Best Multivitamin for Women

We’ve all heard about the importance of a well-balanced diet, but good nutrition does more than just lower your risk of chronic health conditions and ward off fatigue; it also provides your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to function properly.1 2 Unfortunately, it’s often easier said than done to get your recommended intakes from healthy foods. This is where multivitamins can come into play, as a way to easily increase essential nutrient intakes.

If you’re a woman or someone assigned female at birth (AFAB), your unique needs may not always be met by a general multivitamin. From additional folate and iron to other ingredients meant to relieve menopause symptoms, women’s multivitamins are formulated with your body in mind.

To help you find the right multivitamin, we researched and scoured the competitive landscape to find the nine best options on the market. In our guide, we cover the research behind multivitamins and detail our top picks’ effectiveness, safety, cost, and more.

If you’re in a hurry, check out our summary of recommendations below.

Over the past two decades, Innerbody Research has helped tens of millions of readers make more informed decisions involving staying healthy and living healthier lifestyles.

For our guide to the best multivitamins for women, we spent over 70 hours reading through dozens of scientific studies, journals, trials, and other academic information on vitamins, minerals, herbal ingredients, and general women’s health. Our team also purchased and tried numerous multivitamins, including those in this guide, to provide you with detailed information that could only be gained from firsthand experience.

Additionally, like all health-related content on this website, this review was thoroughly vetted by one or more members of our Medical Review Board for accuracy.

When evaluating supplements, including women’s multivitamins, we often keep a set of key criteria in mind based on the most important factors for consumers. These include a supplement’s:

• Safety
• Effectiveness
• Cost
• Convenience

Let’s take a closer look at how our top picks performed in each category.

Safety

Winner: Ritual

Unlike prescription medications, the FDA doesn’t really get hands-on with regulating supplements (like multivitamins) unless consumers are at risk.3 Because of this, it’s important to investigate the safety measures taken by supplement manufacturers to protect their customers. This often involves things like third-party testing and obtaining certifications, among other things. The chart below breaks down some important safety details for each of our top picks.

Note: Some details in the chart pertain only to the products we chose; the companies may offer items that aren’t always allergen-free or vegetarian/vegan.

From this information, it becomes clear that all of our picks should be generally safe for most healthy adults. However, Ritual goes the extra mile by making all of its ingredients traceable; you can easily access details on the origin and manufacturing location of each ingredient in your supplement. This is a fairly unique aspect of Ritual, one that puts it above the rest when it comes to transparency and, ultimately, safety.

Similarly, FullWell's safety testing results (for heavy metals, allergens, microbes, and other contaminants) are available on its website, and you can email customer service to see the results from other batch numbers. Even though the individual ingredients aren’t traceable like with Ritual, this is still a nice display of transparency.

Effectiveness

Winner: Viome Precision Supplements

While all of our top picks should be effective in helping you get additional nutrients, Viome is unique in that it’s customizable to your needs based on at-home testing. The Full Body Intelligence Test (which requires samples of your blood, stool, and saliva) provides Viome with the health information required to formulate your personalized daily supplement. The company uses data from clinical trials to help determine how much of a particular ingredient you may need, depending on the scores from your test. And after a year of taking Viome Precision Supplements, you’ll receive another test kit (for free) to make sure your supplement evolves along with your body.

But, as explained by a member of our medical review board, Dr. Matt Segar, MD, “No peer-reviewed outcomes data show that Viome’s RNA-guided supplement improves biomarkers or clinical endpoints. Relying on the company’s internal algorithms is not equivalent to published evidence.” This means that, even though Viome’s supplements are more personalized than a one-size-fits-all vitamin, there’s currently no published, peer-reviewed research investigating their efficacy. So, as with other supplements, your results may vary. But Viome should still give you better odds of seeing results due to its customization.

Ritual comes in a close second for effectiveness. The company’s Essential for Women Multivitamin 18+ successfully increased patients’ levels of serum nutrient repletion in a 2021 placebo-controlled study.4 However, even though this result is promising, there aren’t any details on whether or not this increase actually improved subjects’ health outcomes.

