Product Description
Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health is a complete natural daily multivitamin and mineral supplement containing more than 50 nutritional ingredients, all in a special base of green superfoods and organic fruits and vegetables.
There are no gimmicks, no shortcuts, only researched nutrients that really make a difference. Simply put, Optimal Multivitamin from Seeking Health provides the nutrients you need for better health.
Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or other side effects. Since Optimal Multivitamin does not contain Iron, it is a good choice of multivitamin for men or women. If you are looking for a multivitamin for children, consider Kids Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health.
Each ingredient in this potent multivitamin formula is chosen with its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety being taken into account. If your body is unable to absorb the nutrients in a multivitamin supplement, there’s no way your body can use them for better health.
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in the developed world eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are essential for:
- Healthy Immune System Function
- Cardiovascular health
- Digestive Health
- Improved Moods
- Increased Energy
- Daily Detoxification Support
Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production, the maintenance of healthy blood cells, the nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in the safest and most bioavailable forms, and the whole formula is encapsulated in easy to digest vegetarian capsules that are easier to absorb than compressed tablets.
Cheaper, less bioavailable nutrients in a multivitamin become money going down the drain. The type of multivitamin also makes a difference. Try dropping your multivitamin in water - and come back the next day - your multivitamin should be completely dissolved. If it does not - then this is similar to what it may be doing in your body. This is not the only way to test the quality of your multivitamin or mineral.
It does take eight capsules per day to make a complete serving. Some may ask "Are we Nuts?". In short, No! Dr Benjamin Lynch, ND founder and CEO of Seeking Health believes if you want to have an effective daily nutritional supplement without having to open 5 bottles or buy 5 other products, then you need to have a multivitamin with numerous capsules. This is more cost-effective, more preventative against disease and easier in the long run. If you go somewhere, you just need your Optimal Multivitamin, fish oil and vitamin D3, which is what you should aim for regarding daily nutrition.
Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health is also a potent antioxidant formula that includes natural beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, L-cysteine/N-acetyl-L-cysteine, lutein, lycopene, and red wine proanthocyanidins. This is an important addition to a daily vitamin and mineral supplement, since toxins in our everyday environment are as much of a factor in illness as nutritional deficiencies.

Questions on Optimal Multivitamin - 240 Vegetarian Capsules
- SeattleRain4/11/11 4:25 PM
- I see Optimal Multivitamin has 8 capsules per serving. I cannot take that many at a time. How do you recommend I take it?
- I personally take Optimal Multivitamin and find it to be the most effective and manageable when I split the 8 capsules in 3 doses. I take 3 capsules with breakfast, 3 capsules at lunch and the last two capsules around 2 pm to prevent the afternoon 'crash'. If I feel well at 2 pm, I do not take the other two capsules. Taking 3 capsules twice a day with food is great and the last two capsules may not be necessary; however, in order to obtain all the nutrients on the label, I recommend the method of 3:3:2. One may also take 4 capsules twice a day. Given that the nutrients in Optimal Multivitamin are well-absorbed, one should not experience stomach upset when taking this many capsules. However, if one has a sensitive stomach, do the 3:3:2 dosing of Optimal Multivitamin. Never take a multivitamin within 5 hours of going to bed as it can keep you awake due to the potent B vitamin mix.

- After my consult, I purchased the MultiVitamin, Vit D, NAC, Priobiata, and Fish Oil. I want to maximize the effect of these by taking them at the right time in the right combinations. Can you confirm if this MV and Vit D (both Seeking Health brands) can be taken together (because of no iron interaction) or should these be separated? If separated, can Vit D be taken with any of the others that I bought?
Thank you!! - Hello - I thank you for taking the intiative. I intended to write your follow up today here on the forum but you beat me to it Vitamin D3 can be taken any time of day with a snack or even alone. I do not recommend taking the D3 with Optimal Multivitamin due to the amount. The amount of D3 may interfere with the other fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin A, E and K. Here are my recommendations to get the best effects from the products you have: - Optimal Multivitamin by Seeking Health: Take 3 capsules with breakfast, 3 at lunch and 2 capsules around 2 or 3 PM with a snack. Do not take Optimal Multivitamin within 6 hours of going to sleep as it can keep you awake. - Vitamin D3 5,000 IU or Liquid Vitamin D360 by Seeking Health: During winter months, take 1 capsule of Vitamin D3 5,000 IU any time of the day with a small snack, with the Fish Oil, or with dinner. Do not take it alongside the Optimal Multivitamin due to the potency. During the summer months, take 1 drop of Vitamin D which equates to 2,000 IU per day. More later... Dr Ben

