Supplements After 40: What Does the Science Actually Say?

Do you really need supplements after 40? In this video, we take a science-focused look at supplements and nutrition for adults over 40—including what the evidence supports, where supplements may be useful, and why more isn't always better. Nutritional needs can vary based on age, diet, activity level, medications, health conditions, and individual deficiencies. We explore commonly discussed nutrients and supplements, including vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, omega-3s, protein, creatine, and others. You'll also learn why supplements shouldn't automatically replace a balanced diet, why individual needs matter, and why some popular anti-aging claims deserve a closer look. The goal isn't to tell you which pills or supplements to take. It's to help you better understand the evidence so you can have more informed conversations with your healthcare professional. ▶️ Watch until the end for important considerations to know before adding supplements to your routine. 🔔 Subscribe to Healthspan Unlocked 40 for practical videos about nutrition, fitness, healthy aging, longevity, sleep, weight management, supplements, metabolic health, and overall wellness.
