Many people ask and wonder if taking a multivitamin is worth their time and money.
Questions like, “do you just pee them out?” or “are they even doing anything?” are rational and valid questions.

However, it is important to get a form that has nutrients in forms that the body can absorb and utilize properly and has minimal additives.
Also, it’s always best to start foundationally with a nutrient-dense diet. Here’s mine.
For me, I include 2-3 foundational supplements to ensure my body has the tools to function optimally, both now and into the future.
