Essential for Women 18+
Ritual leads the industry in supply chain transparency, allowing users to see the exact source of every nutrient. The delayed-release capsule and mint tab make it the best option for those who experience nausea with traditional multivitamins.
Quality & Materials
Focuses only on the 9 'gap' nutrients most women lack; uses vegan-certified D3 from lichen and chelated iron for easier digestion.
Evidence & Testing
Conducted a university-led clinical trial on their specific formulation to prove nutrient level increases in the blood.
Brand Transparency
Industry-leading transparency; their website features an interactive map of every ingredient supplier and manufacturing site.
Value Assessment
Poor value compared to Thorne or Life Extension; you are paying a significant premium for the branding, subscription model, and specific capsule technology.
Why Not Alternatives?
Beats standard shelf-stable multis by using a 'beadlet-in-oil' technology that keeps fat-soluble and water-soluble ingredients separate and stable without needing excessive binders.
