It\u2019s what connects all the various parts of your body, transporting oxygen and nutrients to literally every single cell. Without blood circulation, your organs, muscles, tissues, and bones wouldn\u2019t be able to do what they\u2019re supposed to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means it\u2019s essential to prioritize healthy circulation, especially as you age (and your body becomes less efficient at distributing blood to where it&#8217;s needed). Most healthy people don\u2019t need to boost their circulation with supplements, but people with poor circulation\u2014whether it\u2019s caused by medical conditions, deficiencies, or lifestyle factors\u2014could benefit from some vitamins that help improve blood flow. Here\u2019s what to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-blood-circulation-matters\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why blood circulation matters<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every single cell in your body needs oxygen and nutrients, and your blood is responsible for delivering them. It also has the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279250\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">task of removing waste like carbon dioxide from your tissues<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This supply-and-removal system is operated by your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.massgeneralbrigham.org\/en\/about\/newsroom\/articles\/blood-circulation-affects-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heart and blood vessels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which pump blood back and forth throughout all parts of your body. This process helps keep your organs, tissues, bones, and other systems functioning correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the short term, poor circulation can cause <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/21882-poor-circulation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">symptoms such as cold hands and feet, numbness, swelling, and varicose veins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

There are numerous options on the market today, and the supplement industry markets them fairly aggressively to consumers (sometimes without sufficient evidence to support their claims).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI find people often \u2018over supplement\u2019 after they hear recommendations from friends and social media,\u201d says Waegelein, \u201c[but] my rule of thumb is to look at food first. Infuse more vitamins and minerals into your diet [by] \u2018eating the rainbow\u2019 and then slowly add in supplements where you find gaps or need additional support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of finding gaps, Beaucejour recommends working with a healthcare provider who can check your vitamin levels if you aren\u2019t sure what those nutrition gaps actually are. A specialized blood panel can determine if you have a deficiency, making it easier for your provider to recommend the appropriate dosage based on your health needs. Once it\u2019s time to choose a supplement, be sure to check for information about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/tag\/supplements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quality and testing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of any product you\u2019re considering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause supplements aren&#8217;t regulated, there is unfortunately a lot of false labeling or tampering that occurs with products,\u201d says Waegelein. \u201cI always recommend looking for brands that are third-party tested or have an NSF certification.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Hartman agrees, noting the recent news about high levels of lead found in protein supplements: \u201cThese supplements are not held to any standard, so sometimes there are extra ingredients in there that aren&#8217;t supposed to be, or amounts are excessive or too low.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"important-considerations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important considerations\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you and your provider agree that a supplement could benefit your circulation, ensure you have a consistent method for taking it so it actually provides the positive effects you\u2019re hoping for. Waegelein says compliance is one of the toughest parts of adding a supplement to your routine, and recommends keeping them out where you\u2019ll regularly see them, setting a reminder on your phone to take them, or lining them up with something you do at the same time of day (like eating breakfast) to make sure you remember them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we noted, the quality of your supplement is more important than anything else, including the amount you take. \u201cToo much of a good thing is still too much,\u201d says Waegelein. \u201cIron is a perfect example of this: high iron levels [result in] thicker blood, which can lead to more clotting.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waegelein adds that most dosages listed on supplement labels are generally sufficient and safe for the average consumer, but stresses the importance of consulting with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement. You can overdo it and experience side effects like headaches, nausea, neon-colored urine, fatigue, and mood changes, she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people should also avoid certain vitamins because they could worsen existing health conditions or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/medications-vitamin-interactions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interact with their prescription medications<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
