While you\u2019ve probably been taking the same multivitamins for years, it might not be giving you the nutrients your body needs. Turns out, your\u00a0age plays a significant factor in determining which vitamins you should be taking.<\/p>\n

So how do you know which vitamins to take when you’re 20 versus when you’re 40? Dr. Christopher Calapai D.O.<\/a>, a board-certified osteopathic physician in family and anti-aging medicine, breaks everything you need to know below.<\/p>\n

20s<\/strong>
\nYour 20s are an extremely active decade, which is why Dr. Calapai recommends vitamins B and C. “Vitamin B will keep you energized throughout the day and prevent you from crashing,” says Calapai.\u00a0“Vitamin C is another important vitamin that will boost your immune system and slow down the skin\u2019s aging process.”<\/p>\n

30s<\/strong>
\n“Your 30s require a lot of vitamin D, which helps strengthen your bones and keep your\u00a0teeth\u00a0healthy,” says Calapai. “Vitamin D deficiencies can cause health issues such as bone abnormalities and increased bone tenderness, which can lead to osteomalacia.”<\/p>\n

40s<\/strong>
\nAccording to Calapai, calcium and potassium should be your go-to supplements\u00a0once you reach your 40s. You should also be taking daily multivitamins because it helps with memory loss and it lowers your chances\u00a0of cancer.<\/p>\n

50s<\/strong>
\n“Omega-3 is a key vitamin in your 50s since it lowers blood pressure and prevents heart disease,” says Calapai. “There are three types of omega-3s, one being DHA, which improves eye health. These fatty acids can also fight off inflammation in the body.”<\/p>\n

60s
\n<\/strong>Vitamin B12 is known for keeping nerve and blood cells at its healthiest while maintaining healthy muscle functions and preventing amnesia, making vitamin B12 a must<\/em>!<\/p>\n
