Supplements and vitamins for nutrition support

In a perfect world, you'd obtain all of the essential micronutrients your body needs through food. But with so many nutrients and daily requirements to keep track of, being sure that your diet is up to the challenge can be hard. The right vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements can help to provide your body with the nutrition it requires to function at its best. Learn more about the many natural vitamins and supplements you’ll find at The Vitamin Shoppe, and how they can support your personal health and wellness goals.

Letter vitamins and multivitamins

Vitamins come in a range of options. You can take specific letter vitamins, such as vitamin C or vitamin D, for targeted benefits. For certain vitamin groups, you can take a vitamin complex that includes all the variations of that vitamin, like vitamin B complex. A multivitamin, meanwhile, combines a number of vitamins and may also include minerals and other dietary nutrients. 

Different vitamins are available to fill in multiple nutritional gaps. These are just a few of the areas that vitamins can offer support for:

• Energy levels
• Memory and focus
• Immune system function
• Skin, hair, and nail health

Nutrient supplements

As opposed to the narrower world of vitamins, the term “supplement” covers a lot more ground. Supplements can contain a range of important nutrients:

• Vitamins, whether individual or in combination
• Dietary minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, and others
• Essential fatty acids like omega-3
• Essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan
• Other beneficial supplements like collagen and CoQ-10

How to choose vitamins and supplements based on a health objective

Many natural vitamins and other supplement options are formulated to support specific health goals, and can even be tailored to the unique needs of men and women. For example, since women tend to lose bone density at a quicker rate than men, women's health supplements will often contain higher amounts of calcium. Some men's health supplements, meanwhile, contain ingredients like saw palmetto for prostate health and L-arginine to promote blood flow. You’ll find a huge selection of condition-specific supplements in our assortment.