- Dr. Ben,
My husband asked me to get him a multivitamin that requires him taking it only once a day and possibly one pill only, what's your best suggestion?
- There is no such thing if he desires disease prevention and health. If taking a quality multivitamin multicapsule formula only once per day, the excess nutrients are not absorbed and they are discreeted by the body. This is expensive and a waste. If taking a one-a-day vitamin, this is insufficient as the nutrients are commonly trash, formulations are incomplete. If he wants to keep it simple and get the basic nutrients, I recommend B Complex Plus and Trace Mineral Complex. He can take these all at once in the morning with or without food and he is getting a pretty complete spectrum of nutrients. Take 1 capsule of Trace Mineral Complex and 1 capsule of B Complex Plus He can get vitamin D from the sun or from liquid D3 The capsule sizes of B Complex Plus and Trace Mineral Complex are not that huge making it easier to swallow. Vitamin C can be received from fruits Vitamin A can be received from carrots Vitamin E from healthy nuts and oils. He should find this recommendation pretty easy to do. He is not the only one with this request and understandably so. It is difficult for some to swallow pills and countless ones a day. In health, Dr Ben

- Do the AMT values relate to one capsule or to eight?9/19/11 4:30 PM
- Vitamin D and Vitamin K2/17/12 8:13 AM
- I just recently found you Dr Ben and am amazed by your research, passion, ability to effectively communicate and educate people, and how genuine you are in wanting to help people. It totally shows in your writings and videos. I’m hetero A1298C and am looking to start with a quality multi. I’m interested in purchasing your Optimal multi but have a few questions about it.
1) Would this be the best place for me to start or do you recommend doing testing prior to starting the multi? If testing first, is there a test that will help identify other supplements that I might need?
2) The Supplement facts state there is 200 of Vit D but if you click on the label it says there is 500 Vit D. Which one is correct?
3) In one of your prior Q&A responses about Optimal multi you mentioned, “I do not recommend taking the D3 with Optimal Multivitamin due to the amount. The amount of D3 may interfere with the other fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin A, E and K.” But, I don’t see Vit K in the product. Is there Vit K? I’ve heard that you need to take Vit K2 with Calcium. Is there truth to this?
I’ll do more reading on your blogs/forum to educate myself and will probably be asking more questions or might even schedule a consult.
Thanks for doing what you do.
- Hello - Thank you for the compliment - much appreciated ;) 1) Optimal Multivitamin is a pretty good place to start - as it contains numerous nutrients which are needed in order for the body to function well. It is also safe. If taking 3 capsules twice daily, you should experience improved well-being and energy without any side effects. I also highly recommend Vitamin D360 - 1,000 IU per 25 lbs of body weight - daily. Along with ProBiota 12 - one capsule after dinner. Along with Optimal Fish Oil - 2 capsules taken with any meal once daily. Those are the top recommendations for general health. If you are dealing with issues that are more intense, then other recommendations are likely needed- lifestyle, diet and nutrients. I don't recommend people do lab testing right away. I prefer they make some lifestyle, dietary and nutritional changes first and see how they do. If stuck, then we evaluate lab testing. 2) Thanks for catching that! There are 500 IU of vitamin D3 in 8 capsules. If you take less than 8 capsules, you receive less than that. We will fix that error! 3) The body has only a limited amount of receptors and the ability to absorb nutrients. If we take an overwhelming amount of nutrients at once, then you are making what I call 'expensive urine' because you simply urinate out the nutrients which cannot be absorbed. I like to optimize things - including absorption. This is why I recommend the Vitamin D360 liquid to be taken in the evening or anytime away from a comprehensive multivitamin. There is no vitamin K in Optimal Multivitamin - correct - I was listing off other fat soluble vitamins and was on a roll ;) It is recommended to take Vitamin K with calcium - correct. This is why you find vitamin K2 in Bone Nutrients. http://www.seekinghealth.com/bone-supplements-bone-healing-bone-nutrients.html Ask away ;) Best Dr Ben

- Are these safe to take while pregnant?3/20/12 2:40 PM
- I'm having a hard time finding a good prenatal vitamin. Does this multivitamin contain anything that might be problematic for pregnancy?
- Hello - Yes, this is safe to take while pregnant. You will need additional methylfolate and methylcobalamin; however - and additional Vitamin D3, calcium, magnesium. Consider taking 1/2 tablet of Active B12 with Methylfolate under the tongue in the morning upon waking: http://www.seekinghealth.com/sublingual-active-b12-metafolin-seeking-health.html Consider taking 3 drops daily of Vitamin D360 which provides 6,000 IU of vitamin D3: http://www.seekinghealth.com/vitamin-d-drops-liquid-vitamin-d360.html Additional calcium may be obtained from Chia Seeds: http://www.seekinghealth.com/chia-seeds.html 1 oz of Chia Seeds contain nearly 200 mg of calcium. It is best to make Chia Seed Gel for best absorption. Consider taking 1 capsule of Optimal Magnesium twice daily with meals: http://www.seekinghealth.com/optimal-magnesium-seeking-health.html Have a great pregnancy ;) In health, Dr Ben

