You can swallow a capsule, sip on a liquid, chew on gummies\u2014there are <em>plenty<\/em> of options these days. You can also get picky about where your daily multi sources its nutrients from.<\/p>\n<p>While many standard supplements feature synthetic vitamins and minerals that are created in a lab, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/multivitamins\/whole-food-multivitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whole food or food-based multivitamins<\/a> feature nutrients that are<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> naturally extracted and derived from concentrated sources of minimally processed foods, according to functional dietitian <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wholeisticliving.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jenna Volpe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, R.D.N., L.D., C.L.T. And as it turns out, these straight-from-nature nutrients might give <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whole food multis some pretty special benefits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re curious about food-based multivitamins, here are a handful of reasons to give one a try.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em style=\"font-family: 'Josefin Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\"><strong>ABOUT OUR EXPERTS<\/strong><\/em>: <em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wholeisticliving.com\/\">Jenna Volpe<\/a>, R.D.N., L.D., C.L.T., is a functional dietitian.

Enhanced nutrient absorption<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn many cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minerals<\/a> naturally derived from whole foods may be more bioavailable, a.k.a. more easily absorbed and readily used by our body, compared to their synthetic counterparts,&#8221; says Volpe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is that w<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hole food multivitamins often contain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion-gut-health\/enzymes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enzymes<\/a> and cofactors that occur naturally in the foods they&#8217;re made from, which may aid in the digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals, according to Roger E. Adams, Ph.D., doctor of nutrition and owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/eatrightfitness.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eatrightfitness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThis means that the body may be able to utilize these nutrients more effectively than those found in synthetic vitamins,&#8221; he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/not-absorbing-nutrients-well\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6 Signs You&#8217;re Not Absorbing Nutrients Well\u2014And What To Do About It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the absorption rates for vitamins can vary based on factors like individual health and diet, the presence of these natural enzymes and cofactors in whole food multivitamins is believed to contribute to improved nutrient uptake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Just seek out a brand that&#8217;s<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> transparent about its ingredients. \u201cA reputable whole food multivitamin should list specific whole foods rather than just the nutrients, and, ideally, these should be organic or non-GMO,\u201d Adams says. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Increased synergy of nutrients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whole food multivitamins offer a unique advantage called nutrient synergy, meaning that, unlike isolated vitamins and minerals added to synthetic supplements, the nutrients in whole food multis work together in a way that mimics their natural state (a.k.a. in actual food), according to naturopath <a href=\"https:\/\/aznaturalmedicine.com\/\">Kiera Lane<\/a>, N.M.D., MSAc, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., director of Arizona Natural Medicine. When this occurs, the cumulative benefit of these synergistic nutrients is ultimately greater than the benefit they&#8217;d have individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This collaboration enhances absorption and utilization within the body, potentially maximizing their overall benefits. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\/vitamin-c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin C<\/a> can boost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\/iron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iron<\/a> absorption when they are consumed together in their natural forms,\u201d says Lane. Basically, these nutrients become supercharged when taken together, for a &#8220;five plus five equals twelve&#8221; kind of effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Fewer side effects<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synthetic multivitamins often contain isolated nutrients in high concentrations, which can exceed the body&#8217;s needs, notes Volpe. Typically, this surplus is eliminated through urine (yep, that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/multivitamins-pee-neon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neon yellow pee is from excess<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> B vitamins). While discolored pee is nothing to be alarmed about, higher amounts of some synthetic nutrients\u2014think iron and zinc\u2014may<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> be more likely to cause digestive upset than their whole food counterparts, Volpe explains. Since whole food multivitamins are derived from real food sources, they tend to have a more balanced nutrient profile, be easier for the body to break down, and ultimately be less likely to cause these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Reduced synthetic additives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conventional multivitamins may contain synthetic fillers and preservatives, which some people may prefer to avoid. Whole food multivitamins, on the other hand, typically have fewer or no artificial additives, making them a cleaner option, notes Lane. Typically, if a brand is committed to sourcing its multi nutrients from foods, that commitment to natural ingredients extends to\u00a0<em>anything<\/em> included in the supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While this may be a matter of personal preference for some people, it\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be especially important for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to synthetic ingredients, Lane says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Additional phytochemicals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\/vitamin-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B vitamins<\/a>, iron, vitamin C, and all the other everyday all-stars you look for in a multivitamin, whole food multis also c<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ontain bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, that have health-promoting properties, according to Lane. These phytochemicals give plants their<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> color, taste, and smell\u2014and, interestingly, they <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can offer significant health benefits to humans when consumed, offering up powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/antioxidants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">antioxidants<\/a> that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-antioxidants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Foods That Are Loaded With Antioxidants<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile it can\u2019t replace a balanced diet, a whole food multivitamin could potentially help to supplement not just the vitamins and minerals found in fruits and veggies but also their antioxidants, which are more beneficial and healthy in their natural form versus in a synthetic form,\u201d says Volpe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Kind To the environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, brands dedicated to creating top-notch whole food multivitamins are often also dedicated to doing so in an environmentally friendly way. You&#8217;ll notice that many food-based multis proudly share that they source organic ingredients and\/or support sustainable farming practices. Many even use eco-friendly packaging.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGood quality brands often utilize USDA-certified organic fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices over conventional produce and\/or synthetic nutrients,\u201d says Canada-based naturopathic doctor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahconnorsnd.com\/\">Sarah Connors<\/a>, N.D. \u201cThese brands also tend to be more eco-conscious, and work with companies that use fair-trade farming practices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you value both human and planetary health (they go hand in hand, after all), then opting for a whole food multivitamin can be a simple but meaningful way to support a cause you care about and live out your values.
