Hello,
For a woman over 60 on a vegan diet, supplementation is an excellent way to support bone health and energy levels. It is important to choose 'Certified Vegan' products to ensure they do not contain animal-derived gelatin or non-vegan Vitamin D3.
Here are my recommendations:
1. Vegan Multivitamin (For Women 50+)
What to look for: A formula containing at least 2.4 mcg of Vitamin B12 and Iron.
Recommended Brands (Vegan): Garden of Life (Mykind Organics Women 40+) or Ritual Essential for Women 50+.
Dosage: Usually 1 tablet daily with a meal.
2. Vegan Calcium & Vitamin D3
Requirement: At this age, a total of 1200 mg of Calcium daily is recommended (including diet).
Recommended Source: Algae-based calcium is highly absorbable and naturally vegan (e.g., New Chapter Bone Strength or Garden of Life Raw Calcium).
Vitamin D3: Ensure the D3 is sourced from Lichen (not Lanolin). Aim for 1000–2000 IU daily.
Dosage: Take in divided doses (e.g., 500 mg in the morning and 500 mg at night) for better absorption.
3. Important Tips:
Avoid Calcium with Tea/Coffee: Do not take your calcium tablet with caffeine, as it can block absorption.
Check B12 Levels: Even with a multivitamin, I recommend a blood test for Vitamin B12 once a year, as absorption efficiency decreases after age 60.
Please consult with your local pharmacist to find these specific vegan-certified brands available in your area.
Next Steps
