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: you're well supplied with MULTI 50+
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 ideally 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.

Always stay active
Bones, joints, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments - they all play their part in our musculoskeletal system. But only a functioning interplay ensures that we can move without pain. We can contribute a lot to this ourselves through regular, joint-friendly sport. But we also need little helpers ...
Sulphur - an often underestimated mineral
When talking about a mineral deficiency, most people think of calcium or magnesium, but not sulphur. Yet sulphur is a true all-rounder. Bones, cartilage, muscles and tendons - to name just a few - are made up of sulphur-containing amino acids. This important mineral is also involved in the formation of the body's own protein. If the protein were not formed sufficiently, our bones would be brittle and our muscles severely weakened. Sulphur, along with other minerals, vitamins and trace elements, therefore plays a central role in the health of bones, cartilage and joints. If you permanently consume too little sulphur in your diet, you could complain of joint problems over time.
What does MSM mean?
MSM stands for methylsulfonylmethane and is the technical term for organic sulfur. More precisely, it is a sulphur compound, as the sulphur is bound to carbon and oxygen. Inorganic sulphur, on the other hand, contains no carbon and therefore cannot combine with other substances. In our diet, MSM is mainly found in protein-rich foods. These include fish, meat, dairy products and, of course, eggs. However, organic sulphur is sensitive to heat, which means that cooked foods contain significantly less MSM. MSM 1000 mg is therefore also a good alternative for all vegetarians and especially vegans.
The ideal supplement: vitamin C
Probably the most famous of all vitamins, vitamin C plays a key role in MSM 1000:
Vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen and thus supports the formation and maintenance of joint cartilage.* Every joint is surrounded by a layer of cartilage and this is essential for a pain-free functioning joint. The elastic collagen fibers form the framework of the cartilage - the prerequisite for good elasticity and high compressive strength.
Vitamin C contributes to cell protection*. Not only the skin, but also bones are made up of individual cells. These bone cells are supplied with oxygen, vitamins and minerals. This is the only way they can constantly regenerate and grow healthily.
Only natural vitamin C from the acerola cherry
We use acerola extract for our product MSM 1000 mg with vitamin C. In contrast to artificially produced vitamin C, natural vitamin C is much better absorbed by the body. The acerola cherry has rightly made a name for itself as a "superfood", as it contains more vitamin C than almost any other fruit. The juice extracted from the cherries is then gently dried, whereby the important vitamin C and other plant substances remain active. This ensures high bioavailability for optimum absorption in the body.
MSM 1000 mg for your health
If you value the health of your bones, cartilage and joints, then make MSM 1000 mg your daily companion. The human skeleton has over 200 bones, which are connected to each other by around 100 joints. There are also more than 650 individual muscles. That's a lot to look after every day and it's essential to protect them.*Information about the effects of the ingredients can be found under product details
