A NEW study shows a daily multivitamin may slow biological ageing, which reflects how old a body is in terms of health and function.
Those taking one supplement a day for two years had four months’ less DNA damage than average for their age. There are no guarantees, but if you want to try to wind back the biological clock, here are some I recommend . . .
Green powder
VITAMINS, liquid and green veg are good for you – and that’s what you get once you put a scoop of AG1 into some water.
This powder combines 75 ingredients that are great for gut health, immunity, longevity, and performance.
They range from apple powder, wheat-grass and broccoli to artichoke leaf, ginger, ashwagandha, and inulin.
It is free from gluten, dairy, lactose and added sugar. It doesn’t taste like a sweet smoothie and you need to keep stirring so you don’t leave bits in the bottom. But great start to the day.
Multi-vits for women
DR VEGAN Women’s ProMulti is an award-winning multivitamin containing 28 nutrients for gut health, hormonal support, concentration, mood and stronger hair, skin and nails.
I’ve been taking it for a while, and I like it because it has no bulking agents but has a very high amount of vitamin B.
This vitamin helps with tiredness, immunity and stress mangement – deficiencies can cause low mood.
It supports the gut through probiotics, including five billion live cultures. Botanicals are in there too – for hormone health – including ashwagandha and ginkgo biloba plus cranberry.
A great easy to pop capsule for women without any nasties. You need two a day.
