My Favorite Multiple Take One Multivitamin
Natrol
Overview
This multivitamin provides a wide array of vitamins and minerals at varying doses. While several of the vitamins are included at high percentages of the daily value and may help with deficiencies, several key minerals are included at very low doses resulting in little to no benefit. The inclusion of proprietary blends prevents a thorough assessment of the effectiveness of those ingredients. Overall, this product is unlikely to provide significant health benefits beyond what a balanced diet would provide.
The Good
Includes many essential vitamins and minerals.
Once-daily formula makes it easy to take
Provides significantly more than 100% daily value of many vitamins
The Bad
Ineffective forms of some minerals (e.g., calcium and magnesium)
Several nutrients are severely underdosed (e.g., calcium, magnesium, potassium)
Potential interactions with certain medications
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking general nutritional support, those with dietary gaps, adults looking for daily wellness maintenance
Skip If: You have specific medical conditions, are pregnant or nursing, or are taking medications that may interact with certain vitamins/minerals.
