A multivitamin can help fill the nutritional gaps when it’s difficult to meet your vitamin and mineral needs through food alone. You may want to consider a multivitamin if you follow a restrictive diet, only eat certain food groups, have a diagnosed deficiency or a medical condition, or take medications that interfere with nutrient absorption. Additionally, taking multivitamins designed for specific stages of life that require increased vitamin and mineral needs may be beneficial, such as before and during pregnancy.1

When selecting our top picks of multivitamins, we prioritized independently tested, research-backed products containing quality ingredients, including the most absorbable forms of certain vitamins and minerals. We also selected formulas that do not exceed the established Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for any individual nutrient. In addition to our extensive research, we asked over 60 adults for their feedback on taste, texture, convenience, and general experience with various multivitamins on the market. We also tested 19 multivitamins in our lab for their size, smell, and texture.
