluid. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Where do these acids come from? They're produced by phytoplankton in the sea, and when they are eaten, the fatty acids concentrate in the oils of fatty fish like salmon.

If you want an alternative that's a step or two down the food chain, Nature Made® also offers Superior Absorption** Krill Oil Softgels with no fishy odor or aftertaste.

Taking Omega-3 supplementation with a meal containing dietary fat (like oil, cheese, or butter) can help improve your body's absorption.[1]

Probiotics: Support Digestive Balance

Shop Probiotic Supplements

Have you ever had a "gut feeling" about something? Well, your "gut" might be "feeling" supported if you give your microbiome with beneficial probiotic bacteria.

Probiotics are produced in fermented foods like kimchi and yogurt, and when consumed, they support gut balance by adding good bacteria to your digestive tract.

You can give your digestive system a daily dose of healthy bacteria by supplementing with Nature Made® Digestive Probiotics Extra Strength‡ Gummies, which support healthy digestion by bolstering the pre-existing good bacteria in your gut with 8 billion (with a B) CFUs♦ of Bacillus coagulans IS-2.

Digestion is not only essential for properly absorbing nutrients, but it's also part of our overall well-being. We've all had our day dampened by an unbalanced stomach.

Eating fermented foods like yogurt, which contain probiotic bacteria, and high-fiber foods like oatmeal and legumes (beans) are great additions to a gut-healthy diet.

Supporting your digestion is the reason Nature Made® Probiotics are a part of The Daily 4™.

Wellness encompasses everything, not just the food you eat or the supplements you take, but lifestyle changes and how you treat your body and mind in all that you do.

Creating a personalized wellness plan should start by finding the target areas you want to focus on and finding routine things you can do to help them.

Everyone's steps toward health and wellness are unique, whether that's exercise, meditation, or ensuring you get fish in your diet.

You will probably have to try a few routines before you find the one that works best for you; that's okay, in fact, that's good!

Every time you try something, you know more about what you need and are better informed for the future.

Sustainability is important; setting goals that are too high can discourage you from even trying. Setting realistic achievable goals helps foster consistency and self-confidence.

If you’re looking for guidance in starting a daily wellness routine, discuss the topic with a primary care provider or medical professional; they are best suited to give you personalized advice.

Bottom Line

Exploring a new wellness routine can expose you to new ways to take care of your well-being, whether they are changes in your needs, the latest developments, or just finding the correct way to take care of yourself. Trying new things is the only way to see what works best for you.

Make your wellness a priority with Nature Made®'s The Daily 4™, an easy foundation for your personalized supplement routine. “Subscribe & Save” makes it even easier to buy daily wellness essentials, providing a discount and regular delivery.
