Changing nutrient requirements from 50 plus
As we get older, our body needs fewer and fewer calories, but the need for vitamins, minerals and trace elements does NOT decrease in the same way. For some vitamins and minerals, a higher daily intake is even recommended for people aged 50 and over. MULTI 50+ takes this changed requirement into account so that you can create a good basis for the daily supply of the necessary vital substances.
This is because up to two thirds of all women and men in Germany over the age of 50 suffer from some form of malnutrition, of which vitamin deficiency is the most common phenomenon. Vitamin B deficiency is particularly common in old age.
What does science say about people's vitamin requirements as they get older?
Various studies have shown that an undersupply of vitamins, minerals and trace elements is not a harmless phenomenon, but that a vitamin B12 deficiency in particular can have serious consequences. Among other things, it is suspected that the course of dementia can be negatively influenced by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Many other physical impairments can also be explained by an inadequate intake of the various vitamins.
But good to know: Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies don't have to be. In addition to a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, taking special multivitamin supplements can also be a useful support for the body in old age.
Vitamins from 50: MULTI 50+ provides you with the best care
The MULTI 50+ multivitamin capsules contain many, many vitamins, minerals and trace elements from A-Z that provide your body with exactly what it needs in old age. Vitamin D, for example, together with magnesium and phosphorus, contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. This is important because bone density decreases with age. Bones become more porous, which significantly increases the risk of fractures. Women in particular often suffer from decreasing bone strength during the menopause and should take care to maintain their bone substance.
The multivitamin supplement has many other benefits due to its ingredients. The well-known vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, vitamin B1 supports heart function. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels, while the trace element chromium promotes normal blood sugar levels.
For many people over the age of 50, it is important to remain mentally fit and active. Vitactiv's vitamin and mineral complex also offers the right nutrients and vital substances for this. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, contributes to normal mental performance. Vitamin C and vitamin B12 support normal mental function and also reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin C in particular is a real super vitamin, as it strengthens the immune system and contributes to normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function, normal cartilage function and normal skin function.
As you can see, with the MULTI 50+ multivitamin capsules from Vitactiv you are well equipped for the second half of life.
Why is a vitamin deficiency more likely after 50?
A vitamin deficiency can develop in different ways. For seniors over 70, chewing and swallowing difficulties are often a reason for an unbalanced diet. However, indigestion, loss of appetite and diseases of the stomach or intestines can also lead to an inadequate supply of vitamins and this can also affect people under the age of 70.
In addition, older people have an increased need for vitamins after operations or illnesses, for example, but cannot compensate for this through their daily diet alone. What's more, taking medication is often the cause of deficiency symptoms, as laxatives and many other medicines can impair the absorption of vitamins.
How does a vitamin deficiency affect the body?
There is a wide range of deficiency symptoms caused by an insufficient supply of nutrients. Loss of appetite, fatigue, tiredness, lack of concentration and dizziness can be the first signs.
In the long term, vitamin deficiency can lead to a number of health problems such as osteoporosis, muscle weakness and depression. In the early stages, such a deficiency often remains undetected, as the effects are too unspecific and are often not given enough attention. Therefore, any small changes in appearance such as pale skin, hair loss or dry skin should be taken seriously.
It is best not to let deficiency symptoms affect your quality of life in the first place. We have already told you what you can do about a vitamin deficiency - apart from eating a healthy diet.

Iron deficiency - from tiredness and hair loss to susceptibility to infections
Iron deficiency has many faces: exhaustion, concentration problems or sensitivity to cold are just some of them. A low iron value ("ferritin value") is usually found in expectant and breastfeeding mothers as well as in senior citizens. Vegetarians and vegans are also at risk due to their diet.
Not to be forgotten: Women who lose a lot of blood and therefore a lot of iron during their period. The consequences can be iron deficiency and even anemia.
If you have an undetected deficiency of this vital trace element, you often look for the cause of the symptoms somewhere else: you may suspect that you are drinking too little water, have too much stress at work, are not getting enough sleep, etc. - but it may not be due to this at all, but to "too little iron". The best way to determine a possible iron deficiency is to have a blood test.
If you have an iron deficiency, the iron in the BeLive® gummy bears can correct it naturally - which is essential for your well-being. Because
Iron supports the formation of red blood cells and the haemoglobin they contain, which is responsible for the red color of our blood,Iron contributes to a healthy energy metabolism and oxygen transport in the body,
Iron helps to combat tiredness and fatigue - and contributes to a healthy immune system*.
