Are you over 50? As you get older, your nutritional needs change. That's why we've updated our reliable Vitagen multivitamin by Vitality Nutritionals to better meet the needs of those aged 50 and above. Our improved formula is based on the latest scientific research to provide essential nutrients more effectively. 

Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in all bodily functions. Ensuring an optimal intake of these essential nutrients is vital for maintaining your health, energy, and overall well-being as you age. 

The functions of vitamins and minerals in the human body were scientifically examined and confirmed by The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). [1] 

As people get older, their activity levels often decrease, leading to a slower metabolism and reduced caloric needs. This typically results in eating less, which in turn can mean fewer essential vitamins and minerals are consumed. Studies indicate that as we age, our intake of macronutrients—measured in terms of calories—goes down, suggesting a parallel reduction in micronutrient absorption. 

Moreover, research indicates that our ability to absorb and utilize essential nutrients may decline with age. [[D950]]  As a result, nutrient requirements could actually increase, particularly in relation to body mass. 

Compounding the issue, older individuals often face additional nutritional challenges due to factors like chronic illnesses or medications. This makes it even more difficult to get the necessary vitamins and minerals through diet alone. 

One study on malnutrition in older adults reveals that "approximately one-fourth of European adults over the age of 65 are at high risk of malnutrition." Further data from various nutritional surveys show that a significant portion of older adults suffer from nutrient deficiencies. [3] 

Vitagen 50+ Multivitamin Capsules from Vitality Nutritionals are specifically designed to enhance the nutrition of those aged 50 and older. We've fine-tuned the formula and dosage of each ingredient to address age-related nutritional gaps. 

For instance, as we age, the risk of certain health issues like cognitive decline, cardiovascular complications, and weakened immune systems tends to rise. Vitagen 50+ Multivitamin is formulated to help counter these challenges with targeted ingredients.

Vitality Nutritionals Vitagen 50+ Multivitamin is best suited as a basic supply for men and women over 50 years, especially for those who: 

• lead a stressful life 
• cannot eat a balanced diet 
• eat too small portions 
• are frequently on diets 

People with health problems should consult their doctor before using the product. Vitagen 50+ by Vitality Nutritionals is not advised for pregnant or lactating women, children and teens under 18, or those with thyroid issues or conditions that lead to abnormal iron accumulation. 

Do not exceed a daily intake of 800 mg of EGCG. Taking this supplement on an empty stomach is not recommended. Avoid using if you are already consuming other products that contain green tea. 

Vitamin K2 plays an active role in the body, contributing to the prevention of bone loss and vascular calcification. However, as people age, the likelihood of needing blood thinners increases, and vitamin K supplementation may become contraindicated.

To accommodate this demographic, Vitagen 50+ Multivitamin Capsules are formulated without vitamin K. If you're interested in supplementing with vitamin K, we recommend Vitality Nutritionals' vitamin K supplements, available in various dosages through the VitaminExpress Shop.
