Best Men’s Multivitamin

Multivitamins are an effortless way to ease your way into supplements. They’re taken by about one-third of all adults and one-quarter of all children in the U.S., making them the most popular supplement by a long shot. And the reasons people take them are as varied and nuanced as the individuals themselves:

• Age is starting to get to them.
• They’ve given up on yet another dietary makeover.
• They’ve decided to commit to their health.

Or maybe they’re just not feeling as good as they used to. But no matter the reason, a multivitamin is one of the best places to start trying supplements.

Men’s health has specific dietary requirements, whether or not they’re always apparent. These requirements become even more notable as you age, when your body might not work as well as it used to. With such particular health needs and mounting popularity comes a vast field with dozens of multivitamins explicitly formulated for men.

We’ve done the research and picked out seven of the best multivitamins for men. In this guide, we’ll take a look at their safety, ingredient profiles, cost, and more.

If you don’t have time to get into the details just yet, check out our top picks below.

Cost

Winner: MegaFood

The sticker price of a multivitamin can often point us toward the supplement with the lowest cost. However, finding out its true value is another story. When we consider a multivitamin’s cost, we look at things like the number of servings per container, discounts and savings options, subscription programs and bulk deals, and, of course, whether or not the product works.

MegaFood’s Multi for Men was our top pick for cost. At first glance, it has one of the higher prices at $29.97 per bottle. However, it’s one of our only choices with more than 30 days’ worth of servings. Every bottle contains 60 servings, effectively cutting the cost in half. Since one serving is two tablets, if you try them and decide two tablets is too strong for you, cutting back to one pill a day means that one bottle will last you a very long time.

Ingredients

Winner: Ritual

A multivitamin needs to balance providing the essential vitamins and minerals without an overstuffed formula with fillers and ingredients that just don’t work. Any extras a manufacturer chooses to include should be high-quality and added with a clear purpose. But many multivitamins don’t cite what ingredients they include, let alone where they come from.

Ritual’s Essential for Men Multivitamin 18+ doesn’t have all of the common ingredients you’re used to seeing in a multivitamin. In fact, they leave out four of the big ones — vitamin C, calcium, copper, and selenium — on purpose as the average American gets at least as much as they need through diet alone. Their supplement is designed to give your diet a boost, not to replace it altogether.

Ritual’s ingredients are extremely high-quality, with full transparency around where they come from and how they’re gathered. (Their magnesium is from Ogden, Utah, and their vitamin K2 is from Oslo, Norway, for example.) They even funded a scientific study that showed their sparse formulas demonstrably improve vitamin D and DHA (omega-3) levels over the placebo effect.

Safety

Winner: OLLY

If you’re taking a multivitamin to improve your health or give you the buffer room to feel good on your worst days, it’s essential to ensure the multivitamin itself is safe. We look for independent third-party testing, certifications like good manufacturing processes (GMP or cGMP) and USP verification, and transparency around ingredients, sourcing, and supply chains. It’s also important to ensure that all elements are present at safe levels and that there are no apparent contraindications between ingredients.

All our favorite multivitamins are safe, and most go above and beyond with NSF certification (meaning they’re regularly tested by top-notch independent laboratories and comply with numerous safety and manufacturing standards). More than one are Certified B-Corps, ensuring they’re safe for everyone and the planet. However, OLLY ultimately won our safety score as they are a Certified B-Corp with NSF certification, made in an FDA-registered cGMP-certified facility, and are regularly tested using more than one independent third party. Every lot of OLLY vitamins comes with a certificate of analysis, which is relatively easy to access. OLLY’s Perfect Men’s Multi doesn’t drown itself in excessive ingredients. Instead, it focuses on getting the right amount of essential nutrients to support your diet without a complete overhaul or flooding your body with vitamins it’ll just flush out.

