Multivitamins (0)

In our journey towards optimal health and nutrition, multivitamins are a popular and practical way to increase nutrient intake when requirements are higher or if there are nutrients missing from your diet. Almost one in two Australians take a dietary supplement. Whether you’re navigating dietary restrictions, aiming to offset nutrient deficiencies or seeking to improve your overall health, we’re here to help you understand multivitamins and how they work.

Healthylife offers a wide selection of high-quality multivitamins, catering to various health goals and dietary needs. Formulas for women, men, teen girls, teen boys and kids are available, and formats include tablets, capsules, gummies and powders. Whether you’re looking to support general wellness, support your immune system, or target specific health concerns, you’ll find a comprehensive range to choose from. 

What are multivitamins?

There are 13 essential vitamins needed for a healthy, functioning body. These vitamins can be found in a variety of fresh, frozen and canned foods and help the body develop strong bones, and a healthy immune system, regulate hormones and support general health and wellbeing. 

While the Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend obtaining nutrients from a balanced diet, multivitamins can play a supportive role, especially during times of deficiency or when dietary restrictions are present. Multivitamins are comprehensive supplements designed to deliver a balanced blend of vitamins and minerals, aiming to fill these nutritional gaps in our diet. This is particularly relevant for individuals with increased nutritional needs (such as pregnant or breastfeeding women) or those unable to meet their requirements through food alone.

What is the best multivitamin to take?

Here at Healthylife, we offer a substantial range of multivitamins. Some may help target specific health conditions and concerns. Choosing the best multivitamin to take depends on individual health needs, lifestyle and dietary restrictions. Selecting a multivitamin that aligns with your nutritional requirements is recommended, and consulting with a healthcare professional can provide personalised guidance.

Is it good to take a multivitamin every day?

Consistency can be beneficial, especially if you’re addressing a specific deficiency or are at risk of one. However, the key is balance and ensuring that supplementation complements a healthy diet rather than replaces it.

Do multivitamins work?

While many people take multivitamins intending to achieve their health goals, the evidence supporting their ability to deliver particular health benefits – such as protecting the brain or heart – is limited. It’s important to approach multivitamin use with a balanced perspective, recognising that while they can help fill nutritional gaps, they’re not a cure-all solution and should complement, not replace, a healthy diet.
