Why do I need to take eight tablets a day? Do I really need all these vitamins and minerals?
While you may be able to compress synthetic ingredients made in a lab into one or two tablets, the same can’t be said for wholesome whole-food ingredients which are also typically better absorbed than synthetic nutrients.
You may have been able to get the nutrients you need from healthy foods 50 years ago, but it’s more challenging today to do so, even with organically grown foods. Plus, many people rely at least to some extent on processed convenience foods, which provide suboptimal nutrition. A high-quality multivitamin can help fill the gaps in your diet and help you get the vitamins and minerals your body needs for health.

I already take many supplements and feel I follow a healthy diet. Do I still need multivitamins?
Taking other supplements is a great approach for addressing targeted issues, but they don’t typically supply a full spectrum of nutrients. A high-quality multivitamin with minerals and whole foods can provide you with a broad base of nutrients for optimal health and an active lifestyle.*
-
Are all of the ingredients from whole foods?
Our formula contains more than 2,000 mg of organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and green foods designed to support your health. For the few nutrients that are impractical to extract from food, we use easily absorbed, bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals.

Can I give Whole-Food Complex with added Multivitamins plus Vital Minerals to my child?
We formulated our Whole-Food Complex with added Multivitamins plus Vital Minerals for adults, however, we also created a multivitamin just for kids – Chewable Multivitamins for Kids – because we know children also don’t always get all the nutrients, they need from food.
-
Why are the colors of my Whole-Food Multivitamins sometimes different?
Our Whole-Food Complex Multivitamin with added Multivitamin plus Vital Minerals contains blends of organic, whole-food fruits, vegetables herbs and green foods, in addition to vitamins and minerals. The whole-food ingredients can vary in color from season to season, so each batch of our formula may appear a little different. The various colored specks distributed throughout the tablet are from the minerals, which are also normal variations.
