Our honest take

The capsule version of Olimp's Vita-Min Multiple Sport, a sports multivitamin and mineral at a modest price. We could not confirm the full label amounts or how many capsules make a daily dose, so check the vitamin B6 and iron levels on the pack. Training does not by itself raise vitamin needs much, and most active people with a good diet do not need a multivitamin.

  • You train regularly and your diet is limited
  • You want a sports multivitamin at a fair price
  • You eat a varied diet: you may not need a multivitamin
  • You already take other vitamin or mineral supplements: check you are not doubling up
  • You are pregnant or take regular medication: speak to your GP or pharmacist first
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.
