What Supplements You Should Really Be Taking: Your Guide to the Essentials

There are hundreds of vitamins and dietary supplements out there, and it can be overwhelming to navigate which ones you really need.

We’ll start by saying that the best way to support all areas of your health and correct deficiencies is to address your diet, first and foremost. Essential nutrients and vitamins are meant to be sourced from food, and it’s the most natural way for your body to process and retain them.

However, this isn’t always practical or possible. Certain lifestyle conditions, dietary restrictions, or larger vitamin deficiencies may call for supplementation, which is a helpful option if you can’t alter your diet.

As we said earlier, though, there are so many supplement options — sometimes with overlapping benefits. So, where do you start?

Our doctors and supplement experts at PALM have put together a guide of essential supplements to answer this question.

When it comes to your general, day-to-day health, some top areas to focus on include sleep, energy, inflammation, muscular health, immunity, gut health, and heart health. This guide features a staple, trusted supplement option for each of those key areas of your health.

This guide is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or before starting any new supplement regimen. If you are pregnant, you should always consult with your doctor before taking any supplements.
