General Multivitamins

General Multivitamins covers daily multivitamin and multimineral tablets, capsules and gummies for adults, women, men and older people.

Who Actually Benefits

Most people eating a varied diet do not need a multivitamin, and it is more useful to say so than to sell you one. Where they genuinely help:

• A genuinely restricted diet — very limited variety, a strict vegetarian or vegan diet, or eating very little.

• Pregnancy and planning pregnancy, where folic acid and iron are specifically recommended.

• Older adults, whose absorption of B12 in particular declines.

• Recovery from illness or surgery, or a period of poor appetite.

• Certain medications that deplete specific nutrients.

• For a specific, tested deficiency, a single supplement does far more. A multivitamin spreads small amounts across twenty nutrients; if your vitamin D or iron is low, you need a proper dose of that one thing.

Reading the Label

• Check against the daily requirement. Around 100% of the recommended intake is sensible. Products at 1000% are a marketing decision, not a nutritional one.

• Check for overlap. Many people take a multivitamin and separate vitamin D and calcium without realising they are doubling up.

• Iron is not automatically desirable. Many multivitamins for men and for older people leave it out deliberately — excess iron accumulates and is harmful.

• Fat-soluble vitamins accumulate. A, D, E and K are stored rather than excreted, so high doses over months add up.

• Gummies usually contain sugar and often fewer nutrients than a tablet.

Taking Them Properly

With a meal containing some fat, so the fat-soluble vitamins absorb. Not with tea or coffee, which block iron. Keep calcium and iron apart by a few hours. And tell your doctor what you take — several common vitamins and minerals interact with prescribed medicines.

Shopping This Category

• Every listing states what we actually know — size, quantity, country of origin, and the specification the manufacturer publishes. Where a detail is not available, the page says so instead of filling the space.

• Compare pack size, not just price. A larger pack is usually cheaper per unit; a small one is the sensible way to try something new.

• Delivery across Bangladesh, with cash on delivery available in most areas.

• Ask us if a listing does not answer your question. We would rather check than guess, and we correct a listing when we find it wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a multivitamin?

Probably not if your diet is varied. Reasonable insurance if it is restricted. A blood test costs less than a year of guessing and tells you what you actually need.

Are expensive brands better?

Not necessarily. Compare the amounts and the forms of each nutrient on the label rather than the price. A cheaper product at 100% of requirements is a better buy than an expensive one at 800%.

Can I take one alongside other supplements?

Check for overlap first. Doubling up on fat-soluble vitamins or iron is where problems start, and it happens more often than people expect.

How do I know the product is genuine?

Check the seal, the batch number and the expiry printed on the pack itself rather than on a sticker over it. Everything we sell is sourced to arrive sealed and within date, and if what you receive does not match the listing we will put it right.

How much shelf life will it have?

We stock to arrive well within date and do not knowingly ship anything close to expiry. If you need a specific minimum for a particular order, ask before placing it and we will check the batch.
