> Micronutrient needs are highly personal and vary by age and sex. Chronic health conditions and medications can also affect micronutrient needs.
However, adult men generally need to make sure to get enough of the following vitamins and minerals:
- **Vitamin A:** necessary for skin, eye, and immune health
- **B vitamins:** involved in energy metabolism and red blood cell production
- **Vitamin C:** essential for the immune system and [collagen production](https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/collagen)
- **Vitamin D:** important for bone, dental, immune, and prostate health
- **Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K:** vital for bone health
- **Vitamin E and selenium:** antioxidants that help protect cells from damage
- **Magnesium and potassium:** regulate blood pressure and heart and muscle contraction and promote cardiovascular health
As men age, **vitamin B12** also becomes harder to absorb, and a supplement may be necessary.
