The 10 best supplements for seniors (slideshow)

4. Vitamin B12

B12 is an absolutely essential vitamin for a variety of different internal functions, but it’s difficult to get enough of in your diet. As the body ages, it becomes more difficult to process and absorb vitamin B12 naturally from food. Therefore, it’s crucial to take a supplement that provides vitamin B12 support. Vitamin B12 aids the body in producing red blood cells and healthy DNA, as well as aiding nerve function. Many foods contain vitamin B12 as well, most of which are meat and dairy products. Talk to your doctor about whether or not you need a vitamin B12 supplement to stay healthy.