Convenience

Winner: New Chapter

A convenient supplement doesn’t require a lot of extra steps to take. You won’t have to take up to four tablets a day, nor will you have to spread your serving out multiple times a day or take it exclusively with food. A supplement that works quickly and without much extra effort on your end makes it easier to keep up with the regiment, ensuring you’ll stick with it long enough to feel the effects.

New Chapter offers a multivitamin specifically formulated to be gentle on an empty stomach. You won’t have to sit down and take half an hour out of your busy morning to eat breakfast if you don’t want to, as its fermented ingredients can still be absorbed to the same extent within your stomach as its competitors do with food. Plus, you’ll only have to take one tablet a day to get the total reach of this multivitamin, so you can slip the bottle into your workout bag or glove box to take with you wherever you go.

To give you a better sense of our top picks, we’ve put together a chart that lays out their costs, values, and customer service bonuses, among other factors.

Multivitamins are a kind of supplement loaded with many vitamins and minerals for your general wellbeing. While other supplements are precise in what they offer, such as one specific vitamin (like fish oil) or a combination of a few ingredients that tackle a particular symptom or system (like nootropics), multivitamins cast a wide net. They’re designed to offset the nutritional damage of restricted diets, excess fast food, or recovery from bariatric surgery.

Some people take multivitamins because they know they don’t eat as well as they could. Others take them because they have vague symptoms related to deficiencies in one or more vitamins and don’t want to spend time and money trying individual supplements that might not work. Common symptoms of vitamin deficiencies include:

• Fatigue
• Dull hair
• Bad breath
• Pale skin

Others consider multivitamins “nutritional insurance,” working as a backup in case they have any natural deficiencies they aren’t aware of or that they might have as indicated by a DNA test.

Essential vitamins and minerals

Your body makes some vitamins naturally. Most, however, aren’t produced internally. These vitamins and minerals are called “essential” because we have to get them through our diet. If you aren’t eating a healthy, balanced diet, you’re likely deficient in at least one essential nutrient.

Essential vitamins include:

• A
• B1 (thiamin)
• B2 (riboflavin)
• B3 (niacin)
• B5 (pantothenic acid)
• B6 (pyridoxine)
• B7 (biotin)
• B9 (folate or folic acid)
• B12 (cobalamin)
• C
• D
• E
• K

Likewise, there are several minerals that you have to get through your diet.

A good multivitamin provides the daily recommended dose of most (if not all) essential nutrients. This ensures that no matter how many nutritionally deficient foods you eat, you’ll still be working with all the building blocks you need to function.

General or unisex multivitamins provide ample benefits for your health, so men can still take them and get a well-rounded boost of essential vitamins and minerals. However, a few sex-specific perks to men’s multivitamins are hard to pass up.

Men’s formulas side-step situations where women or children need more of certain vitamins and minerals. Pre-menopausal women, for example, need more iron than men to account for blood loss during menstruation, so men’s multivitamins have less iron than women’s. This ensures that you get the right amount of nutrients for your body.

Some ingredients are found in larger doses or are unique to men’s multivitamins.

Of course, these aren’t the only ingredients you’ll find in a multivitamin for men.

Formulas for older men

As we age, our nutritional needs change. Multivitamins designed for older men (often labeled “for those 50 and up”) are mindful of this shift and adjust their nutrient contents accordingly.

Below, we’ve put together a chart that breaks down the current daily recommended intake for essential nutrients from the National Institute of Health based on a man’s age.

Essentially, older men need more calcium and vitamin D (to prevent and offset bone deterioration) and potassium (to support heart health) than their younger counterparts. Some also suggest decreasing your daily sodium intake since too much sodium can raise your blood pressure and increase your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Multivitamins are well-tolerated by most people and have very few side effects. However, this doesn’t mean that everyone will have a flawless experience with multivitamins.

Many multivitamins currently on the shelves contain more than the recommended daily dose of at least one vitamin or mineral. This is typically fine for your health, but there are some exceptions. If you’re already taking a specialized vitamin (such as a B-complex) or eat a substantial amount of food rich in things like calcium, doubling up with a multivitamin can have less-than-pleasant effects.

