See all 4 picks and why ↓

Amazon's multivitamin shelf runs from budget gummies to practitioner capsules, and the right one depends mostly on your age, sex and how you like to take it. We compared four widely sold options, a 50+ men's tablet, a two-capsule practitioner multi and two gummies, by what's on the label.

What to look for

Made for your age and sex
Men's and 50+ formulas usually leave out iron, which most men and postmenopausal women don't need from a supplement; Centrum Silver Men 50+ is iron-free. If you menstruate, you may need a formula with iron, so ask your doctor.
Gummies vs tablets and capsules
Gummies are easy to take but contain some sugar and often leave out minerals such as iron and calcium. Tablets and capsules fit more in. Check the Supplement Facts for what's actually included.
Cost per day, not per bottle
Divide the price by the days of supply: OLLY's 90 gummies at two a day last 45 days, while Centrum's 200 tablets at one a day last 200. Subscribe & Save, where offered, suits something you take daily.
Testing and expiration
Star ratings don't measure what's in the bottle; marks like USP Verified or NSF do. Buy from Amazon or the brand and check the expiration date, since vitamins lose potency over time.
Add up your other supplements
Some multis give several times the Daily Value of certain nutrients. If you also take vitamin D, zinc or other single supplements, add them up so you stay within the upper limits.

Frequently asked questions

Which multivitamin on Amazon is best for men?

Over 50, Centrum Silver Men 50+ is a simple, iron-free one-a-day. If you'd rather chew, OLLY Men's covers vitamins A, C, D, E, the B vitamins and zinc in two gummies, and Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day is the premium capsule option.

Which multivitamin on Amazon is best for women?

vitafusion Women's gummies cover A, C, D, E, B6, B12, folate and biotin in two gummies at a low cost per day. Thorne Basic Nutrients 2/Day isn't sex-specific and suits anyone who wants active nutrient forms. If you're pregnant or trying to be, ask your doctor about a prenatal instead.

Are gummy vitamins as good as pills?

They can cover the basics, and you're more likely to take something you enjoy. But gummies contain some sugar and often leave out minerals like iron and calcium, so compare the label with what you need.

Can a multivitamin with biotin affect blood tests?

Yes. The FDA has warned that biotin can interfere with some lab tests, including certain heart and thyroid tests. If your multi contains biotin, as vitafusion Women's does, tell your doctor before any blood work.
