Quick reference for LiveGood Multi-Vitamin for Women. The full review covers the complete label and the evidence in depth.
How do I take it? #
Take 2 capsules once a day with food. LiveGood suggests the morning, since the active B12 can feel energizing, and a meal helps the fat-soluble nutrients absorb. Each bottle holds 60 capsules, which is 30 servings, a one-month supply.
What is in it? #
Per 2 capsules: 20 vitamins and minerals in bio-active forms, including 200 mcg methylcobalamin B12, 551 mcg DFE L-methylfolate, 25 mg P-5-P B6, 1,000 mcg biotin and 18 mg iron as ferrous bisglycinate. A small blend adds marigold extract (5 mg lutein, 2 mg zeaxanthin), 50 mg cranberry and 30 mg L-glycine. The label shows vegan, gluten free and soy free.
Why does it have iron, and what if I do not need it? #
Women of menstruating age lose iron every month, so the women’s formula includes 18 mg, 100% of the Daily Value, in a gentler chelated form. If you are post-menopausal or your doctor says you do not need iron, the Multi-Vitamin for Men has no iron.
What does it not include? #
There is no vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium or magnesium. LiveGood points to its D3-K2 for D and K, and the Ultra Magnesium Complex covers magnesium.
Who should check with a doctor first? #
Talk with your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, have an iron overload condition, or take thyroid medication, which iron can interfere with. The 1,000 mcg of biotin can skew some lab tests, including thyroid and heart panels, so tell your doctor before blood work. Keep iron supplements away from children.
How long until I notice anything? #
A multivitamin is quiet insurance, not a quick fix. If your diet had gaps, steadier energy within a few weeks is the most common thing people mention. Results vary.
What if it does not work for me? #
