Dietary Supplements; Are They Right For You?

Supplements For Fifty Years And Older

As stated previously, patients over the age of fifty may need to use dietary supplements to get enough vitamins and minerals. Most people can get enough vitamin D by spending fifteen to thirty minutes in the sun twice a week. However, older people may not be as receptive to this and may need to use vitamin D-fortified milk products or cereals, or fatty fish to obtain enough vitamin D. Some other common supplements for those over the age of fifty include calcium, vitamin B6, and B12.