Vitamins are soluble either in water or fat. Water-soluble vitamins are flushed out with excess water in your system when they build up above necessary levels, which can sometimes turn your urine funky colors. This also means it’s almost impossible to build up in your system and cause harm.

Fat-soluble vitamins, however, are not flushed out in the same way that water-soluble vitamins are. Because they bind to fat, these vitamins can build up in your system over time when taken in excess, eventually leading to a vitamin overdose. This is a relatively rare experience but is most likely to happen when taking a multivitamin alone or a multivitamin and specialized supplement together.

There are four fat-soluble vitamins:

• A
• D
• E
• K

Folic acid (B9) isn’t fat-soluble but is easy to take too much of over time. If you notice gastrointestinal problems that linger beyond the first few weeks of a new multivitamin or find yourself cramping and irritable, stop taking the supplement and contact your doctor. Unfortunately, symptoms of not having enough folate and having too much folate are nearly identical, so reach out to a medical professional for advice.

You should also know the precise upper limits for three other essential nutrients:

• Don’t take more than 4,000IU (1,000mg) of Vitamin D per day, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
• Don’t take more than 2,000mg of calcium daily.
• Do your best to stay under 2,300mg of sodium daily, including salt in processed and prepared food. That’s the equivalent of about one teaspoon of salt a day.

Gummy multivitamins

Swallowing a capsule isn’t always an option. Gummy multivitamins provide the opportunity to avoid the difficulty of swallowing several large pills while also giving yourself a little treat. Their candy-like nature can entice even the most stubborn into taking a multivitamin. However, they’re significantly less effective (and healthy) than capsule or tablet multivitamins.

Gummy multivitamins have higher doses of almost every vitamin per serving. The gelatinous mix is challenging for our bodies to digest, so we ultimately get less out of these multivitamins than if they were in capsule or tablet form. Manufacturers know this, so the amount of each essential vitamin they put into each gummy skyrockets. That said, there’s no way of telling exactly how much you’re absorbing, so trying to calculate daily recommended doses is a headache at best. Plus, they’re much harder to find in vegetarian and vegan formulas since they are gelatin-based, and added sugar and flavorings are not the best choices for people with diabetes or those watching their sugar intake.

You can still get additional nutrients from gummy vitamins to round out your day. We’ll discuss OLLY’s gummy multivitamins for men later in the article and explain why we still consider them one of our top picks.

If you are in good health and eat a well-rounded diet, there's little to no evidence that taking a multivitamin will further improve your health. Though you should watch out for signs of vitamin overdose, taking more vitamins than you need won't necessarily be bad for your body, but there aren't many benefits. A 2018 meta-analysis of almost 20 giant studies showed no link between multivitamins and a decreased risk of stroke, heart attack, or heart disease. They also won't reduce your risk of cancer, but a study presented at a conference in late 2021 showed that multivitamins might help slow the rate of cognitive decline.

Women, teenagers, and children should avoid multivitamins made for adult men. There are dozens of other great multivitamin options for these demographics that are more attuned to their body's needs. Pregnant and lactating people should also avoid men's multivitamins, as they may contain additional ingredients that could harm the fetus or baby.

Men's multivitamins should be taken by men who are:

• Lacking in some nutrients through dietary choices (including those on low-calorie diets)
• Recovering from bariatric surgery
• Aging

Best overall and best vegan

Ritual takes a food-first approach to their supplementation. They don’t offer anything in their multivitamins that most Americans already get — or should be getting — through their diet. Four common ingredients are missing:

• Vitamin C
• Calcium
• Copper
• Selenium

These ingredients are ones that most Americans already get enough of in their daily diets. Adding them to a multivitamin is almost always overkill, and when evidence is conflicting on whether or not selenium is good for you, erring on the side of caution is a smart move. Despite lacking these four ingredients, Essential for Men Multivitamin 18+ still contains most essential nutrients (and a few non-essential):

