Choosing a multivitamin for you and your family

Choosing a multivitamin for you and your family

MegaFood | October 2021

At MegaFood, we believe a just-right multivitamin is an easy, everyday way to nurture your true nature, and your family’s, too. The way we see it, an effective foundational multi is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, helping address any nutritional gaps and powering you - and every member of the family - to be your most authentic self.

The catch: It can be daunting to find a multi that addresses each of your specific needs! After all, there’s a multitude of multi options available nowadays on pharmacy store shelves, big box stores and, of course, your local natural products store or co-op retailer. Even within a single brand, you may find a range of options, broken up by age, gender and even number of tablets per day. On top of that, every member of the family has a unique lifestyle, unique diet and unique habits, resulting in what may be unique nutritional needs across the board.

Feeling overwhelmed? (No wonder only ⅓ of Americans currently take a multi.Footnote 1) To help simplify things, we’re breaking down the differences between our multi options to help you find a just-right choice for yourself and your family members. Regardless of which MegaFood multi you choose, you can rest assured that as a brand obsessed with quality, purity and safety, all our multivitamins are made with vitamins, minerals and real food from trusted farm partners, plus added nutrients, are Non-GMO Project Verified, certified glyphosate residue free, tested for 125+ herbicides and pesticides and free from gluten, dairy and soy.

Potency: take two

MegaFood Multi for Women 40+Our doctor-formulated multivitamins were created by our Chief Medical Advisor Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., who literally wrote the book on the gaps in our diet, and shared her expertise to help us make the most up-to-date multi we possibly could.

The doctor-formulated multis boast:

  • 70% daily value or more for many of the key nutrients
  • Active forms of B12 and folate for those seeking the methyl forms
  • Active forms of B6 and B2
  • Choline

Choline is a member of the B-vitamin family, and is vital for healthy cognitive function and more*. The primary way to get it in the diet is by eating eggs, which makes it a challenging nutrient to get if you’re not a fan, or are following a plant-based diet. If you think your dietary intake of choline may be low, you may want to check your current multi for choline, and consider upgrading to a formula that offers it.

The doctor-formulated multis are great options for:

  • Those looking to get the most nutrition from their multi as possible
  • Those open to taking two tablets per day
  • Those who desire methylated forms of folate and B12

Convenience & delivery

MegaFood One Daily multivitaminAnother option is our popular supplement for first-timers, One Daily multivitamins that pack quite a punch in just a single tablet. This includes Women’s One Daily, Women Over 40 One Daily, Women Over 55 One Daily, Men’s One Daily, Men Over 40 One Daily, Men Over 55 One Daily, One Daily, and One Daily Iron Free.

One Daily’s are great options for a range of folks, including:

  • Those taking several other supplements
  • Those that want “one & done”

Take a break from tablets

Women's One Daily Multivitamin Soft ChewsTablets aren’t for everyone, we get it.

Both options help fill nutritional gaps in an enjoyable, tablet-free way.
