A helpful guide for choosing which vitamins to add to your morning routine based on your wellness goal.

Are you getting enough essential vitamins your body needs to stay healthy? More than likely — you’re not. In fact, nearly one-third (31 percent) of the U.S. population is at risk for at least one vitamin deficiency or anemia.

The best way to get enough of the essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet from a variety of foods. But when you can’t get everything you need from food (or because you aren’t following a balanced diet due to a hectic schedule or lifestyle changes), vitamins are always a great plan B.

And while there are many vitamins on the market with many different benefits, it can be hard to determine which ones you should be taking. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, get an energy boost, or simply a daily energy boost, we’ve outlined a few great vitamins that you should be taking each day, what each vitamin does—and how to achieve the recommended daily intake through a healthy diet.

01
For hair, skin and nails.
For the rest of 2019 (and all of 2020), we’re drinking water, minding our business, and taking care of our hair, skin and nails. One and two are easy, but thanks to Nature’s Bounty® Hair, Skin & Nails, you’ll have some additional help. The yummy gummies provide vital nutrients the body needs to support natural beauty from the inside out (made up of Vitamin E & C for skin health and collagen production/formation, as well as Biotin for healthy hair).

02
For your daily vitamins.
Care/of are personalized daily vitamin pack delivered right to your door, with specific ingredients that should be encompassed in your daily multivitamins. Care/of is the wellness brand that delivers personalized vitamins, supplements, and (most recently) protein + boost powders right to your door — making it a great gift for the holiday season, when everyone could use a little health boost.

03
For an energy boost.
Work/life balance (if there is such a thing) can be hard. Thankfully there are vitamins such as Pure Synergy’s Super B-Complex that provide an extra energy boost in an all natural way. They provide the perfect balance of all eight essential B vitamins plus three important cofactors in a potent, energizing formula. These are made with organic veggies & fruits, then activated with enzymes & probiotics for enhanced bioavailability and support for enhanced energy, stress relief & a healthy nervous system.
