You’re free to rush or delay an order or cancel your subscription at any time, right from your account page.
Each batch of our multivitamins is tested for identity, purity, strength, and composition so we can be sure that what’s on the label is what’s in the capsules. We also complete third-party testing to help ensure our products are compliant with regulations and guidelines for heavy metals, microbes, and major allergens and to help assure the quality and safety of our products. Essential for Men 18+ has been independently certified for quality and purity. It is Non-GMO Project Verified.

Additionally, your first month is shipped in a recyclable box, and recurring orders are shipped in mailers made from 100% recycled content (the paper used to make our mailers is 100% garbage-repurposed newsprint and plant fibers). Any collateral included is also made of 100% recycled materials.

Supporting your bone, heart, and brain health are what's important for the long term. While many people feel a difference, some don’t, and that’s okay. It’s what’s happening inside that counts. Calcium-helper nutrients Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Boron help maintain bone health, while a combination of Omega-3 DHA from microalgae and methylated B12 help support brain health.*

Only multi that doesn't upset my stomach
2024-04-15
I've tried several multivitamins before and they all gave me some stomach issues. However, this one has no problem (taking this for almost 3 months). One con is that it has a strong fishy smell despite the mint scent which causes bad fishy burps that last for around 30 ish minutes.
Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.
