Best Multivitamin for Men in India

by Jennifer Richardson

Men have unique nutritional needs throughout the stages of their life.

As they juggle the expectations of modern life, health, fitness, and nutrition are increasingly popular topics for Indian men.

Sadly, our food quality today is affected by environmental factors, and foods that once were nutritious may sometimes lack nutrients.

And, if you are dieting, restricting food, or facing illness or disease, meeting your daily nutritional requirements may also be challenging.

We would all prefer to gain our nutrients from food. However, multivitamins for men may play a part in filling in the gaps in nutritional needs from time to time.

Below are our recommendations for multivitamins for men.

Tip – What to look for in multivitamin tablets for men

• Blends specially formulated for men’s needs (i.e. men do not generally require extra iron)
• Avoid mega-doses (no more than 100% of the RDA in most cases)
• Focus on the number of essential nutrients rather than the number of ingredients
• Always double-check the marketing claims against the ingredient list on the packaging, as it can become confusing
