Our honest take

One tablet a day covers most vitamins and minerals at 100 to 370% of the NRV, including 10 µg vitamin D, 400 µg folic acid, 17 mg iron and 15 mg zinc, and a pot of 100 is cheap per day. The B6 (3 mg) is comfortably within FSA advice. Two figures need care: vitamin A is 1,650 µg (206% NRV), above the 1,500 µg a day UK guidance from food and supplements together and not suitable in pregnancy if it is retinol; and 17 mg of iron is more than most men and post-menopausal women need. A good-value option for women with periods; others may prefer an iron-free multi.

You want a low-cost, one-a-day multivitamin
You eat a limited diet and want a general backup
You are pregnant or trying to conceive: the vitamin A level is too high, choose a pregnancy multivitamin
You are a man or post-menopausal woman and a doctor has not advised iron
You eat liver or take fish liver oil regularly (more vitamin A)

The science

Multivitamin and mineral· evidence: Limited

A multivitamin puts a spread of vitamins and minerals into one daily dose. If you eat a varied diet, large studies and reviews have not found that a daily multivitamin makes healthy adults live longer or stay healthier, so most people do not need one.

They can be useful for filling specific gaps: people on restrictive diets, vegans (who need a reliable source of vitamin B12), older adults who eat less, and anyone in the UK who wants the 10 µg of vitamin D the NHS advises in autumn and winter. Pregnancy needs its own product with 400 µg of folic acid and no retinol.

Check the label rather than the front of the pack. Some products are well balanced at around 100% of the reference intake; others use very high doses of a few nutrients (for example vitamin B6 over 10 mg) or give only token amounts of minerals. More is not better.

Authorised health claim
Claims only apply to a product that gives at least 15% of the NRV of that nutrient per daily dose. Typical authorised claims for nutrients found in multivitamins are:

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Typical dose: One daily dose providing around 100% of the NRV for most vitamins; no need for mega-doses

Safety: Add up what you get from all your supplements. UK advice: no more than 10 mg a day of vitamin B6 from supplements long term; no more than 25 mg of zinc; no more than 1.5 mg of vitamin A from food and supplements, and avoid retinol (vitamin A) supplements in pregnancy; no more than 100 µg of vitamin D without medical advice. Iron is rarely needed by men or post-menopausal women, and iron overdose is dangerous to young children. Talk to your GP if you take warfarin (vitamin K) or other regular medicines. Biotin can distort some blood test results.
