Description
Evidence Tier · Randomized Controlled Trials
A broad-spectrum daily multivitamin providing essential vitamins and minerals at or near the Daily Value, with supporting plant extracts.
What It Does
Helps fill common gaps in vitamin and mineral intake.*
How It Works
Vitamins and minerals act as cofactors in energy metabolism, immune signaling, and tissue maintenance. A daily multivitamin covers shortfalls that are common in typical diets, particularly vitamin D, magnesium and zinc.
Why This Form
Formulated to Daily Value levels rather than megadoses. The largest long-term trials of daily multivitamins used similar, modest doses.
Clinical Evidence
The Physicians’ Health Study II followed 14,641 men for a median of 11.2 years on a daily multivitamin.¹ The COSMOS trial reported effects of a daily multivitamin on memory in older adults.²
What The Evidence Does Not Show
Several nutrients are in standard forms (cyanocobalamin, folic acid, magnesium oxide) rather than active forms. The formula includes small amounts of plant extracts within blends. A multivitamin does not replace a varied diet.