Nonetheless, as noted in the study, American women are one of the most at-risk groups for vitamin deficiency or anemia, and some of the nutrients with the highest inadequacies are vitamin D, vitamin E, iron, and omega-3s.4 5 Ritual’s multivitamins provide all four of those nutrients (along with a handful of other important ones, such as folate and magnesium).

Outside of our picks that have been directly studied, FullWell Women’s Multivitamin contains well-dosed vitamins, minerals, and other supplemental ingredients that may support your overall health and wellness. For example, each dose gives you 10mg of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a daily dose that, according to the findings of a 2021 review, reduced biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in college-age human subjects, and other studies have found that doses ranging from 10mg to 20mg may lead to improvements in cognitive function and memory.28 And other ingredients, like vitamin K2 (included in two different forms totaling 590mcg), may help support bone health as you age.57

Cost

Winner: Nature Made Multi For Her Tablets

Nature Made Multi For Her Tablets takes the crown for cost due to having one of the lowest up-front costs of our top picks, along with the lowest cost per serving and additional savings available via subscription.

The chart below breaks down the pricing details of our top picks.

Our least expensive picks are from Nature Made and HUM. However, HUM gives you fewer servings per bottle than Nature Made while simultaneously costing more. When it comes to returns, only Viome doesn’t accept them. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Thorne stands out as the only one of our picks with a 60-day guarantee (all of the others have 30-day policies).

Convenience

Winner: SmartyPants Women's Multi & Omegas

Generally, the convenience of a multivitamin often comes down to its delivery method (pills, liquid, gummies) and how much of it you need to take. We chose SmartyPants for convenience, mainly due to its gummy form, which can be more accessible to those who have a hard time swallowing pills. Tropical Oasis could also be a convenient option, but the large bottle the liquid vitamin comes in requires refrigeration — meaning it takes up a fair bit of fridge space.

A dose of SmartyPants is three gummies, and unlike a tablet or capsule, these vitamins can be taken at any time, whether or not you have a drink nearby. You also don’t have to measure out a specific quantity of liquid, like you have to do with Tropical Oasis.

If you can swallow a pill without issue and don’t mind needing to have a drink on hand to take a vitamin, then a majority of our picks should be similarly convenient. The only two that stand out as potentially inconvenient are Viome’s Precision Supplements and Thorne’s Multivitamin Elite. While most of our pill-based picks only require you to take one or two — maybe three — per day, these two options instruct you to take half a dozen or more capsules daily (Thorne’s vitamin is six pills, and Viome’s is eight).

The chart below offers a quick overview of how our top nine women’s multivitamin picks compare in several key areas, such as pricing, serving size, flavor (if applicable), and more.

According to Dr. Eve Glazier, MD, and Dr. Elizabeth Ko, MD, from UCLA Health, if you eat a balanced diet consisting of whole grains, various vegetables and fruits, lean protein, and dairy, then you likely don’t need a multivitamin.6

But if you don’t eat a balanced diet — like around half of all American adults — a multivitamin could act as a sort of “insurance plan” to make up for any nutrient deficits.27 And there are other cases in which a multivitamin is ideal or even essential, such as:6

• Pregnancy: Those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant require more of certain nutrients, like folate, than the average adult.
• Restricted diets: Vegetarians or vegans often require additional B12, zinc, iron, and calcium.
• Chronic health conditions: Individuals with certain conditions, like iron deficiency anemia or malabsorption, may need to take a daily multivitamin to ensure adequate nutrition.
• Medical procedures: People who have had gastric bypass surgery could require a multivitamin to maintain proper health.

It’s worth mentioning that those with certain medical conditions — kidney disease, for example — may need to avoid supplementing with certain vitamins or minerals.7 Because of the potential for unknown risks or interactions, we always recommend speaking with your doctor before starting a new supplement.

Who should look elsewhere for support?

