Taking a multivitamin is a great way to help your body hit its nutritional needs. Vitamins play a vital role in your overall health and perform hundreds of roles in the body, from converting food into energy to supporting your immune system.

Multivits typically contain the main players in the vitamin and mineral world – such as vitamin B12 and iron for energy, vitamin C for immunity support and vitamin D with calcium for normal bones.1 Although this makes them super convenient, it means they’re more of a one-size-fits all approach. So how could you begin to tailor your supplement routine?

Needless to say, men and women’s bodies are different. By taking a specially formulated men’s multivitamin, typically, it’s been designed to meet the varying levels of nutrients compared to women. Plus, they often contain zinc2 to help maintain normal testosterone levels, and selenium,3 which contributes to normal sperm production.

But which to choose? Let’s go through what men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB) might need, as well as our favourite multivitamins and real customer reviews.

What vitamins should men consider taking?

If you’re looking to add more vitamins and minerals to your diet, then multivitamins are good way of ensuring that you’re getting your daily dose. However, the NHS assures that you should be able to get enough nutrients from a healthy, well-balanced diet. That said, with more and more of us on vegan, vegetarian and specialist diets than ever, it can be difficult for us to get all our vitamins from foods.

The following vitamins and minerals are common nutrients that men between the ages of 19 and 70 are likely to need:
  • vitamin A, which helps normal skin, vision and the normal function of the immune system4
  • B vitamins, like B2, B6 and B12, which help maintain normal red blood cells. Vitamin B9 (also known as folate or folic acid) comes in two types – a synthetic form that’s sometimes added to food products, and folate, which naturally occurs in food.5 Vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) helps to release the energy from the food you eat, it also supports normal nervous system function, contributes to the reduction of fatigue and also helps support normal skin health6
  • vitamin C, which is essential for the immune system, particularly after intense exercise. It helps normal skin, bones and cartilage function, and supports physiological and nervous function7
  • vitamin D, which helps support bone and muscle function8
  • vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress – imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body9
  • vitamin K, which is vital for bone health and blood clotting10
  • calcium, which keeps bones and teeth healthy. It also controls muscle function and function of digestive enzymes11
  • magnesium, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal protein synthesis12
  • selenium, which helps sperm development and the thyroid gland3, 13
  • zinc, which is good for normal vision and helps maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood. It can also support hair, skin and nails2
It’s important to note that these health benefits are obtained when the daily intake of these vitamins and minerals is at least 15% of the NRV (Nutritional Reference Value). Men and those AMAB are at lower risk of iron deficiency as they don’t lose blood through periods as menstruating women do. So the need for iron is lower.14 However, it's advisable to get iron through a healthy, balanced diet and it shouldn’t be supplemented if it’s not advised by a doctor – as you can have too much.15

The final say

With plenty of products around, choosing the ‘best’ supplement can be a difficult process. But most importantly, remember that whatever the strength of a supplement, it shouldn’t replace a healthy diet.

The key is to consider your age, carefully assess gaps in your diet, and think about what’s going to work best for you to achieve your health and lifestyle goals. Combining your supplements can also make them work harder – we asked a nutritionist about powerful supplement pairings that are more effective together.
