Vitamins & Minerals Supplements

Shop vitamins and minerals at Elite Supps. Vitamins and minerals are the essential micronutrients your body needs to work normally - from energy and immunity to bones, muscles and nervous-system function. A varied, balanced diet is the best source, but supplements can help fill genuine gaps. Every member of our team is a certified nutritionist, so you can choose with confidence.

  • Vitamin D - involved in bone health, muscle function and supporting normal immune function. Many Australians run low, especially in winter.
  • Vitamin C - an antioxidant that supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron.
  • B vitamins (incl. B12) - involved in normal energy metabolism and a healthy nervous system; B12 is one to watch on a plant-based diet.
  • Zinc - a mineral involved in immune function, skin and normal metabolism.
  • Magnesium and iron - magnesium for muscle, nerve and energy function; iron for healthy red blood cells (best checked with your GP first).

Together, these micronutrients play vital, often synergistic roles across the body (1).

Single Vitamins vs a Multivitamin

If you know you are low in one nutrient - say vitamin D or B12 - a single supplement lets you target it at the right dose. If you would rather cover the basics in one go, a multivitamin provides a broad spread of micronutrients daily. Many people do both: a multivitamin for general cover, plus a targeted vitamin for a known gap.

Who Might Benefit?

Supplements are most useful if your diet is restricted (vegan, vegetarian or limited variety), your needs are higher (pregnancy, certain life stages, heavy training), you spend little time outdoors (vitamin D), or a blood test has shown a deficiency. For everyone else, food comes first.

How to Take and Safety

Follow the directions on the label - with vitamins and minerals, more is not better, and some are best taken with food or at certain times of day. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and minerals like iron can build up, so do not exceed the recommended dose. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or suspect a deficiency, talk to your GP or pharmacist first.

FAQ

What are vitamins and minerals?

Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients your body needs to function normally - for energy, immunity, bones, muscles and the nervous system. You get most from a varied diet; supplements help fill gaps.

Which vitamins and minerals should I take?

It depends on your diet and needs. Common picks include vitamin D, vitamin C, B vitamins and zinc - or a multivitamin for broad cover. If you suspect a deficiency, a GP blood test is the best guide.

Single vitamin or a multivitamin?

A single vitamin targets a known gap at the right dose; a multivitamin covers the basics in one daily supplement. Many people use a multivitamin plus a targeted vitamin like D or B12.

Are vitamins and minerals safe?

Generally yes at recommended doses, but more is not better - fat-soluble vitamins and minerals like iron can build up. Follow the label and check with your GP or pharmacist if you take medication or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
