Essential for Men and Essential for Men 50+ share the same ingredients, but varying dosages for five nutrients. Essential for Men 50+ has:

-More Vitamin E (6.7 mg →10 mg)

-More Vitamin K2 (90 mcg →100 mcg)

-More Vitamin B12 (8 mcg →16 mcg)

-More Folate (200 mcg DFE→400 mcg DFE)

-More Magnesium (30 mg→60 mg)

Essential for Men 50+ was specifically formulated based on the changing nutrient needs of men in this age range and to help fill gaps of key nutrients they may not be getting enough of from their diets, or due to lifestyle and genetic factors.*

For example, we included more magnesium in Essential for Men 50+ because magnesium helps support bone health. *

We also included more Vitamin B12 because adult males over 50 often have a harder time getting enough Vitamin B12 from food sources. Because of this, the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) recommends that adults over the age of 50 obtain most of their Vitamin B12 from vitamin supplements or fortified foods. *
