What Does Mini-Multi Do?

Overview
•Contains iron-free minerals, which lowers overdose concern from iron but also means it may not suit people specifically needing iron supplementation.
•Vitamin A is provided as beta-carotene, which is generally safer than preformed retinol for many users.
•The formula includes magnesium oxide, a lower-absorption form, but the dose is modest and usually well tolerated.
•Zinc, niacin, and vitamin C can still cause mild stomach upset in sensitive users, especially if taken without food.
•People on thyroid medication or with thyroid disease should note the iodine content.
•Pregnant or lactating users should confirm appropriateness with a clinician, especially if taking another prenatal or multivitamin.
