Quick Answers

What supports everyday wellness?

Nutritious food, regular movement, quality sleep, and stress management provide the foundation.¹

Does everyone need a multivitamin?

No. Supplement needs depend on your diet, age, life stage, and health.¹

What does a multivitamin do?

It provides several vitamins and minerals in one product for broad nutritional support.²

Is more always better?

No. Choose amounts that fit your needs and check for overlap between supplements.²

What is everyday wellness?

Everyday wellness means supporting the body’s basic needs through nutrition, movement, sleep, and other consistent habits. 

Vitamins and minerals help with functions such as energy metabolism, immune function, tissue formation, and maintaining healthy bones. Supplements may help provide additional support when your diet or needs call for it.¹,² 

What affects your nutritional needs?

Your needs can change with your diet, age, life stage, activity level, medications, and health conditions. Pregnancy and later adulthood also have specific nutritional considerations.¹ 

A varied diet should provide the foundation. When choosing supplements, focus on what may be missing or requires additional support rather than taking more of everything. 

Key Ingredients for Everyday Wellness

Multivitamin

A multivitamin provides several vitamins and minerals in one formula for broad everyday nutritional support.²

Vitamin D

Vitamin D supports immune function and helps the body absorb calcium to maintain healthy bones and teeth.²

Vitamin C

Vitamin C supports immune function, collagen formation, wound healing, and antioxidant protection.²

What everyday habits support overall wellness?

  • Eat a variety of foods: Choose vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and protein foods.¹ 
  • Make water your main drink: It supports hydration without added sugars.¹ 
  • Move regularly: Build physical activity into your day in ways that work for you.⁴ 
  • Prioritize sleep: Keep a consistent routine and address ongoing sleep concerns. 
  • Manage stress: Make time for rest, connection, and activities that help you reset. 
  • Review changing needs: Revisit your routine as your diet, health, or life stage changes. 

What should you look for in everyday wellness support?

Start with your diet and needs, then decide whether broad or targeted support makes sense.

  • Broad daily support: Consider a multivitamin if your diet varies or has nutritional gaps. 
  • Targeted support: Choose an individual nutrient when you have a specific need or goal. 
  • Match your life stage: Look for formulas designed for your age and stage of life. 
  • Compare the formula: Gummies may contain fewer nutrients than caplets or tablets. 
  • Check the amounts: Higher potency doesn’t automatically make a supplement more appropriate. 
  • Watch for overlap: Avoid unintentionally doubling vitamins and minerals across products. 
  • Choose the right fit: Consider format, dietary preferences, directions, and an eight-digit NPN.⁵

FAQs

Does everyone need to take vitamins every day?

No. Nutrient needs should primarily be met through nutritious foods. Supplement needs vary based on diet, age, life stage, and individual health.¹

Should I take a multivitamin?

A multivitamin may offer broad nutritional support if your diet varies or you have difficulty meeting certain needs through food. It isn’t necessary for everyone.

Can a multivitamin replace a healthy diet?

No. Supplements can add nutrients to your routine, but they don’t replace the fibre, protein, and variety provided by nutritious foods.¹
