10 vitamins and supplements to consider for optimal metabolic health.

Livin' The Dream

Today, we discover the vitamins, minerals, and supplements that research shows may help improve metabolic health. Plus: the ones you can probably skip.

Optimal metabolic health requires more than watching your carbohydrate intake or getting enough protein and fat to support stable blood sugar. Yes, minding these macronutrients is essential, but many other nutrients and nutrient-like substances found in food—such as micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), antioxidant phytochemicals, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and probiotic bacteria—are unsung workhorses when it comes to supporting the body’s vital metabolic processes.

According to surveys, a large percentage of Americans’ diets are deficient in critical micronutrients—94% don’t get enough Vitamin D, 53% don’t get enough magnesium, 44% don’t get enough calcium. For some people, diets that contain a lot of processed foods and lack a diversity of fruits and vegetables can cause deficiencies. Even those who eat a healthy diet of whole or minimally processed foods (with an emphasis on a variety of colorful plants) can still come up short on certain nutrients because of declining soil quality and inadequate nutrient absorption.
