The self-care movement is still in full force, but many of us still don’t practice it enough. Self-care does not always mean an elaborate spa day - it’s the small daily habits that may benefit your health, like taking a multivitamin. Yes, taking your vitamins counts as self-care!

Feeding yourself good nutrition is one of the most effective and accessible forms of self-care. So if self-care often feels out of reach for you, you can start by simply eating nourishing food and adding multivitamins to your daily routine.

Let’s explore the importance of self-care, how nutrition and vitamins play a role in it, and how to create a self-care routine that works for you.

What Is Self-Care?

Self-care is the practice of taking action to improve your physical, mental, and emotional health. It involves engaging in various activities with the goal of reducing stress, enhancing well-being, and improving your quality of life.

Self-care comes in many forms, but the ultimate purpose of self-care is to do something regularly that makes you feel centered and energized in all areas of your life. When it comes to practicing self-care, doing it regularly will yield the biggest benefits.

Here are a few examples of self-care:

• Maintaining proper nutrition
• Getting in your rest
• Getting fresh air regularly
• Moving your body
• Having a skincare routine
• Practicing yoga, meditation, or quietly reading a book

There are so many forms of self-care, and it’s important to do what is most enjoyable for you.

But in order to practice daily self-care, it’s essential that your self-care practices can easily fit into your everyday routine. This can make it easier for it to become an automatic habit that keeps you feeling your best physically and mentally.

Why Does Self-Care Matter?

While we can’t avoid all stress in life, we can adapt to it and learn to better manage it. Having a self-care plan and practicing it regularly can help lower your stress and support emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.

If you ever feel overwhelmed or mentally or physically drained, chances are your self-care has fallen to the wayside.

Self-care allows you to recharge, nourish your body and mind, and take a break to recenter yourself. This results in resilience to stress, and helps support your energy level and overall health.[1]^†

As a starting point for self-care, we recommend speaking to your healthcare provider about vitamin recommendations and creating a solid morning routine including a healthy breakfast and quality multivitamins.

How Multivitamins Serve As Self-Care

Nutrition may not be one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of self-care. But it is one of the best forms of self-care there is - and starting a new multivitamin is one of the easiest steps to start your journey.

While working out daily and meditating may be the most popular forms of self-care, they aren’t the whole picture. Though they are good steps, in order to benefit the most from them it’s important to ensure your daily nutrition is not lacking key nutrients. It can be difficult to eat a balanced diet every day; if you don’t, you might find yourself more tired, stressed or in a negative mood.[2] Incorporating a daily multivitamin into your morning routine can help you fill in nutritional gaps in your diet and provide peace of mind that you’re helping to support your body inside and out.

The good news is there are three new Nature Made® multis that do just this - with added ingredients like Ginseng, Elderberry, and Ashwagandha to further support your self-care routine.

Start Your Self-Care Routine with New Nature Made® Multivitamins

Taking your vitamins can be a way of taking care of yourself. Nature Made® Supplements can become a part of your self-care routine, and are easily incorporated into your daily habits.

There are three new products on the Nature Made® Multivitamin line which include additional health-supporting ingredients to enhance your self-care.

Multi+Ginseng

If you’re looking for a multivitamin to support energy levels, Nature Made® Multi+Ginseng helps you get more out of your multivitamin.†

In addition to 21 essential vitamins and minerals, you’ll get 200 mg of Ginseng for daily energy support. Ginseng's benefits are widespread, and it has been traditionally used in herbal medicine to increase energy and resistence to stress.^†

Multi+Elderberry

Elderberry has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for immune support. Each  contains 117 mg of Elderberry fruit extract plus other immune support nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc for a well-rounded daily multivitamin supplement.†

One of the biggest Elderberry benefits is its richness in antioxidants called anthocyanins. These compounds have been seen to protect against free radicals in the body, supporting overall health.[3]

If you’re not keen on swallowing pills, our Elderberry Gummies with Vitamin C and Zinc are a tasty way to get immune health support.†
