Top 5 Supplements for Healthy Aging: Expert Recommendations
According to a longevity expert, here are the top 5 supplements for promoting healthy aging.
If you’ve ever walked down the supplement aisle in a pharmacy, you’ve seen the overwhelming abundance of options available for your medicine cabinet. According to the 2022 Council on Responsible Nutrition Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements, 75% of Americans use dietary supplements, most on a regular basis.
It’s important to remember that supplements are just that: supplemental. While they’re good for giving you a bit of a leg up when you’re lacking certain nutrients, the number one way to get the vitamins and minerals and antioxidants you need is through a healthy, nutritious diet.
“Supplements will never give you what actual, real food will,” says Kara Burnstine, RD, a nutrition educator at Pritikin Longevity Center. “They simply aid you along. They’re not meant to be a food replacement.”
Still, Burnstine recognizes there can be setbacks of relying solely on food for optimal nutrition, and there are times when supplements can be a boon.
“It would be wonderful if we all ate all our fruits and vegetables and our whole grains and our lean proteins and got everything that we needed from the food supply, but unfortunately, our food supply is sometimes not the highest quality either,” she says. “So we could be doing a lot of the good things and not be getting all of the nutrients from the food.”
That deficit can become even more pronounced as you age, she says.
“We are machines, so as we get older, things that worked well start to not work as well. That’s when we might need to turn more to supplements.”
Not all supplements are for everyone. You should always consult your doctor before starting any supplement to be sure they won’t interact with medications you’re taking or put you at risk of other problems. But for most people approac
