Vitamins and minerals are essential to our overall well-being. They provide our body with what it needs to function efficiently and maintain health. As you’re well aware, supplements provide a critical way for people to replenish their bodies with what could be lacking. In fact, some people suffer from deficiencies that are impossible to control without some kind of supplement. We hope to explain some of the most common deficiencies and how to supplement them in this article. We hope they serve as helpful tips for your own business. If you’re a provider, the following are also essential to stock your shelves with.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a wonderful antioxidant that is thought to protect the heart and prevent damage from free radicals. It is a powerful vitamin that may also help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Despite the importance of this vitamin, around 80% of Americans do not receive the necessary amount of vitamin E. It can be found in some foods including sunflower seeds, almonds, and avocado. However, this is a supplement that should be considered by more people.

Iron

Low iron means abnormally low red blood cells. This will eventually lead to a condition called anemia. There are different versions of this condition, but iron-deficient anemia is the most common. Symptoms of an iron deficiency will vary depending on the severity, but often include poor concentration, low energy, and headaches. Adding things like green vegetables, lentils, various nuts and seeds, and dried fruit will help increase your iron intake. If food isn’t enough, an iron supplement is a good idea.

Magnesium

Magnesium is more commonly associated with chemistry class than with our bodies. However, almost 75% of Americans do not meet their recommended intake for this mineral! Magnesium is over 600 cellular reactions! We need magnesium for healthy brain function, heartbeat, and muscle contractions.
