5 Signs You Need a Multivitamin

A balanced diet should cover most of your micronutrient needs, but real life isn't always that consistent. Here are five signs a daily multivitamin could help.

1. Your diet is restrictive or repetitive — whether from a busy schedule, dieting, or food preferences, eating a narrow range of foods often means missing key micronutrients.

2. You're training hard and often — intense exercise increases your body's demand for certain vitamins and minerals involved in recovery and energy production.

3. You feel low energy despite enough sleep — while this has many causes, a multivitamin is a low-risk first step worth ruling out alongside other lifestyle factors.

4. You rarely eat fruits and vegetables — these are the primary source of many vitamins that are harder to get from a mostly protein-and-carbs diet.

5. You're recovering from illness or a demanding period — a general multivitamin can act as simple nutritional insurance during these stretches. If in doubt, our in-store team can help you compare options.
