My Daily Multivitamin Ritual
Over the years, it has become increasingly obvious to me how important it is to be proactive and treat your body well NOW, so we can continue to be healthy + thrive as we get older.
I don’t share a lot of supplements, because I’m very picky about them (you should be too!), and there are only a select few that I take regularly because I make a conscious effort to get most of my nutrients from food. I try to keep things simple, and when I eat vibrant foods, I feel vibrant! However, there are some gaps that diet alone doesn’t always fill so that’s where my Ritual multivitamin comes in.
Here are a few reasons I take Ritual:
TRANSPARENCY
The Ritual vitamin capsules are literally transparent which makes them really pretty to look at - something I’ve never said about a multivitamin before! But going deeper than that… Ritual has transparency with a traceable supply chain, so you know that their partners care as much as they do when it comes to both the nutrients that are included and the quality standards. Supplements can be notoriously hard to get information on and oftentimes it can feel like you’re guessing, but with Ritual, their nutrient + manufacturing details are easily accessible and laid out on their website.
SIMPLICITY
The Ritual multivitamin has 9 key nutrients, and they have all been carefully selected so there aren’t extras or mystery stuff thrown in there like shady fillers, colorants, or additives. Some traditional multivitamins may have a big ol’ list of nutrients - some of which you’re probably better off getting directly from food. Ritual’s nutrients, on the other hand, are specifically chosen - both what they include and what they don’t. The nutrients are high quality, traceable to their manufacturers, and in absorbable forms, so your body can actually use what you’re taking.
FDA Disclaimer: These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
^Also, just FYI… the FDA doesn’t approve any vitamin or supplement, because it treats nutritional supplements as a subset of food products rather than drugs.
CONSISTENCY
They have a subscription service which makes it really easy to make and stick to a routine without needing to remember to stock up when I run out. There’s free shipping, and you can choose the delivery date or cancel the subscription anytime. I’m a big believer in being purposeful with time, so getting this delivered without even having to think about it is a little thing that makes life way easier.
One of the trickiest parts of supplementing for me has been actually remembering to take it! But the Ritual branding is so pretty, so I don’t mind keeping it out on my countertop which helps me remember. Andrew and I take our multis together every morning at the same time as we feed our dogs, so it’s just part of our morning ritual now.
If you've been wanting to include a multivitamin in your routine, then I would definitely recommend doing your own research on Ritual to see if they meet your criteria. They more than meet my standards with their simple, quality nutrients, sourcing transparency, and overall I just love their vibe as a women-led company. They're getting the job done all around!
