Products for aging safely at home

The rows are grouped by the job: getting around, the bathroom and the night, or a bottle with a printed price. Measure the person and the room, read who the item is for, and check the return rule before you order.

This directory is not medical advice. Start from the situation on the home page or take the free home safety check.

Some rows feature Vive Health products. The Vive Health review explains the company filing, return limits, and the bed rails to skip. A commission does not decide which row is listed. Vive's payment note says it does not take Medicare or Medicaid, and it cannot take HSA cards.

Cane, walker, bath seat, transfer

One weaker leg points to a cane. Both hands on a frame points to a walker. A seat is a rollator or a shower chair. A transfer is a belt, a board, or a lift.

Product	Material	Who it fits	Price	Guide
Vital ProteinsCollagen peptides advanced	Collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The brand page listed this bottle at $29.99.	A powder people stir into coffee for skin, hair, and joints. The bone guide on this site is food, vitamin D, and prescribed bone drugs.	$29.99, Oct 6

Nature MadeFish oil, 1,000 mg	Two softgels: 2,000 mg fish oil, 600 mg omega-3, of which 500 mg is EPA and DHA. The label says supportive but not conclusive research shows EPA and DHA may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.	Ask first if the parent takes warfarin, ibuprofen or aspirin, or a blood pressure drug. The brand page showed a shipment price, not a single-bottle price.	No single-bottle price, Oct 6
Nature's BountyMelatonin, 1 mg	1 mg per tablet, 180 tablets. The label says one tablet at bedtime, and limits use to two months with a one-week break.	The sleep guide starts around 0.5 to 1 mg, a couple of hours before bed, when the clock has drifted. Ask first if the parent takes a blood thinner, a blood pressure drug, or a diabetes drug. A 5 mg or 10 mg bottle is a higher dose than that start.	Price not printed on the product page, Oct 6	Guide
Osteo Bi-FlexTriple Strength	Two tablets: 1,500 mg glucosamine HCl, plus a 1,103 mg chondroitin and MSM complex. The 120-count listing says take two tablets a day with food. Contains shellfish.	A knee bottle people already buy. Evidence for joints other than the knee is a small amount, so hands are the wrong reason. Ask first on a blood thinner. The retailer page did not print a price.	No price on that page, Oct 6	Guide
Nature MadeVitamin B12, 1,000 mcg	One softgel, 1,000 mcg. The brand page did not print a single-bottle price.	A high-dose B12, not the amount in food. Ask before adding it on top of a 50+ multivitamin that already contains B12.	No single-bottle price, Oct 6
Nature MadeVitamin D3, 2,000 IU	One softgel, 2,000 IU (50 mcg). The brand page on October 6 showed a shipment price, not a single-bottle price.	A commonly stocked dose. The bone guide's total is about 800 to 1,000 IU a day from food and supplements together, so this softgel is higher than that range. Ask before the first one.	No single-bottle price, Oct 6	Guide
