The Best Vitamins for Men

A daily multivitamin can help bridge nutritional gaps if you are not receiving the necessary vitamins and minerals through the food you eat. Getting sufficient amounts of vitamins into your diet can maintain a lasting focus and energy throughout the day and keep you feeling your best. Below we have compiled several recommended vitamins for men and tips to help you reach your recommended daily intake.

What vitamins do men need to be taking?

Some of the most important vitamins for men include:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin K
• Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
• Riboflavin
• Pantothenic Acid
• Vitamin B6

Vitamin A

You may also see vitamin A referred to as retinol or retinoic acid. This vitamin helps support healthy vision, growth, immunity, and reproduction. Getting adequate amounts of daily vitamin A can help ensure that your eyesight remains sharp throughout the years and your body can fight illness and infection.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 aids in red blood cell production and neurologic health. People deficient in vitamin B12 may experience adverse symptoms like headaches, indigestion, poor appetite, and weakness. Ensuring that you get sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 can help you feel your best and maintain energy throughout the day.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to protect the body against cell-damaging free radicals. Vitamin C supports immune system functionality and protects the body from infection and disease. Foods naturally rich in vitamin C include berries, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. You can also take vitamin C as a supplement to ensure you get enough.

Vitamin D

A vitamin D deficiency is a common issue that can lead to brittle bones and poor immune function. You can boost vitamin D levels by taking it as a supplement or getting outside and spending time in the sun.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and can support healthy vision, reproduction, and skin. Because vitamin E is an antioxidant, it helps protect the body against free radicals.

Vitamin K

Getting enough vitamin K can ensure that your blood is clotting correctly and your bones stay healthy. Talk with your doctor before supplementing with vitamin K if you are also taking blood thinners to determine if vitamin K supplements are safe for you.

Thiamine

Thiamine (or thiamin) is a form of vitamin B that helps utilize food for energy and supports nervous system health. Thiamine deficiency can cause issues like poor cognitive function and low energy levels.

Riboflavin

Riboflavin is a type of antioxidant and a form of vitamin B. Getting enough riboflavin can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals and ensure proper growth and blood cell production.

Pantothenic acid

Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, is essential for proper red blood cell production. It also supports your adrenal glands in producing critical hormones such as stress and sex hormones.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is vital for proper nervous system function and immune health. Poultry, fish, potatoes, and bananas are excellent sources of vitamin B6. Another benefit of vitamin B6 is that it helps to create hemoglobin, the component of red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body.

What is the best way to increase vitamin levels? 

You can increase vitamin levels in various ways depending on what types of vitamins you need. Some men can quickly increase their vitamin levels by adding certain vitamin-rich foods to their diet; others may have to take supplements.

Your doctor can help advise you on the most effective vitamin supplementation for your needs. Buying dietary supplements from trusted sources and talking with your doctor is essential, especially if you have a medical condition or prescription medications.

Using IV therapy can help to quickly and effectively boost vitamin levels. IV infusions are more effective than oral supplements because they are administered directly into the bloodstream and bypass the digestive tract. Vitamin infusions are the most effective way to quickly increase vitamin levels and help support your overall health and wellness.
