Do I actually need a multivitamin if I eat a balanced diet?
Even with healthy eating, modern agriculture has depleted soil nutrients by up to 40% since 1950. Plus, stress, hormonal changes, and busy schedules increase nutrient demands. A quality multivitamin fills gaps that diet alone can't, especially for iron, vitamin D, and B vitamins that women commonly lack.
What makes expensive multivitamins worth it vs. cheap drugstore brands?
Not all multivitamins are equal. Cheap versions often use synthetic forms your body can't absorb well, plus fillers and binders. PurePath uses bioavailable forms, regenerative organic botanicals (proven to have higher nutrient density), and third-party testing. You actually absorb what you pay for, making it more cost-effective per nutrient.
Why capsules instead of gummy vitamins?
Gummies require sugar or sweeteners to taste good, limiting nutrient potency and adding unnecessary ingredients. Capsules deliver higher concentrations of vitamins and minerals without fillers, coatings, or sugar, just pure nutrition your body needs.
Can't I just eat better instead of taking supplements?
Ideally, yes, but realistically, most women fall short. To get adequate vitamin D, you'd need 3 servings of fatty fish daily. For enough iron, 3+ servings of red meat. For folate, 6+ cups of leafy greens. A multivitamin works alongside healthy eating, not instead of it.
What specific nutrients do women need that men don't?
Women need more iron (menstrual loss), folate (reproductive health), calcium + vitamin D (bone density post-menopause), and B vitamins (hormonal balance). Our formula is calibrated specifically for these needs, not just a "unisex" vitamin relabeled for women.
What makes "regenerative organic" better than regular organic?
Regular organic avoids pesticides. Regenerative organic rebuilds soil health, creating nutrient-dense plants with up to 60% more vitamins and minerals. Our burdock and mugwort come from these farms, meaning you get more active compounds per capsule. It's the difference between good ingredients and exceptional ones.
