Points to Remember while buying a Multi-Vitamin Supplement

Always buy from a reputed pharmacological or nutraceutical company which has proven track record. Stick to a company with a reputation for good manufacturing.

  • Multivitamins don’t meet the Recommended daily allowance (RDA) for some micronutrients
  • Multivitamins may contain extra ingredients but in too small doses to make a difference
  • Many multi vitamins make you choose between too much of some vitamins/minerals and less of others.
  • Do not prefer multivitamins that contain too many ingredients. Some multi vitamins may have some herbal ingredients that are unproven and the minor quantity may not make much difference
  • Focus on the main essential vitamins and minerals and their proportions.
  • Some product may contain vitamins or minerals in poorly absorbable form like Vitamin B12- Methyl cobalamin or Mecobalamin is efficient form than Cyanocobalamin. Magnesium Glycinate is better than Magnesium Oxide and so on.