- Do the red wine proanthocyanidins actually have red wine in them? We don't drink wine, etc., and I wouldn't want to take it in a supplement. Thank you!
- Hello - The red wine proanthocyanidins actually come from the skin and seeds of grapes. The proanthocyanidin compounds are extracted from the grapes using alcohol but there is no alcohol in the finished product. In health, Dr Ben

Hello -
You may take the Kid's Multivitamin. Consider taking 3 capsules with breakfast and 3 with lunch.http://www.seekinghealth.com/best-multivitamin-for-kids.html
You may also consider the Optimal Multivitamin Chewable. Consider chewing 2 tablets with breakfast and 2 with lunch: http://www.seekinghealth.com/optimal-multivitamin-60-chewable-tablets-seeking-health.html
One of those should do the trick! ;)

- Do these vitamins contain soy? I have hypothyroidism and have read to stay away from soy. Not sure if that means any type of soy or if maybe fermented would be ok, which is what I've seen in other multivitamins.
Hello -
The vitamin E is derived from soy - as most vitamin E's are. However, the amount of soy protein remaining in the vitamin E is next to nothing - if any.
A little bit of soy while hypothyroid is ok; a lot is not.

I am compound heterozygous for MTHFR, have Hashimotos thyroiditis and gluten intolerance. All these things combined to create the perfect storm in my body over the last 18 months where I struggled to function as a wife and mother to two young children. I have put in a lot of hard work and tried many different things to feel better to see only incremental improvements in my health. I eventually started on folinic acid building up slowly and felt so much better the very first day. Over time I researched more and realised that although the optimal multi is expensive, it gives me most things I need in one product, and even with the international postage costs, if I buy in bulk, it still works out cheaper than the combination of other supplements I was on.Effectiveness Purity Quality
On the first day I started taking these capsules I noticed an immediate boost to my energy and mood and this has accumulated over time to the point where I now feel the best I've ever felt. I take 3 + 3 or 3 + 2 +1 if I think I might have an afternoon slump (though these are rare now!).
We have just begun the 5:2 fasting program and because I thought I might feel queasy on the capsules on an empty stomach, I didn't take my lunch time dose two days in a row. By the the second night I had a severe night terror (these started with my thyroid issues but hadn't had one since beginning these vitamins) and tried to push my husband out of bed to 'protect' him from something that was coming down onto our bed!!!
I now realise that this is what my body has needed my whole life and I will never stop taking them.
My only concern with these vitamins are the vegetable extracts in them and whether these could have a goitrogenic effect in anyone with thyroid issues. I do wonder whether the chewables might be a safer option for me in this regard? I am about to place a bulk order for 6 months supply to save on postage so if Dr. Ben is reading this then I would really appreciate some feedback on this. I already take DIM so am aware that perhaps these are fermented and maybe actually good for me?
Congratulations on a great product. I have recommended to several friends who have similar health problems and my children are thriving on the kids' multivitamins also. (Posted on 4/28/13) - Review by Susan

I am newly diagnosed with mthfr 677t/1298c. I have been on 1mg of methyl folate successfully for one to one and a half weeks (felt amazing!). Then, I attempted to add another mg and became overmethylated. I took a two week break from folate then switched to this multivitamin in order to be able to start again below 1mg. Since starting the multivitamin, I continue to be easily overmethylated (even taking just .2 mg) and now have been getting irregular heart beats (rapid, heavy thudding, palpitations). I am now seeing a cardiologist.Effectiveness Purity Quality
Dr Ben, I do not think it is the product’s quality. I am just hoping you may see this and find a moment to give me any ideas as to an explanation. The heart stuff does seem to correlate to the taking of the multivitamin. I am not sure if it could be due to folate and all folate does or if it has to do with something else in the multivitamin. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
I am 34. I have chronic neck and back pain issues, peripheral neuropathy, trouble concentrating and handling stress and emotions, and have a homocysteine of 13.7.
NOTE FROM DR BEN:
If one is experiencing symptoms of overmethylation, it may be wise to stop all nutrients which support methylation for a bit, including a multivitamin such as this. Consider Niacin 50 mg a few times a day for a few days before resuming methylation support again.

