Quiz: Choosing the right multivitamin

With so many choices available, it can be difficult to decide which multivitamin will suit you best. Read our quick guide to find the best choice for you.

Formulated to combine a carefully curated selection of vitamins and minerals, multivitamins can help you meet your essential daily nutrient requirements.

But how do you know which multivitamin is the best one to take?

A good rule of thumb is to take the multivitamin that suits your life stage, or the one that supports your well-being or specific needs best. For example, if you want to take a multivitamin when you are pregnant, there are multivitamins specifically to support your needs. This is because pregnancy comes with unique requirements regarding specific nutrients, like folic acid and iodine.

It’s a similar story for life stages and your gender, too. Not only do men and women often need different quantities of certain nutrients, the nutritional needs of someone who’s celebrated their 50th birthday will be different to a teenager’s requirements.

Different supplements can provide better assistance than others with different stress and sleep challenges, so choosing the most suitable one will depend on how you’re feeling and your particular needs.
