Our products are purchased as a subscription. After your initial purchase, orders are automatically sent every 30 days to keep you on track. That said, it’s your Ritual: We’ll send you a notification each month a few days before we charge you and ship your next bottle. 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 50+ has been independently certified for quality and purity. It is Non-GMO Project Verified.
The bottle for Essential for Men 50+ is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and is made of #1 PET plastic, which is highly recyclable curbside. The caps on our multivitamin bottles are #5 and are made of polypropylene.
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.

Love the product
08/11/2023
I've had no issues and love the smell of it. Most multivitamins smell and taste pretty bad, but not yours. It makes it a lot easier to take regularly when I'm not gagging while trying to choke down the pill.
Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.

Hubby likes these

My husband is taking these and he says he just feels better overall since starting these a couple months ago. He likes that he can take them without food and they don’t make him sick. They have a cool minty aftertaste that helps to cover up the omega fishy taste.
Yes, I'd tell a friend to take this product.
