In a perfect world, our nutritional intake would cover every single vitamin and mineral we need, and at optimal amounts to enable us to flourish and thrive. Unfortunately that’s often not the case, and therefore over time, this results in an imbalance (or deficiency) in certain areas.

If you’re questioning the price, bear in mind that if you walk into a high street store like Boots or H&B, the multivitamins they provide are often poor quality and under dosed… they provide just enough of each vitamin/mineral to stop you becoming unwell, which when you consider the money they cost, is far from ideal.

Supplement Needs have cracked it with this daily supplement, that provides the whole spectrum of essentials and at efficacious doses to enable you to perform on your ‘A game’ every day of the week. A multivitamin and mineral for athletes, not your average Joe.

Who it’s for:

Anyone needing foundational nutrient insurance – especially those with plant-based diets, busy lifestyles, or inconsistent eating habits. Great for maintaining energy, stress resilience, immune balance, and basic hormonal and cellular support.

What it does:

Delivers high‑potency B‑vitamins (methylated forms included), essential antioxidants (Vitamins C & E), Vitamin A for immune and eye support, and a balanced mineral profile for metabolism, bone, hormone, and nerve function. Think of it as your daily nutritional safety net – covering everything without overdose risk.

How I would use it:

Take 1 capsule daily with breakfast. Best stacked with Vitamin D3 + K2 and an omega oil for full-spectrum coverage. Rotate off every few months if diet is nutrient-rich. Simple, effective, foundational.

The Science:

Supplements help fill key nutritional gaps in everyday diets

Analysis of over 10,000 U.S. adults (NHANES 2009-2012) found that regular multivitamin-mineral supplement users had significantly higher intakes and fewer nutrient inadequacies, especially in vitamins A, C, D, E, and iron – which are commonly under-consumed in typical diets.

Effects of Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation in Athletes

Athletes typically have higher micronutrient demands that may not be met through diet alone, especially during periods of heavy training, restricted dietary intake, or poor recovery. A well-balanced multivitamin-mineral supplement, like Supplement Needs, can help bridge these nutrient gaps and support vital performance-related functions.