In some cases, you may need more assistance with a health concern than what a typical multivitamin can offer. Some examples include:

• Menopause symptoms: If your menopause symptoms are particularly severe or bothersome, you may be better served by a prescription solution, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We cover the details of our favorite telehealth services for menopause in the “Alternatives to women’s multivitamins” section later on.
• Digestive issues: While some vitamins can help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, a multivitamin might not always be the solution to your digestive concerns.8 In some cases, a different supplement — like a probiotic — may be ideal, or you could require a prescription from your doctor, depending on what your symptoms are.
• Other health concerns: Though deficiencies or inadequacies of essential vitamins and minerals can lead to numerous health effects, they’re not always the root cause of what you may be experiencing. This is why it’s important to work with your doctor and have proper testing done to ensure you receive the help you need. For instance, an iron deficiency may lead to brittle nails, but so can thyroid disease.9 10

While maintaining an adequate intake of all the essential vitamins and minerals is important for your health and well-being, for women assigned female at birth (AFAB), there are a handful of specific ones that they need more of to stay healthy at different life stages. These include:11

• Folic acid or folate (vitamin B9)
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin D
• Calcium
• Iron

Let’s go over which groups of women these vitamins and minerals are most important for and why.

When taken as indicated by the manufacturer, multivitamins should be safe for most healthy people. Of course, we always recommend asking your doctor before starting any new supplement, including multivitamins. It may be surprising, but some medical conditions can actually be adversely affected by certain vitamins or minerals. For instance, people with kidney disease might need to avoid or limit supplementing vitamins A, E, K, and C, as their condition can lead to the vitamins building up in the body, resulting in health complications.7

It’s also worth noting that even perfectly healthy people can be injured by multivitamins, especially when a multivitamin contains doses of nutrients far exceeding 100% of the recommended Daily Value (DV). However, while many of our top picks do include some vitamins and minerals above 100% DV, none of them cross the line into truly dangerous territory.

For example, Thorne’s Multi-Vitamin Elite and Ritual’s Essential for Women Multivitamin 18+ both have folate doses that hit the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) — the “maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects” as defined by the National Institutes of Health (1,000mcg).21 The most serious risk of a high folate dose is the masking of a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to permanent nerve damage.22 To mitigate this risk, both companies also include a hearty dose of vitamin B12.

Additionally, it’s very important to monitor the amount of vitamins and minerals you consume in your diet if you plan on starting a multivitamin supplement. If you, for example, regularly eat fortified foods — breakfast cereals, dairy products, juices, etc. — then you could be at risk of exceeding the UL of nutrients like vitamin A, iron, or folate, among others.

Usually, though, the side effects of multivitamins are mild and include things like digestive upset, headaches, or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. If you experience overdose symptoms, such as hair loss, tingling around the mouth, weight loss, severe pain, blood in your stool or urine, or easy bleeding, it’s recommended that you discontinue using the product and promptly seek medical attention.23

Other ingredients in multivitamins

Occasionally, as with a few of our top picks, vitamins and minerals aren’t the only ingredients included in a multivitamin. Most healthy adults shouldn’t experience serious issues with these additional — often botanical — ingredients if the supplement is taken as directed. However, some populations may be at risk from consuming certain ingredients, including (but not limited to):

• Curcumin (Thorne): Though curcumin may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anticancer, and other health-supporting properties, it may lead to abdominal pain, nausea, or diarrhea, especially if taken in large doses. And even though turmeric and curcumin supplements are classified as “generally recognized as safe” by the FDA, this doesn’t mean they’re FDA-approved — the agency still doesn’t regulate them.24 25
• Dong quai (Tropical Oasis): Pregnant individuals or those with hormone-related cancers should avoid dong quai, as it may act like estrogen in the body. This botanical can also interact with blood thinners, birth control, ACE inhibitors, and other medications.26
• Grape seed (FullWell): In addition to possible gastrointestinal upset, grape seed may interact with blood thinners and drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme. According to a 2024 review, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 metabolize up to 50% of known drugs.39 40

These potential risks are a good example of why it’s always important to consult your doctor before starting a new supplement.

