As we age, our bodies require more targeted nutritional support to maintain energy, cognitive function, bone strength, and immune health. This collection of vitamins for the elderly and adults over 60 is curated to meet the evolving nutritional needs that come with ageing—supporting vitality, independence, and healthy ageing through every decade.
Why Are Vitamins Important for Older Adults?
From the age of 60, the body undergoes changes in nutrient absorption, metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density. These changes can lead to deficiencies even with a balanced diet. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, older adults are at increased risk of being low in key nutrients such as vitamin D, B12, calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
“With age, nutrient needs go up but calorie intake often goes down. That’s why vitamin supplementation becomes more important than ever in later life.”
— Dr. Clare Bailey, GP & health writer
Common deficiencies in the over-60 population include:
-
Vitamin D – due to reduced skin synthesis and lower sun exposure
-
Vitamin B12 – reduced stomach acid affects absorption
-
Calcium & Magnesium – for bone strength and muscle health
-
Folate & B-complex – for cognitive function and cardiovascular support
-
Omega-3 & antioxidants – for heart, eye, and brain health