You can see how important the vitamin gummy bears with iron from BeLive® can be for you and your health.Vegan iron is not only the first choice for vegans
<All ingredients in the high-dose EISEN gummy bears are 100% vegan. Anyone who consumes the trace element iron in their daily diet usually cannot avoid products made from animals. The animal foods with the highest iron content are black pudding (30 mg per 100 g) and pork liver (18 mg/100 g).
Dried soybeans (10 mg/100 g) and lentils (8 mg/100 g) lead the plant-based "iron ranking". Just two EISEN gummy bears from BeLive® contain a full 10 mg of vegan iron plus 76 mg of vitamin C (95% of the daily intake recommended by the German Nutrition Society)
Vitamin C increases iron absorption
Why is vitamin C so important for the iron balance? Vitamin C ensures a particularly high bioavailability of iron - i.e. it increases the absorption of iron in the body.
In other words, don't buy iron-only supplements! Without vitamin C, the intake of iron is only worth a fraction for your body ... and is also an unnecessary burden on your wallet. With EISEN gummy bears - vegan and highly dosed - you are on the safe side when it comes to health benefits thanks to vitamin C.

Questo oligoelemento è responsabile del trasporto dell'ossigeno nel sangue, di un sistema immunitario sano e dell'approvvigionamento energetico delle cellule dell'organismo. Il ferro è necessario anche per la formazione dei globuli rossi. La carne magra, in particolare, è una fonte di ferro, così come i broccoli, il cavolo o gli spinaci, il pane integrale e il muesli, nonché le noci e la soia.
L'ideale sarebbe combinare questi alimenti con quelli contenenti vitamina C, come arance o succo d'arancia, broccoli e peperoni rossi, per facilitare l'assorbimento del ferro.1Fonte: 1Apotheken Umschau, 30.06.2017
Mentre gli uomini dai 19 anni in su e le donne in menopausa hanno bisogno solo di 10 milligrammi di ferro al giorno, le donne hanno spesso un fabbisogno di ferro più elevato a causa delle mestruazioni e dovrebbero assumerne circa 15 milligrammi al giorno. Durante la gravidanza, soprattutto nella seconda metà, questo fabbisogno raddoppia addirittura a circa 30 milligrammi al giorno. Per le madri che allattano al seno si raccomanda un apporto giornaliero di circa 20 milligrammi di ferro.2 Le donne incinte hanno un fabbisogno di ferro maggiore perché non solo la madre ma anche il bambino ha bisogno di rifornirsi dell'oligoelemento, così come l'utero e la placenta ingrossati. Se un esame medico rivela un livello di ferro inferiore a 11 grammi per decilitro di sangue nelle donne in gravidanza, il ferro deve essere integrato con un supplemento dietetico.3,4 Fonti: 2Società tedescadi nutrizione 3Netdoctor, 04.10.2019 4Ginecologiin rete
La carenza di ferro spesso passa inosservata per molto tempo e l'organismo attinge alle sue riserve di ferro. Una volta esaurite, l'organismo reagisce con stanchezza, spossatezza, svogliatezza e pallore. Le persone colpite sono più suscettibili alle infezioni. Altri sintomi includono malattie della pelle, perdita di capelli, unghie fragili, angoli della bocca lacerati e scarsa concentrazione. Se si teme una carenza di ferro, è bene sottoporsi a un esame del sangue per verificarne i livelli. Se i sospetti sono confermati, il medico indicherà la dose di ferro supplementare da assumere per reintegrare le scorte. Non assumete ferro per sospetto: Un'assunzione eccessiva di ferro può provocare dolori addominali, costipazione, nausea o feci nere.
È preferibile assumere le compresse di ferro a stomaco vuoto e un'ora prima della colazione. In altri momenti della giornata, dovrebbero essere assunte due ore dopo l'ultimo pasto e un'ora prima del successivo. Questo perché alimenti come latte, caffè, spinaci o soia possono compromettere l'assorbimento delle compresse di ferro. La vitamina C ha un effetto positivo sull'assorbimento dell'oligoelemento. Si consiglia quindi di assumere gli integratori di ferro con il succo d'arancia, ad esempio. La vitamina C è già inclusa nei nostri integratori EISEN & VITAMINA C. Dopo 8-10 giorni di terapia con il ferro si possono notare i primi cambiamenti nell'emocromo, e la terapia dovrebbe essere portata avanti per un totale di 3-6 mesi.
