With so many multivitamin options on the market, it’s easy to wonder — do you really need to supplement with vitamins? The answer depends on your diet, lifestyle, and health goals. Even with a "balanced diet," it’s difficult to get all the essential nutrients your body needs daily. Supplementing with a high-quality multivitamin fills the nutritional gaps. But not all multivitamins are created equal.
This blog will compare Nutrishop's Super Multi+ with a typical One-A-Day tablet to highlight why Super Multi+ is a more effective option for your daily vitamin needs.
Data Insight: According to the CDC, nearly 90% of Americans don’t get enough essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, E, and magnesium from food alone.
Do You Really Need a Multivitamin?
While a perfect diet could, in theory, supply all the nutrients you need, most people fall short due to processed foods, busy schedules, and nutrient-depleted soil. A daily multivitamin provides a safety net of essential vitamins and minerals to support:
- Immune health (Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D)
- Energy production (B-complex vitamins)
- Bone strength (Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D)
- Heart health (Folate, B6, B12)
Research Insight: A 2021 review in Nutrients found that taking a multivitamin for just 6 weeks improved energy, focus, and immune response.

Why Super Multi+ Is the Better Choice
- Superior Absorption
- Tablets vs. Capsules: One-A-Day is a hard tablet, which often has slower breakdown times in the stomach, resulting in reduced absorption. Nutrishop’s Super Multi+ uses capsules that dissolve quickly for optimal nutrient absorption.
- Chelated Minerals: Super Multi+ uses chelated minerals, which are more bioavailable than the standard minerals found in One-A-Day.
- Higher Dosages Where It Matters
- Vitamin D: Super Multi+ delivers 2,000 IU of vitamin D, which supports immune health, mood, and bone strength. Most One-A-Day tablets offer only 400-800 IU, which may not be enough for optimal health.
- B-Vitamins: Super Multi+ contains a full spectrum of B-complex vitamins (like B6, B12, and folate) in higher doses, essential for energy, mood, and brain health.
- More Than Just Vitamins
- Herbal Support: Super Multi+ goes beyond basic vitamins by including powerful plant-based antioxidants like green tea extract, turmeric, and CoQ10. These antioxidants support heart health, reduce inflammation, and combat oxidative stress.
- Antioxidant Protection: Unlike One-A-Day, Super Multi+ includes natural antioxidants to protect cells from free radical damage, which can reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Pro Tip: Tablets like One-A-Day can lose potency when exposed to moisture. Super Multi+ capsules are designed to maintain maximum freshness and potency.
If you’re serious about filling your daily nutritional gaps, Nutrishop's Super Multi+ is the clear winner. It offers better absorption, higher doses of essential vitamins (like D and B), and bonus ingredients like green tea extract, turmeric, and CoQ10. Unlike One-A-Day, which prioritizes simplicity, Super Multi+ prioritizes effectiveness and bioavailability.
With the modern diet lacking essential nutrients, a high-quality multivitamin isn’t just “nice to have” — it’s a daily necessity. Upgrade from basic One-A-Day tablets and experience the difference of Super Multi+. Your body will thank you.
