Father’s Day gift for health – a guide – Vitaler’s
A tie will get boring, a gadget will end up in a drawer. A Father’s Day gift for health is something that dads and granddads will really appreciate – because it’s there for them every day, not just on special occasions.
If you’re looking for a gift idea for a dad who looks after his health, or wondering what to buy for a dad who already has everything, supplements could prove to be the perfect choice. It’s a natural Father’s Day gift that says: I want you to stay in good shape. Below are five suggestions tailored to different needs – from active men to older men who value a peaceful everyday life.
For a physically active dad – Sport and recovery
If your dad runs, cycles or regularly goes to the gym, he’ll appreciate some support with recovery. In this category, the classics for active people are ideal: creatine, citrulline and the ZMA complex combining magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and helps reduce feelings of tiredness and fatigue. Zinc supports the normal functioning of the immune system, which is important during intense training.
[products:micronised-creatine-monohydrate-5000-mg-500-g, zma-magnesium-240-mg-zinc-15-mg-vitamin-b6-10-mg-120-capsules, citrulline-l-citrulline-malate-powder-500-g, natural-fish-collagen-350-g] [tip: Creatine monohydrate is one of the most thoroughly researched forms of support for active people – a good choice for a dad who values results.]
You’ll find the full range in the Sport and Recovery category.
For dads looking after their heart – Healthy Heart
Men in their fifties are increasingly thinking proactively about preventative care. Supplements for men aged 50+ that support heart health are one of the most thoughtful gift ideas.
The cornerstone here is Omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal functioning of the heart (when taken at a dose of 250 mg per day). A good complement is potassium, which helps maintain normal blood pressure, and coenzyme Q10 for dads looking for comprehensive support.
[products:omega-3-forte-1000-mg-120-capsules, coenzyme-q10-100-mg-60-capsules, potassium-citrate-380-mg-120-capsules, norwegian-fish-oil-omega-3-1200-mg-250-ml]
More suggestions await in the Omega Acids category.
For dad who’s lacking energy – Energy and vitality
Daily tiredness is a common topic of conversation with dad or grandad. Here, it’s worth looking into ingredients that support energy metabolism, as well as traditional plant extracts that have been valued for generations.
Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce feelings of tiredness and fatigue. Added to this are adaptogens and plant extracts – such as ginseng and maca – which have long been part of the traditional canon of herbal medicine.
[products:vitamin-b12-100-mcg-120-tablets, korean-ginseng-panax-ginseng-500-mg-60-capsules, maca-600-mg-60-capsules, ashwagandha-600-mg-60-capsules] [note:All Vitaler’s supplements are made with pure ingredients, free from artificial colours, preservatives and unnecessary fillers.]

For dads who value a clear mind – Brain and concentration
Mental activity doesn’t stop with age – quite the opposite. For a dad who does crosswords, reads and likes to have everything organised, ingredients that support the nervous system and plant extracts from this category make a great gift.
Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Omega-3 fatty acids from DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal brain function (when 250 mg of DHA is consumed daily). These can be supplemented with plant extracts such as echinacea or ginkgo biloba.
[products:echinacea-500-mg-60-capsules, ginkgo-biloba-120-mg-60-capsules, omega-3-forte-1000-mg-120-capsules, magnesium-100-mg-potassium-150-mg-vitamin-b6-10-mg-120-capsules]

For dad who’s watching his figure – Metabolism
If dad pays attention to what he eats and likes to stay on top of things, he’ll appreciate a boost to his metabolism. This is a great idea for a healthy gift for a grandad or dad in his fifties.
Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to the normal metabolism of macronutrients. Iodine contributes to normal energy metabolism. Popular plant extracts in this category include berberine and milk thistle.
[products:chromium-200-mcg-180-tablets, berberine-400-mg-60-capsules, milk-thistle-350-mg-60-capsules, iodine-200-mcg-120-tablets] [warning:It is advisable to consult a doctor before starting supplementation, particularly if your dad is taking regular medication.]
