5 Vitamins You Should Start Taking For Faster Digestion

Spring Valley Vitamin B1 Tablets ($3.96)

It's possible to get all of the essential nutrients you need from diet alone. But if you worry that your diet isn't balanced and want to rely on vitamin supplements for better digestion, your B vitamins are a good place to start. 

This vitamin B1 supplement, also known as thiamine, helps regulate appetite and converts carbohydrates from your food into energy for your cells, according to Everyday Health. This gluten-free supplement supports your metabolism and nervous system.

Spring Valley Niacin Capsules ($5.94)

Another important B vitamin, niacin (also called vitamin B3) breaks down carbohydrates, fats, and alcohol from your food. Niacin also helps form new red blood cells and increases hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which is necessary for proper digestion. 

Nature Made VItamin Chewable C ($5.44)

We're told to take more vitamin C when we feel a cold coming on, which may or may not actually be helpful, but there's one fact about vitamin C that is true: It aids the body in absorbing iron, which helps your digestive system run properly. 

Nature Made Vitamin D3 Softgels ($12.88)

It can be tough to get enough vitamin D, particularly if you are vegan or try to stay out of the sun. Taking a vitamin D supplement will help your body absorb calcium, which keeps your bones healthy and decreases your risk of getting colon cancer. 

Align Probiotic Supplement ($43.98)

Though not technically a vitamin, no list of supplements for digestion would be complete without a quality probiotic. Adding live bacteria and yeasts to your digestive system balances the good and bad bacteria in your gut and can help with a host of health concerns that range from irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease to oral health and possibly even skin conditions like eczema, according to WebMD. Include a probiotic supplement to your daily regimen and your digestive system will automatically improve.
