Nutrition & vitality after 60: 5 useful supplements

Article written and validated by a retired pharmacist, graduate of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Paris.

Practical advice: supplements do not replace a balanced diet, but they can support energy, digestion and immunity after 60.

With age, appetite may decrease, digestion becomes slower and fatigue appears more easily. Some nutrients are also less well absorbed (vitamin D, B12, folates…). A well‑chosen supplement routine can help maintain vitality, digestive comfort and natural defenses.

Goal: support daily energy, gut microbiota and immunity without unnecessary over-supplementation.
