Vitamins & Minerals
Choose a specific vitamin, mineral or blend according to what you want to supplement. Compare amounts in the full daily serving, other active ingredients and allergens. The highest dose or longest ingredient list is not, by itself, a measure of suitability.

Finding your way around vitamins and minerals
A practical guide to choosing and combining supplements by their actual ingredients.
Should I start with a multivitamin or an individual nutrient?
If you need a particular nutrient, a standalone product makes its amount easier to control. A multivitamin contains several ingredients whose servings cannot be adjusted independently. Even a ‘zinc’ name does not guarantee a single-ingredient product: BJP Zinc Bisglycinate Complex adds selenium, copper, chromium and ginger. Open the full ingredients before choosing.
How do I work out how many days a pack really lasts?
Divide the capsule count by the number in the recommended daily serving. BJP Multi-Immunity and Energy Magnesium each have 90 capsules with a 3-capsule serving, so they last 30 days. BJP Bioactive B-Vitamins Strong has 100 capsules and a one-capsule serving, so it lasts 100 days. For powders, compare pack weight with serving weight; calculate price per serving, not just per tub.
Does 100% NRV mean I need to get that amount from capsules every day?
No. NRV is a nutrient reference value used for food labelling, not an individual prescription or a safe upper limit. Food contributes to your intake too. A lower percentage need not mean a weak product, and a higher one is not automatically a better choice. What matters is your actual need, the amount per serving and any restrictions due to age, health or treatment.
How can I spot unnecessary overlap between supplements?
Compare the same nutrients in the full daily servings. BJP Multi-Immunity already contains vitamin D, zinc, iron and iodine; magnesium blends may also add vitamin B6. Taking two products in the morning and evening does not reduce their combined daily intake. First decide what you actually need to supplement, then choose an appropriate combination.
Is ‘plant-based capsule’ enough for a vegan diet or an allergy?
No, it describes only the shell. Puravia Ovovital contains calcium from eggshells, and Puhdistamo Triple Iron contains lactoferrin from milk. Check the source of active ingredients, the full ingredient list, and allergen and possible trace warnings. A lactose-free label also does not mean a product is suitable for a milk protein allergy.
