Q: Do I need a multivitamin if I eat well?
A: Even with a healthy diet, certain nutritional gaps are common — particularly vitamin D, magnesium, B12, and iodine. A multivitamin provides consistency even on days when diet isn't perfect.
Q: What should I look for in a quality multivitamin?
A: Activated nutrient forms (methylfolate, methylcobalamin, D3), appropriate iron content for your life stage, meaningful doses, and minimal artificial additives.
Q: Should men and women take different formulas?
A: Men's formulas typically contain lower or no iron; women's formulas include higher iron and folate. Prenatal formulas add elevated folate, iodine, and often DHA.
Q: What's the best time to take a multivitamin?
A: With a meal containing fat supports absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Morning or lunch suits most people better than evening due to B vitamin energy support.
