THIS Is The Difference Between 'Meh' & Mighty Multivitamins, According To Science

Let's face it: There's a lot more to taking a multivitamin these days than simply choosing between your favorite chewable cartoon characters. With so many options out there—from gummies for grown-ups to personalized capsules—pinpointing the most helpful supplements to include in your daily routine can easily feel like one big guessing game.

Based on the latest numbers, most of the 75 percent of American adults1 who take supplements on a regular basis go with a good ol' multivitamin (and it goes without saying, but speak with your doctor or registered dietitian before starting any supplement routine). And it makes sense: Our bodies need vitamins and minerals A, C, B6, B12, calcium, magnesium, and iodine to function properly and healthfully, but getting everything we need all the time is often easier said than done. 

While they're in no way meant to be magic pills for health, certain multis may actually have an advantage in delivering nutritional benefits. 

In the fermentation process—an ancient practice for preserving food—the hard-to-digest sugars, starches, fibers, and proteins of a food are broken down by yeast and bacteria into other beneficial substances. In other words, think of fermented foods as "pre-digested" foods: They're easier for our bodies to digest4 and absorb its nutrients. (You can see where we're heading with this.) 

Loaded with herbal superfood ingredients like ginger, turmeric, elderberry, and maca, on top of B vitamins for energy, vitamin D3 for bone strength, and vitamins C, A, and zinc for immunity, the whole-food fermented Every Woman's One Daily is a next-level multi that goes beyond just addressing nutritional deficiencies.