• Vitamin A (180mcg)
• Vegan vitamin D3 (50mcg)
• Vegan vitamin E (6.7mg)
• Folate (200mcg)
• Vitamin B12 (8mcg)
• Magnesium (30mg)
• Zinc (2.4mg)
• Boron (0.7mg)
• Vegan omega-3 DHA (330mg)
• Vitamin K (90mcg)

These doses are relatively low for a mainstream multivitamin (but are still close to recommended daily intakes). However, it does add omega-3 DHA, a fatty acid that’s exceptionally good for your heart and can be challenging to get enough of if you don’t regularly eat fish. Between these lower-than-average doses and a few missing ingredients, it would make sense to question whether or not this supplement will work for you. Rest assured, Ritual isn’t our top choice for no reason.

Ritual commissioned a study on their female multivitamin counterpart, Essential for Women 18+, published in a prestigious nutrition journal in July 2021. This study found that Essential for Women 18+ raised women’s vitamin D and omega-3 DHA by 43% and 41% in 12 weeks. This increase was significantly stronger than the placebo’s performance. While the two formulas are slightly different, since Ritual uses all the same ingredients across formulas, these results likely carry over to Essential for Men 18+.

This study is incredibly promising, showing that lower-dose supplements likely work just as well (if not better) than those jam-packed with ingredients. Their laser focus on nutrition is refreshing and promises they genuinely care about health, not just getting their products into your home (and your dollars into their wallets).

Each capsule is made with a delayed-release design, meaning it won’t dissolve immediately upon hitting your stomach. This is a big benefit — it won’t upset a sensitive stomach, and dissolving later in your intestinal tract ensures that every nutrient gets absorbed. Each capsule contains both solid beads and oil, so each vitamin or mineral is available in its easiest-to-digest form. Each bottle contains a small plastic tab coated in mint extract, so you don't have to consume any essential oils or artificial flavorings but still have a pleasant sensory experience. One serving is two capsules.

Every batch of supplements is third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and contaminants. It’s also tested in-house to verify that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in each capsule.

Pricing

Ritual’s products are only available as subscriptions. Once you check out, you’ll be sent a new bottle of Essential for Men 18+ multivitamins every 30 days. However, it’s easy enough to change the timing of a package or cancel your subscription from your account. If you want to try Ritual without committing to a full subscription, you can cancel as soon as your first bottle is ordered.

If you try Ritual’s Essential for Men 18+ and dislike the slight minty flavor, have difficulty swallowing the capsules, or don’t feel like it’s working for you, Ritual offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. As long as you return a new product within 30 days after purchase, you’ll get a full refund (minus shipping costs). If you’re outside the 30-day window, you may still have a chance at a refund — but email customer service first.

One bottle costs $30. Unlike other subscription programs, Ritual doesn’t offer any savings for said subscription. However, if you bundle your package with at least one other Ritual product, you’ll automatically save $15. Luckily, Ritual has a range of products, including probiotics, protein powders, and prenatal vitamins, so you don’t have to get two months of multivitamins sent straight to your door every month.

Best budget pick

If you’re looking for a holistic way to eat more fruits and vegetables without having to trade your nightly bowl of chips for a bowl of salad, MegaFood has a multivitamin that may fit the bill: Multi for Men. All ingredients are directly derived from fruits, vegetables, grains, and natural yeasts, most of which are listed clearly in the supplement facts on every package.

Each serving of MegaFood’s Multi for Men has reasonably portioned doses of all essential vitamins and nutrients with a few bonuses. It also includes:

• GTF Chromium (120mcg)
• Molybdenum (55mcg)
• Vitamin K1 and K2 (120mcg and 40mcg, respectively)

One serving of Multi for Men is only two tablets, which are easy to swallow and can be taken at any time.

