What Should Everyone Age 35+ Be Taking?

"Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength." - Betty Friedan

Aging is a natural process that every single one of us will go through. As we age, however, our bodies begin to need a little extra help here and there to maintain optimum health. At the Lime in the Coconut Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in helping both women and men gracefully navigate our bodies' natural aging processes. For those of you over the age of thirty-five, here is a quick look at some of the supplements we recommend you take in order to keep your body healthy and well.


5 Supplements For Everyone Age 35+

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Having proper levels of omega-3 fatty acids is very important for us to maintain healthy metabolisms. Common natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids include walnuts, flaxseed oil, fish oil, and egg oil. Omega-3 fatty acids can also be taken as an oral supplement (we recommend Orthomega).

2. Probiotic
Not all bacteria are harmful - in fact, some bacterial are essential for maintaining proper health. They help with digestion, boost your immune system, and several other things. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi, or they can be taken as a supplement. AT the Lime, we are strong believers in Ortho Biotic's probiotic supplements!

3. Multivitamin or Mineral Supplement
Multivitamins serve as a great way to improve your overall health. For most of us, our diets don't contain all of the vitamins and minerals our bodies need to be healthy, and a multivitamin can help fill in the gaps. If you are looking for an oral supplement, our compounding pharmacist at the Lake of the Ozarks recommends Alpha Base by Ortho Molecular. If you want an alternative to an oral supplement, our wellness IVs at the Lake of the Ozarks could be a great solution.

4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays a lot of different roles in the body, including the reduction of inflammation, the prevention of osteoporosis and arthritis, the regulation of blood pressure, and many other important factors. Shockingly, experts estimate approximately 75% of people in the U.S. are deficient in vitamin D. Our skin absorbs vitamin D from sunlight, but the amount that we absorb naturally isn't enough. Health experts recommend taking 5,000 units of vitamin D per day; we have supplements that can help ensure you reach this goal.

5. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Our hormone levels fluctuate as we age, especially for women. Maintaining proper hormone levels is incredibly important for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We recommend testing your hormone levels and supplementing with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) as necessary. As a specialty compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, we work frequently with BHRT. If you have any questions about it at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!
