multivitamins
Nutritional supplement tablets
Multivitamins are dietary supplements combining multiple vitamins and often minerals in a single pill, tablet, or gummy.
They're marketed as nutritional insurance for people who may not get enough nutrients from food alone: I take a multivitamin every morning.
Whether they provide meaningful health benefits for well-nourished people remains debated.
