Multivitamins for Men & Women

Sealions' supplements contain all of the essential vitamins and minerals you need

While there are many different types of supplements available, multivitamins should contain the essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need to stay healthy.

However, bear in mind the combination in each blend will vary, so read the label before making a decision. You should also consider your age and gender because each group needs unique formulations.

The range of multivitamin tablets available from Sealions includes:

Multivitamins with iron

Iron is one of the most important minerals you can add to your diet, and it's found in broccoli, spinach and legumes. While most people get the right amount of iron as long as they eat a lot of vegetables, some might need supplements.

When you take multivitamins with iron, your brain will function more effectively and have more energy, but its primary benefit is healthier red blood cells.

Multivitamins for women

Women and men have different body compositions, so taking the right blend for your needs is essential. As women go through monthly periods, menopause and pregnancy, these changes mean they need more vitamins than their male counterparts.

Our mix for women contains all of the essential nutrients, including:

• Vitamin C: Helps to balance the brain for better cognitive functioning.
• Vitamin B6: Supports and balances your metabolism.
• Vitamin D: Strengthens the bones and prevents osteoarthritis.
• Vitamin E: Restores the cells when they suffer from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin K: Ensures the blood clots effectively.
• Folic Acid (Folate): Provides energy and prevents tiredness.

You can also get specially formulated combinations for pregnancy, as the vitamins & minerals often need to be stronger to support you and the baby. Studies published by the CDC show that the risk of congenital disabilities is lower when a woman takes folic acid early in her pregnancy.

Multivitamins for men

Men don't undergo as many changes as women, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't take vitamins. Many men use supplements to improve bone density and maintain optimum testosterone levels.

Zinc: An essential mineral for vegetarians and vegans, zinc boosts the immune system, fights infections and ensures wounds can heal faster.

Folate: Increases your energy and fights lethargy.

Vitamin A: Can lower your chance of developing prostate cancer - but this isn't definitively proven.

Calcium: Important for younger men as calcium strengthens the bones.

Magnesium: Magnesium can reduce your risk of heart disease and boost your muscle health. According to studies published by NBCI, American men are more at risk of a magnesium deficiency.

Vitamin D: Facilitates better muscle movement and increases your body's ability to absorb calcium.

Kids multivitamins

Kids' multivitamins contain all the nutrients a child will need but have lower strengths. Our supplements for children will facilitate muscle function without overpowering them and contain essential minerals such as zinc, iodine, vitamin D3, and the vital B vitamins.

Supplements for people aged 50 and over

As you age, your body changes, and you'll often need more minerals and nutrients. It's hard to get all of your vitamins through diet alone, and our supplement gives people over 50 everything they need for energy and cognitive function.

Lutein: Lutein reduces inflammation in the body but can also slow the ageing process.

Vitamin K1: Builds up bones and prevents severe bleeding in the event of a wound.

Vitamin B5: This vitamin increases skin health and can help you convert food and become more energetic.

FAQs

What are the benefits of multivitamins?

Multivitamins are dietary supplements containing selected vitamins and minerals. They're designed to help you get the nutrients you need that you're unable to obtain through diet alone.

One key point to note is that the benefits of multivitamins will vary depending on you and your dietary needs. However, in general, some of the potential benefits of multivitamins include:

• Improved overall health: Multivitamins can improve overall health by providing essential vitamins and minerals that may not be consumed in sufficient quantities through diet alone.
• Reduced risk of chronic diseases: Some studies have shown that multivitamins can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
• Improved mood and cognitive function: Multivitamins can help improve mood and cognitive function by providing essential nutrients that are needed for these processes.
• Increased energy levels: Multivitamins can help increase energy levels by providing essential nutrients that are needed for metabolism.
• Healthy hair, skin, and nails: Multivitamins can help promote healthy hair, skin, and nails by providing essential nutrients that are needed for these tissues.

What are multivitamins used for?

Multivitamins are dietary supplements that contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. They're not meant to be a substitute for a healthy diet, instead they should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet to reap the maximum benefits.

Which multivitamin tablet is best?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best multivitamin tablet for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. However, some factors to consider when choosing a multivitamin tablet include:

• Your age: Multivitamins are typically formulated for different age groups. For example, Sealions' multivitamins for over 50s contain different vitamins and minerals to our multivitamin for children.
• Your gender: Multivitamins may also be formulated for different genders. For example, our multivitamin for women contains more iron than our multivitamin for men.
• Your health conditions: If you have any health conditions, you may need to take a multivitamin that is specifically formulated for your condition. For example, if you have an iron deficiency or are anaemic, our multivitamin with added iron could be just what you need.
• Your diet: If you eat a balanced and healthy diet, you may not need to take a multivitamin. However, if you have a poor diet, you may benefit from taking a multivitamin.

What do multivitamins contain?

Again, there is no one answer here. All of our different multivitamin products in our multivitamin range are designed to target different people with different needs. In general though, they all contain a range of essential vitamins and minerals.

Is it good to take a multivitamin everyday? 

This answer is also not definitive.

If you eat a healthy diet you may not need to take a multivitamin at all, however, if you have a poor diet, or you lack certain nutrients from your diet, then yes, a multivitamin everyday could be benficial to your health.

If you're unsure about what supplements you might need, talk to your doctor before taking any multivitamin, especially if you have any health conditions. Your doctor can help you decide if a multivitamin is right for you and can talk you through which specific vitamins and minerals you need.

Do multivitamins have any side effects?

Multivitamins are generally safe for most people when taken in recommended doses. However, some people may experience side effects from taking multivitamins, such as:

• Nausea: This is the most common side effect of multivitamins. It's usually mild and goes away on its own.
• Vomiting: This is less common than nausea, but it can still occur. If you experience vomiting, stop taking the multivitamin and talk to your doctor.
• Diarrhoea: This is also less common than nausea and vomiting, but it can still happen. If you experience diarrhoea, stop taking the multivitamin and again, talk to your doctor.
• Headache: This is a less common side effect of multivitamins. It's usually mild and goes away on its own.
• Allergic reaction: This is a rare side effect of multivitamins. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include hives, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking the multivitamin and seek immediate medical attention.

Some additional things to bear in mind about multivitamins and side effects include:

• Not all multivitamins are created equal. Some multivitamins are better tolerated than others. If you experience side effects from one multivitamin, you may want to try a different formulation.
• Multivitamins can interact with medications. If you're taking any medications, talk to your doctor before taking a multivitamin.
• Multivitamins can cause toxicity. It's possible to take too much of certain vitamins and minerals, which can lead to toxicity. Always follow the directions on the multivitamin label and talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Are cheap multivitamins any good?

Well, yes, quite frankly. Cheap doesn't always equal bad or low quality. The multivitamins from Sealions, for example, are some of the cheapest available, while also not compromising on quality. You don't have to pay a fortune to look after your health - the plethora of positive reviews we receive from our delighted customers merely serves to highlight this.

Are multivitamins really worth taking?

We wholeheartedly believe so, especially if you have certain health conditions or dietary restrictions that prevent you from obtaining all the nutrients your body needs through a healthy diet and lifestyle alone.

What happens to your body when you start taking vitamins?

When you start taking multivitamins, your body begins to absorb the nutrients it needs. This can lead to a number of positive changes, including (but not limited to):

• Improved energy levels
• Increased focus and concentration
• Improved skin health
• Reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer
• Healthier, shinier hair
• Stronger, less brittle nails
• Improved immune system
• Improved mood
• Stronger bones