Best multivitamin for most women and best prenatal vitamin

Ritual creates its multivitamins with the goal of only giving people what they need most in an attempt to avoid over-supplementation. As noted in the 2021 study conducted on Ritual’s Essential for Women 18+, some of the most common nutrients American women don’t get enough of are vitamin D, vitamin E, iron, and omega-3s.4 Both Ritual Essential for Women 18+ and Ritual Essential Prenatal contain:

The prenatal multivitamin also contains three additional ingredients that can benefit a pregnant person and their baby:

• Biotin: Research suggests that biotin deficiency during pregnancy may increase the risk of preterm labor or restricted fetal development.29 Some animal studies have even found that a biotin deficiency can be teratogenic (capable of causing birth defects or fetal abnormalities).30
• Choline: This essential nutrient is involved in crucial processes of fetal growth, such as brain development and neural tube formation. According to experts, it can also “enhance cognitive development” in the baby.31
• Iodine: During pregnancy, iodine requirements increase. This trace element is vital for the adequate production of both maternal and fetal thyroid hormones, which also support the proper development of the baby’s brain and nervous system.32

Pivoting to other ingredient details, we also appreciate the transparency behind Ritual’s supplements, as you can trace the origin and manufacturing details for each ingredient included in your multivitamin. The company has pages on its website dedicated to each supplement’s ingredient information, the various types of third-party testing it’s undergone, the certifications it has, and even what the packaging is made from.

Ritual multivitamin pricing

Previously, Ritual vitamins were only available on a subscription basis, meaning there weren’t any recurring delivery discounts, and you couldn’t purchase its products only a single time — unless you immediately canceled the subscription. (There was no penalty for doing so.) But the company has made some good changes in this regard, now offering both one-time and subscription options. The prices are as follows:

The company also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first purchase. So if you’re unsatisfied with your multivitamin, you can return it for a full refund within 30 days from the date you bought it. It’s worth noting that the “first purchase” part of the policy applies to entirely new customers or existing customers who have purchased a new Ritual product for the first time.

Competitors Thorne and Tropical Oasis also offer money-back guarantees, and Thorne’s guarantee period is 60 days, double that of the others.

Best custom multivitamin

Viome is a health and wellness brand specializing in at-home microbiome tests. The company also creates personalized products like toothpaste, lozenges, and supplements based on your test results. Out of our top picks, Viome is the only one that makes a daily supplement tailored to your personal needs. Using AI algorithms and clinical data, it creates a nutrient profile (containing around 50 ingredients) designed to benefit you the most.

The at-home test used for Viome’s Precision Supplements is called the Full Body Intelligence Test, which requires you to collect saliva, stool, and blood samples. After every 12 months of using your Viome supplement, the company sends you a new test to update your formula as needed.

In addition to your custom supplement data, the Full Body Intelligence Test gives you scores on things like your biological age, cognitive functioning, immune system stress response, microbiome, and more. It also provides you with information on which foods you may wish to avoid or get more of in your daily diet.

To learn more about Viome, check out our full review.

Viome Precision Supplements pricing

Right off the bat, it’s important to mention that Viome Precision Supplements are sold on a subscription basis, and you’re required to make a four-month commitment. You can’t pause, change, or cancel your subscription until after the four months have passed. This means that, while the supplement is technically $149 per month, you’ll be locked in to spend a minimum of $596 before you can cancel.

Additionally, the custom supplements are not eligible for refunds or returns. Along with SmartyPants, Viome is the only other one of our top picks without these options.

Best budget multivitamin

Nature Made is a widely recognized supplement manufacturer that you’ve more than likely seen on the shelves of your local grocery store or pharmacy. Because it’s such a large company, the selection of available supplements is also quite varied. In fact, there are actually four different types of pill-based women’s multivitamins available from Nature Made:

• Multi For Her 50+ softgels
• Multi For Her softgels
• Multi For Her 50+ tablets
• Multi For Her tablets

The only reason we opted for tablets over softgels is that the latter option has been out of stock since we began researching for this guide. However, while tablets are often thought of as being less bioavailable than softgels, Nature Made’s tablets are USP-verified. This means that they:33

• Will break down and dissolve in the body within a specified amount of time
• Contain the ingredients on the label in the correct potency
• Do not contain harmful levels of contaminants
• Are made according to FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices

So Nature Made’s Multi For Her tablets should still be just as effective as the softgel variety.

Nature Made Multi For Her pricing

As our best budget pick, Nature Made’s multivitamin for women is the most cost-effective product in this guide. One bottle of these tablets costs $13.59 (90 servings), and each single-tablet serving is only $0.15. The price via the company's Amazon store is often even less.

Nature Made also offers a 30-day return policy. It’s not a guarantee, but you can request a replacement or refund (minus $8 for return shipping) if you’re “not completely satisfied with your product.” Competitor HUM Nutrition also offers a 30-day return policy, but only for unopened items.

Best multivitamin for athletes

Thorne is a health and wellness company that specializes in supplements and at-home test kits. Part of Thorne’s various offerings is a collection of supplements that have been NSF Certified for Sport (meaning they’re tested to ensure they’re free of 200+ banned substances). These certified supplements range from collagen and magnesium to amino acids, whey protein, probiotics, and — of course — multivitamins.

While the company does offer a more basic multivitamin that’s also NSF Certified for Sport, we chose Multi-Vitamin Elite as our pick for athletes based on a few of its unique ingredients. Some of these include:

• Meriva (curcumin): In a 2014 placebo-controlled trial, Meriva showed potential for preventing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).34
• Green tea: Catechins, compounds found in green tea, are potent antioxidants that may protect the body against damage caused by oxidative stress.35
• Relora (magnolia and Phellodendron extract): In a 2013 study, Relora reduced subjects’ cortisol exposure and levels of perceived daily stress. It also lowered their fatigue and boosted their vigor (defined in the study as the opposite of burnout).36

Thorne Multi-Vitamin Elite pricing

This multivitamin from Thorne comes in two varieties:

• Multi-Vitamin Elite: $73.00
• Multi-Vitamin Elite - NSF Certified for Sport: $77.00

Ultimately, while it’s not nearly as expensive as Viome, Multi-Vitamin Elite is rather pricey when compared to other products on the market. And if you decide to subscribe to try and save 10% off your purchase, you won’t get that discount until subsequent deliveries. Subscription or not, you’ll be paying the full price for your first order.

However, Thorne does offer a generous 60-day money-back guarantee in the event that you’re unhappy with your purchase. While this guarantee isn’t only limited to your first purchase, Thorne does state that it has the right to deny refund requests at any time to prevent fraud or abuse of the policy.

Best women’s multivitamin for vegans

HUM Nutrition is a supplement company that pairs product subscribers with a registered dietitian who offers advice based on your concerns. Though the company’s supplements can be taken by people of any sex or gender, the main focus of the products — including its Base Control multivitamin — is women’s health.

Available with or without iron for those with sensitive stomachs, this multivitamin is our pick for vegans because of its high content of certain nutrients. Due to dietary restrictions, vegans and vegetarians often lack adequate amounts of vitamin B12, vitamin D, zinc, iron, iodine, and calcium.6 20 The only nutrient that doesn’t hit the mark in Base Control is calcium (it has only 8% of your DV), but all of the other aforementioned ones are available in amounts that should more than make up for what a plant-based diet may lack. The doses are:

• Vitamin B12: 15mcg (625%)
• Vitamin D: 10mcg (50%)
• Zinc: 15mg (136%)
• Iron: 18mg (100%)
• Iodine: 150mcg (100%)

Competitor Ritual’s multivitamins are also vegan, but they lack zinc and calcium, and the amounts of the above nutrients are also a bit lower. While Ritual’s doses could be plenty for someone not adhering to a plant-based diet, it may not be enough for those who do.

To learn more about HUM Nutrition, you can check out our in-depth review of the company.

HUM Base Control pricing

In the past, HUM Nutrition products were subscription-based, and they weren’t available as one-time purchases when bought directly from the company. Since then, the company has introduced the ability to purchase products as either subscriptions or one-time purchases. Here’s how the pricing works out:

• One-time purchase: $15.00
• Subscription: $12.00 (20% off)

If you take the quiz that pops up before checkout, you’ll earn a coupon for $10 off your first purchase, which reduces costs even further.

Like Nature Made, HUM has a 30-day return policy. Unfortunately, the company only accepts unopened products for returns, similar to FullWell.

Best women’s multivitamin for menopause support

FullWell is a wellness brand that started off with a heavy focus on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care. However, the company has since branched out to offer supplements for different areas of health and wellness, such as GLP-1 support and hormone balance. Our choice for this guide is the brand’s Women’s Multivitamin. Even though this product isn’t made with menopause in mind, it contains good doses of vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients that may support women going through the menopausal transition.

Some of the supportive ingredients that may help with menopause include, but aren’t limited to, the following:

• Grape seed (105mg): In a 2014 study, women aged 40-60 with “at least one menopausal symptom” were given either a daily placebo or one of two doses (100mg or 200mg) of polyphenol antioxidants extracted from grape seeds. Compared to a placebo, the grape seed extract was “effective in improving the physical and psychological symptoms of menopause.”42
• Boron (3mg): According to the findings of a 2020 review, 3mg per day of boron supplementation appears helpful in maintaining bone mineral density in humans. Additionally, a small, older study from 1999 found that 2.5mg of boron for 60 days reduced menopause-related “discomforts” in a portion of subjects.55 56
• Vitamin K2 (590mcg total): A 2022 review found that long-term vitamin K2 supplementation for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis may improve bone mineral density maintenance and reduce the incidence of fractures.57

Unfortunately, even though this multivitamin contains several ingredients that may support bone health in older women, the calcium content isn’t ideal. At only 50mg per dose (4% DV), you might need to ensure that your dietary calcium intake makes up for it. Calcium supplements may also be an option. Either way, it’s best to speak with your doctor about how much calcium you need.

FullWell Women’s Multivitamin pricing

Like most of our other picks in this guide, FullWell’s vitamin is available as either a one-time purchase or a subscription. Similar to Tropical Oasis and SmartyPants, different subscription intervals get you different discounts. Here’s how it works out:

• One-time purchase: $49.95
• One-month subscription (10% off): $44.96
• Three-month subscription (15% off): $127.36 ($42.45 per bottle)

Only the three-month subscription comes with free shipping; otherwise, orders need to meet the $134 threshold to ship without cost.

Like HUM, FullWell has a 30-day return policy but only accepts returns of unopened items. Because of this — and the higher price of this vitamin — we recommend being sure you want the product before purchasing it.

Best gummy multivitamin for women

SmartyPants, like Nature Made, is a brand you may have come across on the shelves of your local grocery store. Its Women's Multi & Omegas vitamin is our choice for the best gummy multivitamin for women due to its nutrient and omega-3 content, the latter of which many Americans lack in their daily diets.4

Similar to Ritual, SmartyPants gummies generally contain lower amounts of nutrients, which could technically make them safer due to the decreased risk of overdose. These vitamins are also the recipient of the Clean Label Project Purity Award, which means they have been tested for “chemicals of concern” and environmental toxins, like heavy metals and pesticides, and found to be free from them.

Perhaps the main drawback of these vitamins is that they contain gelatin and 3g of added sugar per serving. According to the American Heart Association, women should “consume no more than” 25g of added sugar per day.41 While 3g of added sugar is lower than this vitamin’s previous 6g, the sugar content is still worth keeping in mind.

SmartyPants Women’s Multi pricing

Recently, SmartyPants began selling its vitamins on its website. In the past, you could only find them on Amazon or in brick-and-mortar stores like Target. The current prices for this multivitamin when purchased directly are as follows:

• One-time purchase: $29.99
• Monthly delivery: $27.00 (10% off)
• Two-month delivery: $50.98 (15% off)
• Three-month delivery: $71.98 (20% off)

Subscriptions include free shipping, but the one-time purchase option requires an additional $6.99 for shipping. This means that the $29.99 listed on the website is actually $36.98 in total. Because of this, subscribing and canceling could be ideal if you only want one bottle.

Best liquid multivitamin for women

Tropical Oasis is a wellness company that focuses solely on liquid supplements. The company claims this is because liquids are more easily absorbed, and a 2022 study suggests that may be true.43 But other than that study, there hasn’t been much research comparing the absorption of liquid supplements to other forms. So, while Tropical Oasis’s claim may have some supporting evidence, far more research is needed before it can be confirmed (or denied). Nonetheless, liquid supplements can be a good alternative for those who have difficulty swallowing pills or chewing gummies.

When it comes to what’s in this multivitamin, it contains around 100% or more of the recommended DV for multiple micronutrients, including:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin E
• Thiamin (vitamin B1)
• Riboflavin (vitamin B2)
• Niacin (vitamin B3)
• Vitamin B6
• Folic acid
• Vitamin B12
• Biotin
• Pantothenic acid

Other vitamins and minerals are included, too, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, selenium, and chromium, but they’re dosed lower than the aforementioned ones.

While we appreciate the vitamin and mineral content of this liquid multivitamin, the supplement’s additional proprietary blends are what make it stand out. Let’s review some of the ingredients.

Tropical Oasis Women's Liquid Multivitamin pricing

Pricing for Tropical Oasis Women's Liquid Multivitamin is pretty straightforward in that you can either make a one-time purchase or subscribe, but the subscription discount changes based on the delivery frequency. Here’s how it works out:

• One-time purchase: $37.95
• One-month subscription (25% off): $28.46
• Two-month subscription (20% off): $30.36

We rarely, if ever, see companies offer different subscription discounts based on a person’s ideal delivery interval. We’ve seen higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of product and those that change over time (like with Thorne).

The 25% discount you get from subscribing to Tropical Oasis is the highest among our top picks, followed closely by the discount from HUM Nutrition’s VIP tier subscription (20%). The company also offers a 30-day “100% satisfaction” money-back guarantee.

If multivitamins don’t quite seem like what you’re looking for, a variety of alternative solutions might better suit your needs. In this section, we cover a few different options.

Other supplements

Depending on your concerns, there are multiple other supplement options available on the market that may help:

• For anxiety: Ashwagandha has shown promise in multiple studies as an herbal supplement that can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.50
• For cognitive difficulties: Nootropics, or “smart drugs,” are supplements that may protect the brain and help with a myriad of cognitive concerns. These include issues with memory recall, learning ability, attention, mood, and more.
• For hormone balance: Diindolylmethane, or DIM, is a substance found in cruciferous vegetables that, when supplemented, may be able to boost estrogen metabolism.37 And other supplements contain ingredients, like inositol or 5-HTP, that might relieve symptoms of specific hormone balance concerns, such as PCOS.
• For better sleep: Supplements like CBD, cannabinol (CBN), and Amanita muscaria gummies may promote feelings of calm and sleepiness.

Prescription menopause support

If menopause symptoms are your biggest concern, and vitamins and supplements don’t quite cut it, then a prescription product may be an ideal solution. Two of our favorite online services for menopause prescriptions are Musely and Winona.

• Musely is a telehealth provider that offers prescription products for a wide range of dermatology concerns and conditions. It’s one of the only dermatology services we’ve come across that has a section of products dedicated to menopausal concerns, such as loss of skin elasticity, nail changes, hair loss, and more.
• Winona is another telehealth service, but this one offers prescription hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in cream and pill forms. Your subscription also gives you access to menopause support webinars, Q&As, and peer support.

A balanced diet

Though you’ve likely heard it before, a well-balanced diet is the best source of all the vitamins and minerals you need. As stated by Harvard Health, “Supplements from a bottle simply can't match all the biologically active compounds teeming in a well-stocked pantry.”51

Some food sources of essential vitamins and major minerals are:52

• Vitamin A: Red meat, eggs, shrimp, fish, carrots, spinach
• B vitamins: Meat, dairy, mushrooms, fish, cereals, legumes, soy, broccoli, bananas
• Vitamin C: Citrus fruits, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes
• Vitamin D: Fortified milk and cereals, fatty fish
• Vitamin E: Leafy greens, whole grains, nuts
• Vitamin K: Eggs, cabbage, kale, spinach, milk
• Calcium: Dairy products and leafy green vegetables
• Chloride: Salt
• Magnesium: Whole-wheat bread, seeds, legumes, spinach, broccoli
• Potassium: Bananas, meat, milk, fruits, vegetables
• Sodium: Salt, vegetables

Trace minerals — like copper, zinc, selenium, and others — can also be found in these same foods.52
