Dr. Oz’s Top 5 Supplements for Women in Their 50’s

By Ben H

Dr. Oz revealed his top 5 women’s health supplements for women in their 50s looking to maintain their health and vitality. There are no real surprises in his list, but it reaffirms that good health supplements can be “a key component of (your) preventive care regimen.” So without further introduction, here are Dr. Oz’s top health supplements for women in their 50s.

1) CoQ10  Keeping up your natural energy levels is important no matter what age you are. Coenzyme Q10 is integrally involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary source of energy at the cellular level. So whether it’s discount CoQ10 or a top-of-the-line ubiquinone coenzyme Q10 supplement, make sure this “fundamentally important nutrient for energy” has a place in your supplement regimen.

2) Chia Seeds Again, no matter what age (or even what gender), maintaining a healthy weight and body image are important aspects to overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, your metabolism starts to slow down as you age. Chia seeds deliver a daily dose of fiber, protein, calcium, essential fatty acids and more, but the key to healthy weight management is chia seeds’ high fiber content. Simply put, fiber helps you feel full.

3) Turmeric A primary fear most people have of getting older is age-related cognitive decline. There are several supplements designed to help maintain your brainpower, and Dr. Oz says we should add turmeric to that list. Many believe the secret to turmeric's benefits is the high concentration of curcuminoids, which possess powerful antioxidant capabilities.

4) Women’s Multivitamin Taking a women’s multivitamin is one of, if not the most important natural health choices women over 50 can make for best natural health maintenance. It helps fill in the gaps in your diet and gives your body healthy servings of natural nutrition. Multivitamins are also some of the most affordable vitamins available. 

5) Calcium with Vitamin D and Magnesium Dr. Oz says that bone health can play a big role in determining your longevity. And just as your metabolism and energy levels begin to naturally slow and decline, bone strength also tends to decrease as you age. That’s why taking a calcium supplement with vitamin D and magnesium is so important for women after age 50.