This multivitamin uses fermentation (through brown rice and brewer’s yeast) to make it easy for sensitive and empty stomachs to digest. Since fermentation breaks down some tough enzymes in fruits and vegetables, it makes it easier for our stomachs to finish the job. Fermentation also is linked to higher gut microbiome diversity as a potent probiotic and, consequently, a slightly improved immune response. However, fermentation isn’t suitable for everyone: pregnant people, immunocompromised people, and those with stomach conditions should be cautious, as fermented foods are also full of histamines, the neurotransmitters that initiate an immune response (often in the form of an allergic reaction).

MegaFood is a Certified B-Corp dedicated to full transparency. They have four areas that set them apart: farm partners, commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and social responsibility. And while it’s all important, their commitment to quality directly impacts you the most. MegaFood’s products are all independently third-party tested and are non-GMO, USDA Organic, glyphosate (commercial pesticide) residue-free, vegan, and kosher. Plus, all formulas are created by a doctor with expert proficiency in dietary supplementation.

Pricing

Multi for Men is one of the few products on our list that you can purchase in more than one size. You can buy it in 30- or 60-day increments at the following prices:

• $29.97 (30 days)
• $57.87 (60 days)

Shipping is free for all orders.

Theoretically, MegaFood also offers a flexible subscription program where you can pick the days you want your packages delivered, and it’ll automatically refill and ship directly to your door with an additional 15% off every purchase. However, Multi for Men isn’t eligible for this subscription program. We hope this changes in the future, but keep an eye on their website for more information.

MegaFood does have a robust rewards program. This points-based program gives you one point for every dollar you spend (as well as bonus points for things like following MegaFood on social media and leaving reviews), and every 100 points you earn gives you a $5 off coupon. It isn’t the best deal out there, but it’s still a relatively significant rewards program in a field that doesn’t often use them.

If you try Multi for Men and decide it isn’t the right multivitamin, you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, whether or not the bottle has been opened. Just call, email, or chat with customer service and give them both the item number and your order number to initiate a refund.

Best gummy

Eating healthy doesn’t have to taste bad. OLLY’s multivitamins for men — the Perfect Men’s Multi — are small gelatin-based gummies with a potent, sweet blackberry flavor and solid blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Every serving of OLLY’s Perfect Men’s Multi contains:

• Vitamin A (450mcg)
• Vitamin B1 (0.30mg)
• Vitamin B2 (0.33mg)
• Vitamin B3 (8mg)
• Vitamin B6 (3.4mg)
• Vitamin B7 (30mcg)
• Vitamin B9 (180mcg)
• Vitamin B12 (9mcg)
• Vitamin C (75mg)
• Vitamin D (20mcg or 800IU)
• Vitamin E (15mg)
• Pantothenic acid (5mg)
• Iodine (75mcg)
• Zinc (5mg)
• Selenium (27.5mcg)
• Chromium (17.5mcg)
• Coenzyme Q-10 (5mg)

These gummies are blackberry flavored (labeled Blackberry Blitz) with beet sugar, citric and lactic acid, blackberry juice concentrate, and other natural flavors.

Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that your body naturally makes and is present in every cell. It’s often recommended for supporting neurodegenerative diseases, heart failure, and fibromyalgia, among other conditions. There is still research being done, but some studies suggest it might reduce symptoms in those with moderate-to-severe heart failure. Adding it to a multivitamin could boost your natural levels, improving your cardiovascular health and lowering general inflammation.

Most notably, the Perfect Men’s Multi contains high levels of B12. Most of our testers found that their energy levels increased while taking OLLY regularly, likely due to these high B12 levels.

OLLY’s Perfect Men’s Multi is a gummy vitamin, which means that, while they have a very clean and straightforward formula, they aren’t likely to be absorbed entirely by your body. So while these doses align with the recommended daily intake, you must still eat healthy to ensure you get all the nutrients you need. However, if a gummy vitamin is the only way you (or your husband, brother, or son) will take a multivitamin, getting some vitamins is better than no vitamins.

