Multivitamins

Multivitaminpräparate ersetzen keine gesunde Ernährung, sie können diese jedoch mit zusätzlichen Nährstoffen abrunden und so einen Beitrag beim Erhalt von Vitalität und Wohlbefinden* leisten. Vor allem in Zeiten eines erhöhten Bedarfs oder in besonderes fordernden Lebensphasen kann die ergänzende Einnahme eines Multivitaminproduktes sinnvoll sein. Das macht Multipräparate u.a. für werdende Mütter, stillende Frauen, Heranwachsende, Sporttreibende sowie gestresste Menschen zu einer Überlegung, die‘s wert ist.

Among the multi-preparations there are multivitamin complexes that provide all 13 fat- and water-soluble vitamins "in one". Such products are perfect for the daily basic intake of vitamins – vital compounds that our organism needs to function properly*. But multivitamin supplements containing all 13 vitamins are only one option: there are also more specialised supplements that contain only B vitamins, for example, or a vitamin and mineral mixture with other nutrients or plant substances, so that everyone can discover a complex that meets their own needs.

Multivitamin formulations are one of the traditional food supplements. Due to the countless combination and dosage options that are possible in the development of multivitamins, there are countless multi-variants on the market. But who wants to settle for standard products when you can just as easily buy a top multi-supplement from BIOGENA, the prominent Austrian manufacturer?

BIOGENA manufactures the best multivitamins. The renowned BIOGENA product development team has developed a range of unique multivitamin formulations, each of which provides a customised spectrum of selected nutrients. What all nutrient compositions have in common is their focus on the best ingredients, optimum dosages and the highest quality standards. In addition, BIOGENA multi-preparations – as with the production of BIOGENA preparations in general – do not contain any unnecessary processing additives.

However, BIOGENA goes one important step further and combines the selected vitamins, minerals and trace elements with plant extracts, secondary plant ingredients and/or selected bacterial strains to go that extra mile.

What are the differences between the various BIOGENA multivitamin formulations?

BIOGENA offers a full range of multivitamin formulations to ensure there is "something for everyone". To help you find the right BIOGENA multi-preparation for you, we have summarised the most important information below.

Multivitamin capsules

Multivitamin formulations in capsule form often boast a high degree of purity, as they generally do not contain any additives. Capsule products are also hygienic and have a relatively long shelf life.

Multivitamin tablets

When buying multivitamin products in tablet form, it is essential to check the list of ingredients. Many of these products not only provide micronutrients, but also contain additives such as binding and anti-caking agents. 

Vitamin juice - the multivitamin supplement in liquid form

People with difficulty swallowing or those who prefer a flavoured product can opt for multivitamin supplements in liquid form. A watchful eye should always be kept on the ingredients list for these vitamin juices, which should display as few additives as possible.

Multivitamin powder

Multivitamins in powder form are also suitable for people with swallowing difficulties. It is worth taking a look at the list of ingredients here too - after all, who wants to consume unwanted additives every day in addition to the valuable micronutrients?

Turning somersaults, chasing rainbows, discovering the world. Childhood not only has emotional significance for us humans, it is also incredibly important for the rest of our lives. In order for children to realise their full potential, their growing bodies need the same micronutrients as adults through a healthy and balanced diet. However, the amounts needed by the body naturally differ from adults due to the differences in growth and life phases. It is also possible for children to supplement their healthy diet with multivitamin supplements specially developed for children. These contain child-appropriate dosages of the nutrients.

For this reason, there are multivitamin formulations that have been specially tailored to the physiological needs of children. These multi-supplements are no substitute for a healthy diet – especially not for children – but they can still contribute to the micronutrient intake of adolescents.
