The short answer
The five multivitamins we compared are nothing alike: one provides 12 times more vitamin D than Dynveo, the fifth contains none, none contains iron, and magnesium is present in only two, at 40% and 33% of the requirement. Before comparing prices, you therefore need to compare what is in them. For most adults, a multivitamin is not the right answer: targeting the nutrient that is lacking is more effective and cheaper.
What a daily dose contains
| Nutrient | Dynveo Multi27 (2 capsules) | Nutri&Co (3 capsules) | Nutrimuscle (1 capsule) | Novoma (4 capsules) | Sensilab Essentials Multivitamins (1 effervescent tablet) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 | 5 µg | 25 µg | 60 µg | 25 µg | none |
| Vitamin B12 | 5 µg | 2.7 µg | 4.24 µg | present, methylcobalamin | 2.5 µg |
| Vitamin B9 | 200 µg, methylfolate | 200 µg, Quatrefolic | present | present, Quatrefolic | 200 µg, folic acid |
| Vitamin C | 80 mg | 80 mg | 367.6 mg | 160 mg | 80 mg |
| Vitamin A | 400 µg, beta-carotene | 800 µg | present | 800 µg, dunaliella | none |
| Vitamin K2 | 56 µg | 80 µg | K1 only | 25 µg | none |
| Zinc | 10 mg | 10 mg | none | 10 mg | none |
| Selenium | 22 µg | 30 µg | none | 33 µg | none |
| Iodine | 75 µg | present, from bladderwrack extract | none | 150 µg | none |
| Magnesium | none | 150 mg | none | 125 mg | none |
| Iron | none | none | none | none | none |
| Price | 27.90 EUR for 60 capsules | 27.90 EUR for 60 capsules | 14.95 EUR for 30 capsules | 26.90 EUR for 120 capsules | 9.99 EUR for 20 effervescent tablets |
| Cost per day | 0.93 EUR | cannot be calculated | 0.50 EUR | 0.90 EUR | 0.50 EUR |
Nutri&Co’s cost per day is not calculated: its page states 60 capsules for 30 days at 3 capsules a day, which does not add up. We apply the same rule as for its omega-3: no figure rather than a wrong one.
At the usual price, Sensilab works out at 0.50 EUR a day, the same as Nutrimuscle, but for only 20 days per box and with no vitamin D or minerals.
Three differences that change the choice
Vitamin D ranges from 0 to 60 µg
This is the biggest gap in the table, and it is not trivial. Anses, the French food safety agency, sets the adequate intake at 15 µg a day and the safe upper limit at 100 µg for an adult. Nutrimuscle’s 60 µg therefore represent 60% of that limit on their own. If you already take a separate vitamin D, which is common in winter, the total can exceed it. Conversely, Dynveo’s 5 µg cover only a third of the requirement and do not replace winter supplementation. Sensilab contains none at all: no risk of stacking, but no coverage either. Nutri&Co and Novoma, at 25 µg, cover the adequate intake with a margin below the safe limit. Our vitamin D comparison gives the benchmarks.
None contains iron, and that is deliberate
Iron accumulates in men and post-menopausal women, who rarely need it as a supplement. Its absence is a good default choice. However, a woman who still has periods and wants to cover her iron intake will not find it in any of these five products.
Magnesium is almost absent
Only Nutri&Co and Novoma contain it: 150 mg (40% of the reference value) and 125 mg (33%). Magnesium is nonetheless one of the minerals most often lacking in the diet. The problem is physical: a useful dose does not fit in two or three capsules with everything else. Our magnesium comparison deals with the question separately.
Should you take a multivitamin?
For a healthy adult who eats a varied diet, studies do not show a clear benefit from taking a multivitamin continuously. The real shortfalls in France are targeted and well known: vitamin D in winter, B12 in vegans, iron in some women, magnesium fairly often. A targeted supplement answers each of these shortfalls better than a formula that half-covers ten of them.
A multivitamin still has a place in specific situations: a restricted diet, a period of low-calorie dieting, an older person who eats little. In those cases, choose it according to what you are missing: Nutrimuscle if vitamin D is your priority and you take no other, Dynveo if you want zinc, iodine and selenium, Nutri&Co or Novoma if magnesium matters, Novoma if you also want bioactive forms of the B vitamins and vitamin K2, Sensilab if you only want B, C and E vitamins at 100% of the reference values, with no minerals or vitamin D.