OLLY is serious about caring for your health through rigorous testing, environmental care, and solid formulas. They are a Certified B-Corp, meaning they meet exceedingly high standards in production, testing, and overall quality with a backbone of social and environmental good. All OLLY products are also NSF-certified, indicating an independent third party regularly and rigorously tests them.

Pricing

One container of OLLY’s multivitamin gummies costs $13.99, which is a steal considering it holds 45 servings (90 gummies). You can also purchase a pouch with 60 servings (120 gummies) for $15.99. These gummies can also be part of a subscription program, shipping two containers once a quarter (every three months). Below, we’ve put together a chart so you can compare the sticker and subscription prices of both size options.

Shipping is free through OLLY’s site on orders over $59. Otherwise, shipping costs $6.99 and gets to you in two days.

Not interested in paying for shipping? OLLY is available in a huge range of brick-and-mortar stores, including:

You can also buy OLLY online through Amazon. If you aren’t happy with the order you’ve placed through OLLY’s website, you can send it back for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Best for older men

Garden of Life provides raw, natural supplements closely aligned to the nutrients fruits and vegetables ideally add to our diets. All their ingredients are safely within standard limits, with a few excess water-soluble vitamins and common deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 and D. Their Vitamin Code 50 and Wiser Men’s multivitamin is one of the best options for older men because of this precision and natural care.

Its three proprietary blends are the most interesting ingredients in Vitamin Code 50 and Wiser Men’s multivitamin.

• Raw Organic Fruit & Vegetable Blend
• Raw Probiotic & Enzyme Blend
• Raw Antioxidant & Immune Support Complex

The Raw Organic Fruit & Vegetable Blend contains 546mg of 24 raw organic fruit and vegetable parts, from ginger root to asparagus flowers and stems. This allows you to get a few raw nutrients alongside concentrated ones derived from S. cerevisiae (brewer’s yeast) cultures. The antioxidant blend is not as impressive, providing only 10mg of glutathione and CoQ10.

Most importantly, the Raw Probiotic & Enzyme Blend is unique to Garden of Life’s multivitamins. A healthy digestive system allows us to properly absorb nutrients we ingest through food and supplements, so keeping your gut in top shape is a high priority. Several gut conditions like Crohn’s disease and celiac, as well as diverticulitis (which is more common in aging populations), can stop you from absorbing the nutrients you eat. Probiotics and digestive enzymes can help your body break food down and heal things like leaky gut. This multivitamin contains 13 digestive enzymes, from protease to bromelain and 500 million CFU of probiotics from two common Lactobacillus strains.

While Vitamin Code 50 and Wiser Men’s multivitamin is our top pick for the older crowd, there’s almost no difference between this formula and Garden of Life’s typical men’s multivitamin. The only things that set them apart are:

• CoQ10’s inclusion in the standard multivitamin (it’s part of the Raw Antioxidant & Immune Support Complex blend in the 50+ version)
• 30mg more vitamin D in the 50+ formula
• 14mg less Raw Organic Fruit & Vegetable blend in the 50+ formula

If you want to prioritize heart health and don’t mind getting a little less vitamin D, you can easily trade this out for the standard men’s multivitamin. Of course, the two formulas have identical costs, so the decision is up to you.

You’ll need to take four capsules daily for one serving of Vitamin Code 50 and Wiser Men’s multivitamin. You can split this into two two-capsule servings, but it’s still a considerable amount to take. Garden of Life suggests that you open each capsule and add it to water or juice to make taking them easier (though you should be careful not to spill). It doesn’t always mix well, so our testers found that using less-acidic juice worked best.

Garden of Life is a certified B-Corp and a certified carbon neutral organization. Their products are always tested and certified by a third party, guaranteeing their safety.

Pricing

Garden of Life offers the Vitamin Code 50 and Wiser Men’s multivitamin in two different sizes: 120-count (30 servings) and 240-count (60 servings). They cost $36.79 and $65.59 respectively. Shipping is free on all orders over $25, and there isn’t a subscription program within Garden of Life yet.

