We’ve all been there at one point or another. Alone, scared, and aimlessly staring at the supplement store vitamin wall. There are enough colors, options, sizes, and unintelligible language to make anybody’s head spin. But we’re here to help!
Vitamin shopping sure can be intimidating but when you get down to it, distinguishing between a high-quality multivitamin and ones to avoid is just a matter of understanding a few basic principles. Today, we’re going to arm you with knowledge! Here’s what to look for and what to avoid in a multivitamin.
Look For: Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a biological workhorse and a key component of the human immune system. Sure, it can be sourced by standing out in the sunshine but that’s not always an option. Thankfully, most high-quality multivitamins include it in some form or another.
The recommended daily dose of vitamin D rests somewhere in the 600 to 800 IU per day range. So be mindful of how many multivitamins you plan on taking in a day and choose one accordingly.
