The world of vitamins can be a tricky one to navigate. Finding a quality multivitamin – one with important key nutrients and without all the extra stuff (I’m looking at you, sugar) – has historically required hours of research and more typically, cobbling together a bunch of individual vitamins to basically create your own multi. Thankfully, I have a few awesome friends who recommended Ritual. It’s totally changed my vitamin game – and accompanied me through many stages of life.
Ritual was founded “with the belief that better health begins with better ingredients.” Founder and CEO Katerina Schneider couldn’t find a vitamin brand she trusted, so she set out to make her own. She worked with a team of industry-leading scientists to completely reinvent the multivitamin, eventually creating something without any sugary ingredients or artificial colorants. Her resulting Essential for Women multivitamin is USP verified, a verification most vitamins don’t have.
Even the healthiest eaters in the world may sometimes struggle to get enough of all the nutrients they need from their diets on a daily basis. The Essential for Women 18+ contains 9 key nutrients. Omega-3 DHA and B-12 to support brain health, Vitamin D, Magnesium, Boron and K2 to maintain bone health, chelated Iron and methylated Folate for red blood cell formation, and Vitamin E to provide antioxidant support.*
Ritual’s website boasts information on every single labeled ingredient, including what it does, its final place of manufacturing (down to the city in some cases!), who supplied it, its form in the pill, and a whole host of resources about why that nutrient is important. Here’s an example. Pretty cool, right?
Sure, the science checks out – but will you actually take it? Ritual’s simple subscription ensures you’re always stocked. For around $30 per month, the multivitamins are delivered to your door a few days before you’re set to run out of the current bottle – meaning you’ll never miss a day, and you don’t have to deal with restocking. If you’re traveling or for whatever reason don’t need more in a particular month, you can just skip that delivery or set a different date. It’s just easy.
In addition to its Essential for Women 18+, Ritual offers Prenatal and Postnatal multivitamins for those who are expecting or recently welcomed a little one into the family. The prenatal has 12 key ingredients to support nutrient needs all packed into two pills a day. That’s right – two pills! Plus, the delayed-release capsule feature is designed to be gentle on an empty stomach*. The brand has also released a Synbiotic+ and Protein.
