What You Need to Know About Multivitamins
Supplements can add nutrients to your diet. Experts sort through a variety of multis.
Powdered Multivitamins
What they are: Drink mixes you stir into a liquid.
Benefits: Often just one heaping tablespoon contains the vitamins and minerals that you would get from several pills. “Tablets contain
fillers and binding agents that the body has to break down before the nutrients can be absorbed,” says Kulkarni. “Powders
don’t require these.” Try All One Original Formula ($48 for a 30-day supply, all-one.com).
Keep in mind: Many powders have a bitter aftertaste, says Gidus. Mixing them with juice (not water) may help. Or try blending them with
yogurt and fruit to make a smoothie.
