Women's Multivitamins

These formulas combine several vitamins and minerals in tablets, capsules, gummies, powders or liquids. Depending on the intended age and life stage, products may include different amounts of iron, folic acid, vitamin D, vitamin B12, iodine, calcium, zinc and other micronutrients. Compare the amount of every nutrient rather than choosing solely by the number of ingredients or the words on the front label. There is no standard multivitamin formula, and combining several supplements can result in excessive intake of nutrients such as iron, vitamin A, zinc or folic acid. A standard women’s formula should not automatically be substituted for a prenatal supplement during pregnancy.
