From Omega-3 to Zinc: The truth about men’s supplements in their 30s
Many people take supplements, sometimes without even being prescribed by a healthcare professional. As such, do men need to have them in their 30s to stay healthy in their 50s? According to Dr Ramita Kaur, a maternal and child nutritionist, there are seven supplements men should take in their 30s to stay healthy in their later years.Edwina Raj, head of services for clinical nutrition and dietetics at Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore, said there’s no blanket rule that all men need supplements to be healthy. “A focus on healthy eating and exercise should be the priority. The need for supplements should be assessed on an individual basis. A registered dietitian or doctor can determine if supplements are necessary by calculating nutrient deficiencies, analysing symptoms (if any), or performing a biochemical assessment. Generalised advice on supplements without guidance on duration is strongly discouraged by qualified health professionals,” said Edwina.
Men can preserve heart health and prevent early-onset diabetes by consuming foods rich in fibre, minerals like magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. “These can be found in nuts, oilseeds, fish, and traditional fermented foods. Including a variety of fruits and vegetables can also naturally improve gut health,” said Edwina.
Avoiding unhealthy processed foods can help reduce inflammatory markers in the body. According to Edwina, natural sources of nutrients are generally safer than supplements. “For example, excessive calcium intake from supplements can lead to bladder stones and clogged blood vessels. Poor-quality omega-3 supplements may carry the risk of mercury toxicity. High doses of probiotics can cause bloating,” said Edwina.
Seek advice from qualified healthcare professionals who use an evidence-based approach.