If you aren’t happy with your multivitamin, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund (minus the shipping cost). Just contact customer service first to get an RMA number; they won’t accept a return without one.

Best for athletes

Amino acids are vital for serious athletes to help gain muscle and keep energy up throughout long workouts. Most of the time, amino acids are taken as part of a pre-workout, protein drink, or other supplements. However, Huge Supplements’ Huge Multi includes amino acids like L-taurine in their multivitamin formula, so you can get that boost in one go.

The ingredient list is incredibly long and contains wildly large amounts of everything it provides. We won’t reprint the entire ingredient list, but some highlights include:

• 1mg of vitamin B12 (over 41,000% of the daily recommended dose)
• Both vitamin K1 and K2
• Ginger and pine bark extracts
• L-taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid
• Alpha lipoic acid (ALA)
• Bromelain
• CoQ10
• Black pepper extract, which helps other ingredients absorb better
• Lutein
• Lycopene for prostate health
• Inositol

Inositol is a fascinating ingredient to find on this list. It’s a kind of sugar made by your body that is similar to glucose and signals insulin production, helping to lower your average blood sugar. At one point, inositol was thought to be a B vitamin but has been declassified recently. It’s often used as a treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome and can decrease your overall testosterone levels (since too-high blood sugar can raise them over time). While there’s only a small dose (125mg) of inositol in each serving of Huge Multi, it still might not be safe for people with diabetes to use because of its effects on blood sugar. Reach out to your endocrinologist if you’re interested in trying Huge Multi to find out how it might work into your care plan first.

One serving of Huge Multi is four large capsules, which makes sense because of the sheer magnitude of these supplements. This can be a turn-off for some, but if you find that this multivitamin is too challenging to take at once, you can split the dose into two capsules twice a day (or, if it’s rough on your body, start small at one capsule twice a day and work your way up to two).

Huge’s products are all made in GMP-compliant and FDA-registered laboratories in the United States. They “guarantee premium quality” but have very few indicators of how, when, or by whom the product is tested.

Pricing

One bottle of Huge Multi contains 30 servings and costs $34.95. However, you can also join Huge’s subscription program, which sends you a new bottle monthly and drops your payments by 10% to $31.46. It’s easy to cancel or change your subscription, which is run through the third-party program Recharge.

Huge offers a slight discount to military members (including active duty, veterans, and dependents), first responders, and medical professionals. You’ll need to sign in with VerifyPass to confirm your identity, but once you do, you’ll get a coupon code you can use once. Re-confirm your military or first responder status before making future purchases, as that's the only way to get a new code.

Shipping costs vary depending on how much you’ve ordered and where you’re shipping to but generally costs about $5 for one bottle of Huge Multi through USPS First Class. However, you can unlock free shipping if you order at least $65.05 of other Huge products (totaling $100 or more).

Be aware that you only have 14 days from the time of purchase — closer to a week after the package has been delivered — to return your Huge Multi if you aren’t happy with it. All returns must also be unused and unopened and must be returned in the original packaging with a receipt.

New Chapter’s Every Man’s One Daily Multivitamin was designed with absorption in mind. Its nutrients are fermented for the best bioavailability possible. It includes all essential vitamins and minerals at appropriate daily doses (almost every single one exactly matching the recommended daily dose), as well as ginger, turmeric, and three proprietary blends.

Many of these ingredients don’t have a lot of clinical research to back up their use yet. Chamomile is a well-established anxiolytic, for example, but oregano doesn’t have as much research on its benefits in humans. Plus, we don’t know how much of each ingredient goes into each blend — but, likely, it’s not enough. This phenomenon is especially notable in the case of chamomile, which is often used at doses between 200 and 1,500mg for anxiety (and there’s only 45mg of the Stress and Energy Support Blend in one serving of these multivitamins).