My 13 year-old daughter seems to be doing very well with the O.M.V., and I am grateful it is such a comprehensive formula. I had a very bad reaction during my first 2 days of use despite the fact I started with a low dose. However, I am challenged by some gene mutations, an auto-immune disorder and hidden inflammation so I understand why I can't take this right now.

I started out slowly two months ago and now find that 4-a-day is good for me. I am homozygous A1298C and weigh 95 lbs. I tried the Sublingual Methlyfolate B12 Lozenge but found it was too potent.

After being on this multi for a month I feel better than I have felt in two decades! I suffer from heavy metal toxicity (A1298/under a doc's care) so I learned the hard way to start on just two a day and slowly build the dosage. My energy, initiative, and ability to organize have improved immensely. Plus, these vitamins don't make me nauseous! A first. I will stay on these for life!

I am not an expert on multi's or the quality of the ingredients - all I know is some are a lot better than others. After reading the details on the mthfr site I could feel the passion from Dr Lynch and his want to make a healther society.

I like this product because it is so well balanced and provides metafolin to treat my MTHFR deficiency. I do feel better since I have been taking it. For example, more energy. I do not like to take 8 pills though because I also have other supplements that I take. But overall, I love this product. I plan on using this product forever.

I wanted a Multivitamin that was compatible with my Homozygous C77T Gene Mutation. This was the only one I found on the market. After slowly increasing the dose until I could tolerate 8 tablets per day, it has been extremely beneficial for leg cramps, night and day sweats and even lowering Cholesterol Levels.

I have never taken a multi-vitamin before but this past year realized as I age that it is something I really need. It has really helped me overcome a lot of fatigue after using it for about 6 months consistenly. I only use 5 pills a day though ... 2-2-1 schedule. Seems to work for me.

I like the idea of these multivitamins and I definitely felt better taking them... but really- eight per day? I have a hard time making it work for my life. I am going to try the chewable ones. I found myself not taking them because I didn't have time to gag them down. That being said, I think they helped but just aren't convenient.Effectiveness Purity Quality
COMMENT FROM DR LYNCH:
Rory -
Thanks for the review.
It is impossible to make a very good multivitamin that does not require 6 or more capsules a day. I've seen a multivitamin with 15 capsules a day - it was very complete but that was definitely over the top.
What I typically recommend for people is to take 2 to 3 capsules with breakfast, 2 to 3 with lunch and, if needed due to crashing around 2 to 3 PM, take another 2 capsules with a snack. If you are not crashing in the afternoon, skip the 3rd dose.

We are very low income and so this is a bit expensive for us. My husband had brain surgery a year ago and we are working very hard to get him healthy again. Our older daughter has two MTHFR polymorphisms and we suspect that my husband does as well so we are careful to get him the methyl folate. It is great that it is in this multi vitamin. He does not take a full dosage because of the cost. He says that he can tell the difference when he takes the vitamin so we will be continuing for him, even at half dose. It is worth it for us.

I am compound heterozygote for the MTHFR gene, and so I wanted a quality multivitamin targeted for those who carry these alleles. This mutivitamin certainly fit the bill. (Posted on 1/10/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by buddakins

I have to say I didn't notice a measurable difference in my health after taking this vitamins. I was taking New Chapter, which I feel is a good product, but wanted to try something new to see if my energy levels increased. I would say they remaining the same. So it seems they are both quality products. (Posted on 1/10/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by JHC

This is the first multi-vit that I have ever taken without nausea. I also have noticed a huge improvement in my overall health and feeling of wellbeing. I had actually given up on multi-viamins until now. Great product! (Posted on 1/10/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by Glenn

Gives me energy. Burps like V8. Worth it. (Posted on 11/28/12)Purity Quality Effectiveness - Review by Caroline

Overall I really liked this multivitamin. I didn't always remember to take all eight or like that you had to take eight pills a day, but it makes sense that your body can only absorb so much at once. Would definitely buy it again. (Posted on 11/21/12)Purity Quality Effectiveness - Review by cdr

Love having a bio-available multivitamin. Even though you have to take 8 capsules per day, it's much less that taking the various supplements I was taking individually. (Posted on 10/24/12)Effectiveness Purity Quality

- Out of Stock items will display a link stating that the item is Out of Stock. A couple options exist here:
1. You may still purchase this item but do understand that there may be a delay of 7 to 14 days. We will send you an email when we are processing your order to ship.
2. You may click the Notify Me When In Stock link and we will automatically send you an email when that item arrives in our warehouse.
