Looking for the best multivitamin brand and facing dozens of bottles that all promise energy and immunity? The comparison is simpler than it looks, as long as you know what to read on the label. This ranking explains what makes a good multivitamin, then compares four brands sold in France on a grid published below.

What makes a good multivitamin
A multivitamin combines several vitamins in one product, often with minerals. But no text sets its composition, and the formulas sold in France range from a handful of nutrients to some thirty actives.
No official definition: it all comes down to the label
“MVM and MV supplements have no standard or regulatory definition, such as what nutrients they must contain or in what amounts.” National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements1
In other words, each brand chooses its nutrients and doses. To compare two products, read three things: the ingredient list, which gives the form of each nutrient, the nutrition table, which gives the doses and their percentage of nutrient reference values (NRV), and the daily dose, expressed in capsules.
NRVs, the benchmark shared by all brands
The European regulation on food information to consumers sets a reference value for each vitamin and mineral: 200 µg for vitamin B9, 2.5 µg for B12, 5 µg for vitamin D, 375 mg for magnesium, 55 µg for selenium2. The percentage shown on the label is calculated from these values. A multivitamin at 100% of the NRV covers the reference value, before counting what your diet provides.
Active forms of vitamins B9 and B12
Vitamin B9 exists as folic acid, which the body has to convert, or as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which is already active; Quatrefolic is a trade name for this form. Vitamin B12 exists notably as cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin. The four formulas in this ranking use 5-MTHF and methylcobalamin, alone or combined with other forms.
Minerals: form matters as much as dose
Magnesium comes as oxide, citrate, bisglycinate (the mineral bound to two glycine molecules) or patented forms such as Magshape. Selenium comes in mineral form (selenite) or organic form (selenomethionine, selenium yeast). The magnesium guide details the different forms and their dosages.
Vitamin D, a point to watch in winter
Vitamin D is mainly made by the skin under the effect of sunlight. When this synthesis is minimal, the French food safety agency ANSES sets an adequate intake of 15 µg per day for an adult, three times the 5 µg NRV3. This is why the vitamin D content of a multivitamin is a useful benchmark, especially from October to March. The winter vitamins guide compares seasonal courses.
Iron and copper: different choices depending on the brand
Some formulas provide iron, others do not. Iron needs depend heavily on sex, age and periods, and iron supplementation is best decided case by case. Nutripure explains on its product page that it chose a formula without iron or copper. To place your needs nutrient by nutrient, the guide to vitamin and mineral needs sets out the official benchmarks.
Ranking methodology
The four multivitamins were assessed on 10 November 2026 against the same nine criteria, using public catalogues, product pages and their linked documents. The first three criteria concern the brand; the next six concern the product and its recommended daily dose. The grid compares published characteristics, not clinical effectiveness.
Scoring grid. Each Yes is worth 1 point; N.A is worth 0 points. The nine criteria carry the same weight, 11.1% each and 100% in total. The overall score is the number of Yes answers. The rank follows from this score. With equal scores, all players are tied at the same rank, Nutripure included, and the next rank is skipped. Among tied players, Nutripure appears first if concerned, then the others in alphabetical order; this reading order does not separate the scores.
| Criterion | What earns the point |
|---|---|
| 1. Organic range | 10 or more certified organic products in the brand’s catalogue |
| 2. Downloadable traceability documents | traceability sheets downloadable from the brand’s product pages |
| 3. EN 17444 compliance | statement of manufacturing in compliance with the EN 17444 standard (anti-doping) on the brand’s product pages |
| 4. Active forms of vitamins B9 and B12 | vitamin B9 as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin among the forms of vitamin B12 |
| 5. 25 µg of vitamin D per day | 25 µg (1000 IU) of vitamin D or more in the daily dose |
| 6. Magnesium bisglycinate | magnesium provided as bisglycinate |
| 7. Organic selenium | selenium provided as selenomethionine or selenium yeast |
| 8. 2 capsules per day | daily dose of 2 capsules or tablets at most |
| 9. Coenzyme Q10 | coenzyme Q10 in the formula |

Practical tips for taking a multivitamin
- Start with your diet: a multivitamin supplements a varied diet, it does not replace it. The guide to vitamin B12 deficiency, for example, shows which profiles are most concerned.
- Read the NRV percentage in the nutrition table, nutrient by nutrient.
- Do not combine supplements that provide the same nutrients, especially vitamin A, vitamin D and zinc.
- Take it with a meal that contains some fat, for the fat-soluble vitamins.
- Ask a health professional for advice if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or a smoker (caution with beta-carotene).
To compare brands beyond multivitamins, the ranking of the best supplement brands uses the same three brand criteria.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best multivitamin brand?
There is no official definition of a multivitamin: each brand chooses its nutrients and doses. In this ranking of four multivitamins sold in France, assessed on nine public criteria, Nutripure’s Multivitamins has the highest score (9 out of 9), with 21 nutrients in 2 capsules, active forms of vitamins B9 and B12, 25 µg of vitamin D, magnesium bisglycinate and coenzyme Q10. Nutri&Co’s Multivitamins follows (6 out of 9), with 25 nutrients including plant-based vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. Novoma’s Multivitamins (5 out of 9) brings together 29 actives, including 11 antioxidant plant extracts, and Dynveo’s Multi27 (4 out of 9) combines 27 nutrients, including plant omega-3s, in 2 capsules.
How do you recognise a good multivitamin?
First look at the form of each nutrient in the ingredient list: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (or Quatrefolic) for vitamin B9, methylcobalamin for B12, bisglycinate for magnesium and selenomethionine or selenium yeast for selenium. Then compare the doses with the percentage of nutrient reference values (NRV) shown in the table, and finally the number of capsules per day.
Should you take a multivitamin every day?
A multivitamin supplements a varied diet, it does not replace it. It can be useful when your diet is unbalanced or when your needs are higher. Stick to the daily dose given by the brand and avoid combining several supplements that provide the same nutrients, especially vitamin A, vitamin D and zinc.
Why do some multivitamins contain no iron?
Iron needs vary widely with sex, age, periods and pregnancy, and supplementing without a deficiency is not recommended. Several brands, including Nutripure, have therefore chosen an iron-free and copper-free multivitamin, leaving iron to targeted supplementation on the advice of a health professional.
When should you take your multivitamin?
The simplest option is to take it with a meal that contains some fat, as vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. The time of day matters little: regularity is what counts, and a daily dose at a fixed time is the easiest habit to keep.