Ultimately, while it’s still easy to take at any time of day and incredibly convenient with only one tablet, Every Man’s One Daily Multivitamin falls short because of these proprietary blends. If you’re looking for a fermented multivitamin you can take quickly and easily, you can still find a lot of success here.

New Chapter tests all of their products twice — once at an ingredient level and once as a complete blend. Most of their testing is done in-house. They are another Certified B-Corp on our list, with certified kosher and non-GMO vitamins. Their multivitamin is not vegan but is entirely vegetarian. New Chapter focuses on sustainability, from direct sourcing to minimizing their total plastic waste and carbon footprint, so you can feel good about feeling good.

Pricing

New Chapter offers the broadest range of sizes for their Every Man’s One Daily Multivitamin. You can choose from a bottle of 24 (a little more than three weeks’ worth) to 96 (almost 14 weeks’ worth) of multivitamins. They also offer a variable discount through their subscription program: when you subscribe to at least one product, you’ll save 15% on your order, but subscribing to four or more products saves you 20%. We’ve broken down the costs and saving potentials for each size below.

Shipping is free on orders over $50, so you could unlock free shipping only with a one-time order of a 96-count multivitamin. Otherwise, shipping costs a flat rate of $5.

If you aren’t happy with your order, you can get a full refund within 60 days of purchase. New Chapter won’t honor more than one refund per household per lifetime, so be cautious when placing your first order.

True Grace’s One Daily Men’s Multivitamin offers a well-rounded portion of all your essential daily vitamins and minerals, infrequently stepping over more than a recommended daily value (only for vitamin D3, E, B6, B12, and chromium). Their blend is full of well-constructed standards, but it has some unique ingredients:

• Inulin, a prebiotic fiber (25mg)
• Citrus bioflavonoids (10mg)
• Boron (500mcg)
• Lutein (500mcg)
• Lycopene (500mcg)
• Organic Mushroom Blend, containing fruiting body extracts of cordyceps, maitake, reishi, and turkey tail mushrooms (250mg)
• Regenerative and Organic Adaptogen Blend, containing ashwagandha and holy basil powder (100mg)

While the Organic Mushroom Blend is a nice touch, given the current boom in research on how fungi affect our health, it’s almost certainly not enough to make a difference. Some clinical studies have shown that it takes about 4g of cordyceps mushrooms alone to see health benefits. The blend contains extracts, which are more concentrated than just eating the mushrooms straight, but 250mg is a drop in the bucket.

The Regenerative and Organic Adaptogen Blend falls prey to the same problem, though not as dramatically. Recent studies show that ashwagandha doses as low as 250mg can have relaxing effects, but the blend only contains 100mg of ashwagandha and holy basil powder. Because it comes in a proprietary blend, there’s no way of knowing how much of that 100mg is basil and how much of it is ashwagandha.

All of the major vitamins and minerals in One Daily Men’s Multivitamins come from fermented media, allowing your body to absorb it faster since part of its work is already done.

True Grace performs extensive third-party testing on all of their products. While they aren’t NSF-certified for testing quality, they have B-Corp certification pending. They also prioritize giving back to local nonprofits focused on healthy food access and are completely carbon neutral.

Pricing

True Grace offers their One Daily Men’s Multivitamin in several different size jars, as well as a 90-day refill packet.

There isn’t a big savings difference between a new 90-count bottle and a 90-count refill packet, but the dollar or so you save goes along with the knowledge you’re helping to cut back on plastic waste. All subscriptions ship every 30, 60, or 90 days and are processed through Recharge for easy changing and canceling.

Shipping is free on orders over $59, but expect to pay $5.99 for standard shipping. If you don’t love your multivitamin within 30 days of purchase, whether or not you’ve opened the bottle, you can contact True Grace for a full refund. In most cases, you won’t have to send the product back, but make sure you have your receipt on hand when you call or email customer service.

You can try other supplements and treatments, but if you’re worried about your testosterone levels dropping, reach out to your doctor first. They’ll have tests for you to take to find out if it’s truly low testosterone or something else.
