After all, baked goods only last so long, but good health lasts a lifetime. So this year, we’ve put together a guide for gift ideas for health and wellness.

How to Choose Supplements When Shopping By Age and Interest

Sometimes the hardest people to buy gifts for are those who are outside of your age range. It can sometimes feel like you have little in common with family members much older or younger than you, making it difficult to pick out gifts they’ll enjoy. Luckily, there is plenty of research that tells us which kinds of supplements are best for different age groups, which makes choosing the right supplements as gifts an easy task.

  • Supplements for Adults Over 50 If you’re looking for a gift for someone over 50, consider supplements that include Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Folate.2
  • Supplements for Adults 19-50 All things considered, we need similar amounts of key nutrients between the ages of 19 and 50. One notable exception is that pregnant women or those in their childbearing years need more Iron and Folic Acid than other adults.3

When may it be beneficial to recommend a vitamin or mineral supplement to an elderly person?

Supplement gifts are ones that can contribute to your loved ones’ health and wellness. They can also remind them how special they are to you and that you want what’s best for them. When shopping for people ages 19-50, think about their lives:

  • Do they have small children bringing home various illnesses? Consider getting them a supplement that helps boost their immunity, like Vitamin C and Echinacea.4
  • Are you shopping for someone who needs an extra energy boost due to a demanding work or college schedule? Look for supplements that include green tea, which can help boost energy.5

By taking these things into consideration, you’ll show the recipient how much you care about the little details of their lives, making the gift that much more useful and meaningful.

Does your loved one have a particular health concern that keeps them up at night? Show them you take their concerns around health and wellness seriously by looking for supplement gifts that help address their needs. Here are some common health issues and the ingredients you should look for within supplements that can help address them:

  • Supplements that include glucosamine8, turmeric 9, and collagen 10 are great for people into all types of exercise, as each of these helps to support joint health.pros-t banner

What Supplements are Good for High Blood Pressure?

About 29% of all U.S. adults have high blood pressure.11 Over time, if untreated, high blood pressure can cause health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and even death. Look for supplements containing Hawthorn Berry 12 if you know your loved one struggles with high blood pressure.

What are The Best Weight Management Supplements?

It’s not news that America has an obesity epidemic, and we recommend treading lightly when giving a gift intended to help the recipient manage their weight. However, if they’ve expressed sincere interest in losing weight, look for a supplement that contains Green Tea Extract 13, which aids in burning fat and improves exercise performance.

What is the Best Supplement for Sleep?

According to the CDC, an estimated 50-70 million U.S. adults have some sort of sleeping disorder.14 If you’ve suffered through one sleepless night, you know the effects a lack of sleep can have. When shopping for a loved one who is in need of some shut-eye, look for supplements containing Chamomile 15 or Valerian Root 16, which both help induce sleep.

Three Tips for Supplement Gifts

Once you’ve decided on the right supplements for your loved ones, you’ll need to then consider what quantity might be right for your health and wellness gift. Listed below are a few gift ideas worth considering.

  1. Stocking Stuffers Supplement Gifts
    When looking for those little gifts to fit into a shoe, sock, or stocking, look for supplements that offer free supplement samples. This is a great way to gift your loved one with health, and you aren’t being too direct. It shows them that you’ve taken the time to consider their interests and their overall wellness.
  2. A Supplement Gift for Health and Wellness
    If you’re looking for a bigger gift, and you know what they like, we recommend considering a supplement subscription. A subscription gift lets the recipient never worry about running out of their favorite supplement. Plus, subscription gifts have the added benefit of:
    – discounts per bottle. Look for subscriptions that boast 15% or more;
    – cancellation policies that you can discontinue anytime, no strings attached, and even let you call direct;
    – skipping a delivery if needed;
    – reminding you in advance that your card will be charged in a few days to ensure there are no unwanted surprises;
    – and, offer free shipping.
  3. Check Online Before Buying Supplement Gifts
    Next time you are grocery shopping check online before buying. It literally takes a matter of seconds to search online for a supplement and you can see if the supplements provider offers free samples, subscription gifts, or even seasonal and monthly special offers. Gift giving is plentiful and every penny counts.

There are so many ways to show love and care to those you’re buying gifts for, and supplements as gifts are a great place to start. By investing in the health of your loved ones through the supplement gifts, you are showing them how important to you they really are.
