Vitamin C
Vitamin C is important for both women and men. It supports the immune system, acts as a powerful antioxidant, and protects the body.
Vitamin C strengthens blood vessels, improves gum health, produces collagen, and protects joints. Additionally, it reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by maintaining normal cholesterol levels in the blood.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. It helps fight premature aging and the onset of "age-related" diseases. Vitamin E is particularly important for men's health as it reduces the risk of blood clots and improves reproductive health.
For women, it is beneficial as it can improve the condition of the skin and hair, as well as support the normal functioning of the reproductive system. Vitamin E protects the body from aging.
Vitamins B
Women and men need to maintain their health after the age of 40. The nervous system, brain, and immune system require special attention. Vitamin B12 can help with this.
However, other B vitamins are also important for health. They help the stomach work better, reduce anxiety, and protect against stress. Additionally, such vitamins can reduce the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin D
For men and women over 40, it's important to take care of bone health, teeth, and the immune system. Vitamins of the D group can help with this. They not only have a positive effect on the reproductive system but also help "suppress" chronic diseases and even some forms of cancer.
"The sunshine vitamin" saves the skin from aging and bones from osteoporosis. Moreover, it has a positive effect on mood and emotional state. Vitamin D can improve mental health and provide the body with the necessary amount of calcium and phosphorus.
Magnesium
People over 40 need to make sure they sleep enough and have plenty of energy. Magnesium can help with this, as it protects against stress and allows the body to rest at night.
For women, it's important to take magnesium to protect against migraines, premature menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, and other reproductive system disorders. And for men, it's beneficial because it improves the quality of life and promotes a good mood.
