• Pick a formula that fits your age, gender, and life stage, like prenatal vitamins for pregnancy or added vitamin D and B12 for adults over 50. 

• Look for the USP Verified Mark to ensure quality, safety, and proper absorption.

• Choose a multivitamin with close to 100% of the Daily Value for most nutrients and avoid high-dose options unless advised by a healthcare provider.

• Multivitamins are meant to support a balanced diet, not replace it.  

Always check with your doctor or dietitian before starting a new supplement. Shop multivitamins at Pavilions online, in-store, or in the app.

Prebiotics and probiotics work together to support gut health.

• Prebiotics are fibers found in foods like bananas, garlic, onions, and whole grains. They feed the good bacteria already in your gut, helping them thrive.

• Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kimchi, or in supplements. They help restore balance in your gut microbiome, improving digestion, immunity, and even mood.

Together, they’re called synbiotics, offering enhanced benefits by both introducing good bacteria and fueling them. 

When to Take Them:

• Probiotics are helpful during and after antibiotics, for digestive issues like bloating or diarrhea, or for daily wellness.

• Prebiotics are best taken daily, through food or supplements, to consistently nourish your gut bacteria.

• For best results, take them regularly and follow the label instructions. 

Always consult your healthcare provider or dietitian to find the right type and timing for your needs.

Pick a protein based on your goals:

• Muscle gain/recovery: Go for whey or whey isolate, fast-digesting and rich in leucine.

• Weight loss: Choose low-carb, no-added-sugar options, and skip extras like BCAAs.

• Plant-based: Try soy, pea, or blended proteins (like pea + rice) for complete amino acids. 

• Sensitive digestion: Look for lactose-free, gluten-free, and no artificial sweeteners.

How Much Protein You Need:

• Sedentary: ~0.8g/kg body weight

• Moderately active: ~1.3g/kg 

• Highly active/muscle building: ~1.6–2.2g/kg

For personalized advice, check in with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian.

Focus on key ingredients:

• Glucosamine: Supports cartilage structure and may help with age-related joint wear.

• Chondroitin: Often paired with glucosamine; it helps retain water in cartilage for better cushioning.

• Turmeric (Curcumin): Known for anti-inflammatory benefits that may ease joint discomfort. 

Effectiveness varies by individual. Use supplements to support wellness, not replace medical care. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting a new regimen.

Some may be safe, but others can interact with medications or cause side effects. The FDA doesn’t test supplements before they’re sold, so it’s hard to know which are truly safe. The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends checking with a doctor or pharmacist before using any herbal supplement regularly.

Vitamin D supports strong bones, a healthy immune system, and proper muscle and nerve function. Since it’s mainly produced through sunlight and found in few foods, a supplement may help if you spend little time outdoors, use sunscreen regularly, have darker skin, or have conditions that affect absorption.

Ask your healthcare provider to check your levels and recommend the right dose for you.

Vitamins and supplements help fill nutritional gaps, boost energy, support immunity, and promote healthy skin and hair. Targeted nutrients also aid long-term wellness, including bone and heart health. The right choice depends on your diet, goals, and health needs.

Ask your healthcare provider to check your levels and recommend the right dose for you.

• Pre-Made Drinks: Convenient but pricier, with fixed servings and possible added sugar or preservatives.

• Powders: More affordable, customizable, and often cleaner, but require mixing.

Both are solid options. Choose based on your budget, lifestyle, and preferences. For personalized advice, check with your healthcare provider.

Here are the recommended wellness tips to help children stay healthy and thrive:
