- A multivitamin is key to making sure you get your daily fill of nutrients without having to take a roster of supplements.
- Our top pick is the Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Women, which contains all the essentials plus probiotics and enzymes to help you digest.
Vitamins, if you bother to take them at all, are the least fun part of the day. Growing up, my parents would set out a cupful of various supplements at dinnertime, which I carefully distributed throughout the meal to minimize the torture (swallowing pills is the worst).
As an adult, I've largely fallen off the vitamin bandwagon, much to their chagrin. If, like me, you're trying to get back into the habit of supplementing your diet with some additional nutrition, a multivitamin is a great place to start. All the essentials, packed into just one pill - what more could you want?
But before you grab the first multi for women you see on your drugstore shelf, do a little research. Not all multivitamins are created equal, and different body chemistries and lifestyles will require boosts of different vitamins and minerals. For example, pregnant women or women over the age of 40 may want to look into specialty multivitamins formulated for their specific needs. Medical News Today has a useful breakdown of which vitamins are most important for women at different ages.
Multivitamins are highly personal and it's difficult to recommend just one that works for everyone. That said, we've rounded up five highly-praised multivitamins for women here, so there's likely to be one that suits you on this list.
