How Multivitamin works
Multivitamins provide a mix of vitamins, and sometimes minerals, that the body needs in small amounts for energy production, immunity, healthy blood, bones, skin and nerves. Filling gaps in the diet helps the body carry out these processes normally.
What is Multivitamin used for?
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Weakness and tiredness
- Poor appetite
- Recovery after illness
- Nutritional support during pregnancy or growth
Multivitamin is used to prevent and treat vitamin deficiencies and to support general health when diet alone is not enough. It is often recommended during recovery from illness, for people with poor appetite or a restricted diet, for children during growth, for older adults, and during pregnancy when a suitable product is advised by a doctor.
Side effects of Multivitamin
Multivitamin is usually well tolerated. Some people notice:
- Mild stomach upset or nausea
- Change in urine colour (harmless, caused by B vitamins)
- Constipation (with iron-containing products)
Seek medical advice if you develop signs of an allergic reaction.
Precautions and warnings
- Do not take more than the recommended amount, as some vitamins (such as A and D) can build up in the body.
- Avoid taking several supplements that contain the same vitamins at the same time.
- Choose a product made for the right age group; adult products are not suitable for young children.
- If you are pregnant, ask your doctor which supplement is right for you.
