Today pharmacies and health food stores offer a wide selection of vitamin complexes. Experts say that special attention should be paid to vitamins B12 and D3, which are extremely necessary for the aging body.

According to Catherine Tucker, director of the Center for Population Health at the University of Massachusetts, even if a person follows a healthy diet, it is quite it is likely that her body will be deficient in B12 and D3. This is due to the fact that with age these vitamins are more difficult to absorb, and plant products are not rich in them, writes the British publication Redonline.

Those who follow a meat diet get enough B12, but there is a problem with its assimilation, because with age the stomach produces less acid. “Typically, people should start paying attention to it after age 50,” says Tucker. Doctors warn that B12 is responsible for nerve function, and its deficiency is associated with low energy, anemia, depression and dementia. The latter, in particular, is directly related to premature death.
