A multivitamin is a supplement that contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. In higher-end multivitamins, they also contain herbs, antioxidants, grains and even probiotics in some cases. The specific ingredients vary and you can choose a certain multivitamin to suit your individual needs. But all contain different micronutrients to support health and well-being.
They are the most popular type of private label vitamins and supplements used globally by the general population. And the fact that their usage has increased significantly in recent years makes them a great addition to any product line. But should you be taking them?
Here’s my take on Multivitamins:
What Are the Benefits of Multivitamins?
The benefits of multivitamins vary, according to the ingredients. But here are some of the most common benefits:
They can help support heart health.
There are many multivitamin ingredients thought to improve heart health. These include:
- Vitamin D
- Omega-3 (a fatty acid)
- Magnesium
- Folic Acid
- Vitamin K
They can help support brain function.
Nutrition has been found to play a key role when it comes to brain health. Multivitamin ingredients that may support this include:
- Vitamin B1
- Folic Acid
- Zinc
- Magnesium
- Vitamin C
They can help support eye health.
Even our eyes need certain nutrients to stay healthy. If this is a concern to you, the following ingredients are thought to help:
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin A
- Niacin
- Thiamin
But really — it would be impossible to list all the benefits today as there are so many.
Micronutrients are known to be involved in most processes within the human body, so it’s important to make sure we’re getting enough of them.
Are There Any Risks?
Most multivitamins are safe for the majority of the population.
However, if you have specific health conditions, it’s always a good idea to consult a medical professional before you start taking them.
It’s also important to consider dosage.
For example, certain vitamins — such as Vitamin A — are thought to accumulate in the body. This means that repeated exposure to high doses can have negative side effects.
Whereas, B/C Vitamins are water-soluble and don’t pose a high risk when taken in larger amounts as your body will naturally secrete any excess through your urine. This is in most cases. We are not suggesting taking large amount well over the Daily Value’s for extended periods of time unless you consult with a medical professional.
Who Should Take Multivitamins?
Multivitamins aren’t for everyone.
They might be a surplus to requirements for people who get sufficient nutrition from their diet. But people who restrict certain food groups — such as vegans or vegetarians — would likely benefit.
Similarly, people on low-calorie diets might want to consider taking a multivitamin to make up for their reduced food intake.
Nutritional needs are also likely to change during later life. Along with a decreased food intake, this makes elderly people perfect candidates for multivitamin usage.
