Comparison of Over 100 Popular Multivitamin Brands

Most multivitamins you buy at your local store are not carefully formulated to give you the optimal nutrition you
need. Their manufacturers use low-quality ingredients that are not potent or bioavailable enough to be beneficial.
They may meet the government’s recommended daily intake guidelines, but they don’t use the type of nutrients
that are most easily absorbed by your body.

For these reasons, the vast majority of multivitamins available today are simply not good enough to spend your
hard-earned money on. You want the benefits of the best vitamin and mineral supplement you can find, but
you’re not sure how to find the right multivitamin for your needs. We always recommend doing your own
research instead of trying to wade through the marketing noise of most vitamin companies, and this Multivitamin
Guide is a good start.

We’ve done indepth analysis of over 100 vitamin brands, including popular supplements such as Centrum, One-A-
Day, GNC, Shaklee, Nutrilite/Amway, Equate, Nature Made, NOW Foods, Melaleuca, and Puritan’s Pride. We’ve
also included many brands that are not so recognizable, including Xtend-Life, Douglas Labs and USANA.

Each of the reviewed vitamins was evaluated against four criteria, including composition, bioavailability, safety,
and potency. Each supplement received a score ranging from 0 to 10 to help you easily compare the
