There are no good multivitamins, they aren't recommended here. Multivitamins tend to contain too little of anything to help low levels or deficiencies, they tend to use the cheapest, least absorbable and wrong form of ingredients and often contain things that we should test for first and only supplement if found to be deficient, eg iron, calcium, iodine.

If it contains Vit C and B12 then the Vit C stops the body absorbing the B12, they need to be taken two hours apart, and if it contains iron then that affects the absorption of everything else, iron needs to be taken 2 hours away from other supplements.

We advise testing key nutrients and supplementing what is necessary at the appropriate dose.
