Any vitamin/supplement suggestions please?
Watch this postHi all, I'm looking for suggestions for vitamins/supplements to take to help my overall health. I'm 65, live in the UK, and try to exercise about 5 times a week (even if it's just a walk down to my local village shops!). I go to the gym about twice a week too. No major health concerns, just the usual aches and pains associated with ageing.
Does anyone have any specific recommendations of what has worked well for them? It's something I've never explored before and thought why not! Thanks

Many thanks for your response of 25 Jun concerning the Vitamin tablets, I have taken notes and will research them as and when, but thank you for taking the time to let me know. Graham
All the best,

Calcium and vitamin K2: Calcium is essential for bone health, and vitamin K2 helps ensure calcium is properly utilized in the body. These two nutrients work synergistically, so it's often recommended to take them together.
Many foods are also rich in vitamins and can be properly supplemented at ordinary times. See:(https://bpdoctormed.com/blogs/healthy-eating-stratgies/which-foods-are-rich-in-vitamins)
I have been doing that for almost 7 years now and regular blood tests are showing my vitamin D evels are what they should be. The non branded bottle I buy is £1.10p and lasts just over a month - much cheaper than any branded vitamin D tablet and, of course, all the other benefits cod liver oil provides!
The only one thing I take, is Jamieson B12. I was having trouble with my memory and sometimes forgetting what I was trying to say, but these little guys sure did help. Stay active, good luck and God bless. Graham
