Women'S Ultivite 65+ Multivitamin, Swisse, 60 Tabs

Benefits

• Helps maintain general health and wellbeing when dietary intake is inadequate.
• Helps relieve tiredness and fatigue when due to low vitamin and mineral intake.
• Helps support normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Helps support normal immune system function.
• Provides vitamins and minerals for healthy nervous system function.
• Helps fill nutritional gaps in restricted or busy diets.

What people commonly use it for

• Tiredness from a poor diet (Good clinical evidence that correcting low intakes helps)
• Busy schedules and skipped meals (Traditional use)
• Restricted diets such as vegan or dairy-free (Good clinical evidence that supplements fill gaps)
• Feeling run down during stress (Some clinical studies suggest B vitamins help during stress)
• Ageing and reduced appetite (Some clinical studies suggest it helps meet needs)

Suggested to use alongside

• Fish oil: Provides omega-3s that most multivitamins lack
• Vitamin D: Extra support for bone and muscle health
• Probiotic: Supports digestive wellbeing alongside daily nutrients

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients. We need them in small amounts, but they are essential to thousands of reactions in the body. B vitamins act as coenzymes in energy production, vitamin C and E are antioxidants, vitamin D and calcium work together for bone health, and minerals such as zinc, magnesium and iron take part in hundreds of enzymes.

Forms matter. Minerals come as different salts or chelates. Magnesium citrate and zinc picolinate, for example, are usually better absorbed than oxides. Some vitamins are available in active forms, such as methylfolate for folic acid and methylcobalamin for B12.

Fat-soluble and water-soluble. Vitamins A, D, E and K are absorbed with dietary fat and stored in the body, so they are best taken with a meal. Water-soluble vitamins like B and C are not stored in large amounts, so a regular supply is helpful.

Interactions. Some minerals compete for absorption, such as calcium, iron and zinc at high doses, which is why some formulas are split across the day.

Large trials show that a multivitamin is not a substitute for a healthy diet, but it can help where intakes fall short (NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, Multivitamin/mineral supplements fact sheet).

Do I need a multivitamin?

If you eat a varied diet you may not. People with restricted diets, higher needs or busy lifestyles may benefit.

When is the best time to take a multivitamin?

With breakfast or lunch is best, since food helps absorption and reduces stomach upset. Some people feel buzzy if taken late in the day.

Can I take a multivitamin on an empty stomach?

You can, but it may cause nausea in some people. Taking it with food is gentler.

Why does a multivitamin turn urine bright yellow?

This is due to riboflavin (vitamin B2) being excreted. It is harmless.

What is the difference between a multivitamin and a multimineral?

A multivitamin mainly contains vitamins, while a multimineral adds minerals like zinc, magnesium or iron. Many products combine both.

Can I take a multivitamin with other supplements?

Often yes, but check labels to avoid doubling up on nutrients. Ask your pharmacist if unsure.

Do not exceed the recommended dose, and check the label if taking other supplements. Pregnant women should use a formula designed for pregnancy and avoid extra vitamin A. Ask your health professional if you take blood thinners, as vitamin K can interact.
