Multivitamin
Covers possible micronutrient gaps.
Educational only — not medical advice. BodEvo summarizes research cautiously and labels estimates as estimates. Talk to a physician or registered dietitian before starting any supplement, diet, or training program.
What the evidence says
Moderate benefit when diet has genuine gaps. Low benefit with a nutrient-dense diet.
Typical dose & timing
Dose: Per label.
Timing: With a meal.
Role in a stack
Micronutrient insurance.
Redundancy check: Check for overlap with separate D3, zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, iodine.
Cautions & safety
Avoid stacking with separate high-dose vitamins/minerals that duplicate the multi.
Overlap with other supplements can create unintentional megadosing.
Best for
inconsistent diets · cutting phases · limited food variety

Multivitamins provide moderate benefit for filling micronutrient gaps, particularly during caloric restriction. They do not replace a nutrient-dense diet.
