Men's Multivitamins is for daily all-in-one vitamin and mineral formulas made for men. Right now that means Trec Nutrition Multivitamin For Men, a 90-capsule tub aimed at active men who want one simple daily habit alongside their diet, with links below to related men's ranges.
Men's and women's formulas mostly differ in iron and a few minerals. NHS figures put an adult man's iron need at 8.7 mg a day, against 14.8 mg for women aged 19 to 50, so men's multis often contain little or no iron. Before you buy, check these lines on the label:
Trec Nutrition Multivitamin For Men comes from the European sports nutrition brand Trec in a 90-capsule tub. Follow the serving on the label, ideally with breakfast so it becomes a habit. Its authorised claims come from the nutrients it contains: vitamins C and D contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and vitamin B6 and magnesium contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. A food supplement should not replace a varied, balanced diet.
For prostate formulas and other men's products, see Men's Health, including Prostate Health. If you only need one or two nutrients, Vitamins A-Z and Zinc let you buy them on their own, and the full Multivitamins range has women's options too.
Not necessarily, but men's formulas usually contain less iron or none, because adult men need less iron than women of childbearing age. Compare the labels and choose the amounts that suit you.
With a meal, at the same time each day, following the serving on the label. Food also helps you absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E.
Usually yes, but some sports products are fortified with vitamins and minerals too. Add up the amounts on each label so you stay within UK guidance, such as 25 mg of zinc and 10 mg of vitamin B6 a day from supplements.
Check the label. The NHS advises 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day in autumn and winter; if your multivitamin already provides that, a separate vitamin D supplement is not needed to meet the guidance.
Take whatever the label states as the daily serving, which for some multivitamins is more than one capsule. Do not exceed it, and remember a supplement tops up your diet rather than replacing it.
