Which multivitamin is best? Our Natural Daily Multivitamin explained

What is a good multivitamin?

A good multivitamin is:

• Complete: contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids
• Correctly dosed: around 100% RI per day, not much above it
• Natural: based on algae and seawater, rather than synthetic substances
• Biologically active: active forms such as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (B6), 5-MTHF (folate) and d-α-tocopherol (E)

Overdosing formulas poses risks. For example, EFSA states that long-term use above the Upper Level for vitamin B6 (12 mg/day) can be harmful (EFSA NDA Panel, 2023). For this reason, our Multi contains no more than 100% RI of the A.D.H. for each nutrient.

What does a multivitamin do to your body?

A multivitamin supplements deficiencies and supports normal body functions. Large-scale reviews (Mangione et al., 2022; O’Connor et al., 2022) show no prevention of cancer or heart disease in the general population. However, benefits have been found for specific groups such as the elderly (Baker et al., 2023; Vyas et al., 2024).

What is the best multivitamin for the elderly?

In 60+, the need for B12, D and magnesium increases. RCTs such as COSMOS-Mind show cognitive benefits of a daily multivitamin in the elderly (Baker et al., 2023; Vyas et al., 2024). Our formula contains these nutrients in active forms and safe doses.

Which multivitamin for woman & child?

Woman

Important for women include folate (5-MTHF), essential during pregnancy. Low folate status is a risk factor for neural tube defects (Samaniego-Vaesken et al., 2024).

Child

Our formula can be used from 1 year of age, adjusted according to body weight. Not suitable under 1 year of age.

When to take multivitamin?

Preferably take during a meal for optimal absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Choose a set time, e.g. breakfast.
