How soon is too soon to start taking preventative vitamins?!
Question: That is to say; Could a woman in her 20s reasonably start taking vitamins to help combat the effects of aging (IE: calcium and vitamin D, red rice yeast, etc.)?

Absolutely, yes. It's much more likely that, even at this age, you have a deficiency of these things, so you will benefit from taking them. However, with something like calcium, there is a recommended daily amount for women of your age, and then a higher amount recommended for menopausal women. So you'll want to take the lower amount. But taking it when young helps lay down a foundation of health that will serve you well when you are older. Something like vitamin D can always be useful--taking it lowers one's risk of breast cancer, for example. But don't take things that are recommended to deal with menopause, obviously, because they will compete with your normal level of hormones.
Of course. You should also include calcium, because the worst effect of aging for women is in their bones. Osteoporosis is on the rise. If you started taking more calcium in your 20s regularly, you can extend your quality of life for up to 10 years.
There is no age that is too young. Preventative maintenance can go a long way.
you can take vitamins anytime..but there are more factors for aging...stress...sun bathing ect.calcium should be taken right away...unless you drink the milk...best to talk to dr...but one vitamin is good for you....just don't take too many
You must have the 52 essential nutrients in order to obtain and keep optimum health. No one get the all in the correct doses. There is no way for a person to know Exactly what you are getting. We do know it cannot come from a 2000 calorie diet.20,000 calories maybe. It is complex and everyone needs to research it and take their best guess. Be careful you can overdose on nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins and minerals.
