Kravich says that vitamin D is also an essential nutrient that we need since we often aren't exposed to enough natural light. "Getting vitamin D is important for the synthesis of calcium and our structural health," she explains.

Calcium
"Take calcium at night at bedtime in liquid or powdered capsule form," suggests Kravich. She elaborates that it acts like the best sleeping pill in the world (and we could all use a little help sleeping, no?). Plus, it can help with weight management, since it relaxes and helps you get into a deeper sleep, which in turn allows your body to repair itself.

Collagen
"Research suggests that supplementing with collagen is a safe and effective way to improve the health of skin and joints," says registered dietitian Gabrielle Mancella, RD of Orlando Health. She says that there are various types of collagen available, including marine collagen, which is said to be an effective means to obtain the benefits.
"This vitamin is great for putting some zest back in your life, having a better frame of mind and overall improved well-being," says diet and nutrition trendsetter Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD. She explains that it's vital for supporting red blood and helps with anemia for greater stamina and energy — and bonus, it's also helpful for combatting depression and memory loss.
