The 10 best supplements for seniors (slideshow)
5. Magnesium
Magnesium is another important mineral that becomes more difficult for the body to process with age. Magnesium is found in a wide range of unprocessed foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but it’s very difficult for older adults to absorb the magnesium effectively. Some medications can also inhibit magnesium absorption, and because many older people take several medications, this can also have a negative effect on the body’s ability to process it. Magnesium plays an important part in a huge range of bodily functions and systems, ranging from the immune system to the cardiovascular system to the musculoskeletal framework. Many multivitamins contain magnesium, so be sure to include this in your supplements.
