As a naturopath, I always recommend my patients to prioritise a healthy, balanced wholefood diet. But, considering the large amount of Australian’s who are on the “meat and three veg diet”, adding a multivitamin to your daily routine can be a useful way to fill an identified nutrition gap that is not being met by the intake of food.

As we know, male and female bodies are different. This means they have different needs and require varying nutrients. Due to the hormonal changes associated with menstruation, calcium, iron, and folate are of special importance for women. Whereas men typically require higher amounts of vitamins A, B, E, K, and zinc because of their larger body size. Plus, testosterone is the most important sex hormone for men, which requires a number of certain vitamins for its function. As such, there are particular vitamins that men may need to pay more attention to than women, and the best multivitamin for men would account for these variations.

What to look for in a supplement

Before purchasing a multivitamin, always speak with your health professional to identify which nutrients your diet is lacking. This is important, as more is not always better. Excessive amounts of certain vitamins can do more harm than good. It’s also recommended to check the RDI (recommended daily intakes) to make sure they contain enough of a certain vitamin, and to make sure you are taking the correct amount. One of the advantages of finding a good multivitamin, is that it will provide a large majority of your daily requirements, which reduces the need to use further supplements.
