A multivitamin is an easy way to provide your body with the essential nutrients that might be lacking from your diet. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the consistent presence of multivitamin components, such as folic acid and vitamin D, might lower your risk of serious diseases such as heart disease and various cancers. The website Consumeresearch ranks the top multivitamins for men in several categories.
Top Overall
The best overall multivitamin, according to Consumerresearch, is the Mega Men multivitamin from GNC. These vitamins contain significant levels of essential nutrients such as selenium, calcium, vitamin D and B vitamins without the presence of excess iron. Customers rank these pills as easy on the stomach, although some find the pills slightly too large to swallow comfortably. GNC Mega Men retails at $26 for 180 tablets, as of 2010.
Top All Natural
If you are looking for a multivitamin made from all-natural ingredients, Rainbow Light Men's One Multivitamin takes the top spot. This product contains very high levels of B vitamins, over 1,400 percent of the recommended daily value. This much vitamin B will not hurt you but is not necessary unless you have a vitamin B deficiency. This product is relatively expensive at at $19 for 90 tablets and provides no advantage over the best overall multivitamin, according to Consumerresearch, unless you prefer an all-natural product.
Top Vegetarian
If you live a vegetarian lifestyle and wish to take a multivitamin free of animal products, the top choice is Now Foods Adam Superior Men's Multiple Vitamin, according to Consumeresearch. Adam Superior Men's vegetarian formula contains many of the essential nutrients in top multivitamins as well as ingredients such as saw palmetto, coQ10 and ginko biloba. The price of Adam Superior Men's multivitamin is $17 for 120 tablets.
