Metagenics PhytoMulti with Iron Multivitamin Tablets

Overview

Metagenics PhytoMulti with Iron is a daily multivitamin in 60 tablets combining methylfolate, vitamins A through K, zinc and B6 with 18 mg of iron bisglycinate, formulated non-GMO and gluten-free.

This multivitamin uses iron bisglycinate rather than more common iron salts, a chelated form some brands favor for better tolerance, and pairs it with methylfolate instead of folic acid, the methylated form some people process more readily. The phytonutrients positioning in the title points to added plant-derived compounds beyond the core vitamin and mineral list, though the attribute data does not break those out individually.

• Vitamins A through K plus zinc and B6
• 18 mg iron bisglycinate per serving
• Methylfolate instead of folic acid
• Non-GMO, gluten-free, 60 tablets

Who it's for

Suits adults wanting a full-spectrum multivitamin that includes iron and uses methylated folate and chelated iron rather than standard forms. Not the right fit for anyone who needs an iron-free multivitamin, since iron is built into this formula at a meaningful 18 mg dose.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Iron bisglycinate is chelated to a form some people tolerate with less digestive upset than ferrous sulfate, and methylfolate skips the conversion step the body otherwise needs to activate folic acid, which is the rationale behind choosing these forms over standard ones.
