With so many women’s vitamins on the market, picking the right one can feel weirdly overwhelming. Pretty labels and trendy ingredients aside, a lot of options are loaded with stuff you don’t want—or missing what you actually need.

So before you grab whatever’s on sale (or that giant horse pill you’ll never take), here are 4 things to avoid when choosing your women’s multivitamin—and why EllaOla checks all the right boxes.

1. Avoid Vitamins That Skip Iron

Iron is essential—especially for women in their menstruating years. Low iron is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies and can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and low immunity.

What to look for: A multivitamin with gentle, well-absorbed iron that won’t upset your stomach.

✅ EllaOla Women's Unflavored Multivitamin includes iron in an easy-to-digest form to help support energy and vitality—no harsh side effects.

2. Avoid Synthetic Folate (Look for Methylated folate)

Many supplements use synthetic folic acid, which isn’t always easily processed by the body—especially for women with common MTHFR gene variations.

What to look for: A multivitamin with methylated folate (L-5-MTHF), the active form your body can actually use.

✅ EllaOla Unflavored Multivitamin includes methylated folate, supporting everything from energy to hormone balance to reproductive health.

3. Avoid Gummy Vitamins Loaded with Sugar

Spoiler: If your vitamin tastes like candy, there’s a good chance it’s actually candy. Many gummies are full of added sugars, artificial colors, and low-quality ingredients. Not exactly what your body needs.

What to look for: Clean formulas with no added sugar, no fillers, and real, research-backed nutrients.

✅ EllaOla Unflavored Multivitamin is completely unflavored and sugar-free. No sweeteners, no dyes—just what your body actually needs.

4. Avoid Pills You Dread Taking

Let’s be honest: if your vitamin is a giant chalky tablet, you’re probably not taking it consistently. And consistency is key when it comes to seeing real benefits.

What to look for: A format that fits easily into your routine.

✅ EllaOla Women's Unflavored Multivitamin is a tasteless powder that blends into your favorite drink or food—smoothies, coffee, oatmeal, yogurt, you name it. No pills. No fuss. Just feel-good support, daily.
