Do You Really Need a Multivitamin? Here's My Honest Take

25 April


hi! it’s Vanniya again 🌸 so this week I wanna talk about something I used to totally ignore: multivitamins. Like, are they actually necessary or just expensive pee? 😅 Let me share what I’ve learned (and felt) since adding them to my routine.


Why I Started Taking a Multivitamin

It started during exam season. I was juggling med school, gym sessions, and barely sleeping. I felt low-energy, got sick easier, and my skin? dull. A trainer friend told me, “Girl, you're working hard but not feeding your body the basics.” So I tried a women’s daily multivitamin with iron, vitamin D, B12 — all the usual suspects.




What Happened After 2 Weeks

Okay... not magic, but I felt more *stable*. My mood swings mellowed out, my focus was sharper, and I didn’t crash by 3PM anymore. Also, my skin lowkey looked more glowy? That was a cute bonus lol.

Multivitamin Myths I Learned

  • “You get everything from food” — not if you’re skipping meals or dieting. Real life isn’t that balanced.
  • “They’re dangerous long-term” — sure, if you megadose. But a regulated daily formula is safe for most.
  • “They fix everything” — nah, you still need sleep, hydration, and chill time too 🧘‍♀️





Who Might Actually Benefit

Based on my own vibe and what I’ve read, I think multivitamins help if you:

  • Train regularly (like gym, sports, cardio)
  • Have a super busy or stressful schedule
  • Follow a restricted or low-calorie diet
  • Just want to cover the basics, no drama




My Personal Multivitamin Tips

  • Take it with breakfast — it won’t upset your tummy
  • Stick to one with clean, simple ingredients
  • Don’t expect superpowers. Expect support.

I’m still not a “supplement everything” type of girl, but I think multivitamins are like a lil bodyguard for your wellness routine. Worth trying if you feel like your energy’s off or you’re not recovering like you used to.

Hope this helped, friend! message me if you’ve tried any you love 💬💛
