Who Are Vitamins & Minerals For?
Vitamin and mineral supplements can be used by adults who want to incorporate specific nutrients into their daily routine.
Some people choose a multivitamin as a convenient general supplement, while others prefer individual products containing a particular nutrient. Your dietary intake, lifestyle and personal nutritional requirements can all influence which type of supplement is appropriate for you.
Supplements should complement a varied and balanced diet rather than replace nutritious foods.
If you have a specific nutritional concern or take medication, speak to a qualified healthcare professional before starting a new supplement.
How to Take Vitamins & Minerals
The recommended serving and timing varies between products, so always follow the instructions provided on the individual packaging.
With meals: Many vitamin and mineral supplements can conveniently be taken alongside food. Check the product instructions for specific guidance.
Daily supplements: If a product is intended for daily use, taking it at a consistent time can make it easier to incorporate into your routine.
Liquid supplements: Drops and liquid products should be measured and used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Gummies: Gummy supplements should be taken according to the stated serving size. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
Choosing the Right Vitamin & Mineral Supplement
Consider What You Need
Different supplements provide different nutrients. If you are looking for broad nutritional coverage, a multivitamin may be more suitable, while a targeted supplement may be preferable when you specifically want to include a particular nutrient.
Check the Nutritional Information
Always check the ingredients, nutrient amounts and recommended serving size before choosing a supplement. This also helps you avoid unnecessarily doubling up on the same nutrients across multiple products.
Choose a Convenient Format
Capsules, gummies, liquid drops and other formats provide different ways to incorporate supplements into your routine. Choose the format that you find easiest to use consistently.
Follow the Recommended Serving
More is not necessarily better when it comes to vitamins and minerals. Always follow the recommended serving provided on the product label and do not exceed the stated amount.
Vitamins, Minerals & Your Daily Routine
Vitamins and minerals form part of a wider approach to nutrition and wellbeing. A varied diet containing fruit, vegetables, whole grains, protein sources and other nutritious foods should remain the foundation of your everyday nutrition.
Supplements can then provide a convenient way to add specific nutrients where they fit your individual requirements and preferences.
If you already use several supplements, check the ingredients and nutritional information of each product to avoid unnecessarily duplicating nutrients.
