Vitamins & Minerals

These formulas combine multiple vitamins with minerals such as zinc, selenium, iron, calcium, magnesium, iodine or copper. They are available as once-daily tablets, capsules, gummies, powders and liquids, with formulations created for different ages, sexes, diets and stages of life. There is no standard ingredient list for multivitamin-and-mineral products, so compare the amount of every nutrient rather than relying on the front label. Check whether iron is included, note that basic formulas may provide relatively small amounts of calcium and magnesium, and avoid exceeding upper intake levels when combining supplements with fortified foods. People taking warfarin should check products containing vitamin K with their healthcare provider.
