Do You Actually Need a Multivitamin??
and is our food lowering in nutritional quality??
HI!
Let’s talk about something that’s probably sitting in your kitchen cabinet right now, next to your oat milk and half-used garlic powder: the multivitamin.
Multis are one of the most popular supplements out there. You might take one every morning, hoping it fills the nutritional gaps in your day. Or maybe you bought a bottle during a burst of health motivation and then forgot about it (no judgment lol).
BUT DO YOU NEED IT?
What Even Is a Multivitamin?
A multivitamin is like a nutritional cocktail. Usually, it has a bunch of essential vitamins and minerals. Think vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and B-complex, along with minerals like zinc, magnesium, selenium, and iron (sometimes).
The formula and exact amounts of things varies a lot between brands, and honestly, some of them are more marketing than science (cough: a lot of gummy vitamins or supplements with weak forms of certain nutrients).
