How Does Multivitamin Complex Work?
The high-dose B-Complex at 25mg each supports cellular energy production, nerve function, and red blood cell formation — at these therapeutic levels, they address deficiencies common in athletes and high-stress individuals more effectively than standard RDA-dose multivitamins. Vitamin B6 at 20mg and B12 at 100mcg specifically support cognitive function, mood, and homocysteine regulation. Choline Bitartrate at 161mg supports neurotransmitter synthesis and liver fat metabolism. CoQ10 at 10mg supports mitochondrial energy in heart and muscle cells. Green Tea Extract at 100mg and Grape Seed Extract at 50mg provide powerful polyphenol antioxidant protection. Vitamin D3 at 25mcg (1000 IU) supports immune regulation and calcium absorption. Vitamin K at 100mcg works with D3 to direct calcium into bones. Selenium and Chromium support thyroid and blood sugar metabolism respectively. L. Acidophilus at 150 million CFU supports gut health and enhances nutrient absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How is Applied Nutrition Multivitamin Complex different from a standard multivitamin?
It provides therapeutic-level B-Complex doses at 25mg each — significantly higher than standard RDA multivitamins — alongside Choline, CoQ10, probiotics, and high-potency antioxidant extracts not found in regular multivitamins. It is designed for active adults with higher nutritional demands.
Q: Why does my urine turn bright yellow after taking this multivitamin?
Bright yellow urine is caused by Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) being excreted by the kidneys at higher doses — completely harmless and expected with any high-dose B-Complex supplement. It is a normal sign the supplement is being absorbed and metabolised.
Q: Can Applied Nutrition Multivitamin Complex be taken alongside a protein supplement or pre-workout?
Yes, it complements sports supplements well. However, check combined Zinc, Calcium, and Vitamin D totals across all products you use daily to avoid exceeding safe upper limits, particularly for fat-soluble vitamins.
Q: Is this multivitamin suitable for women as well as men?
Yes, the comprehensive formula supports energy, immunity, bone health, and cognitive function for both men and women. Women of childbearing age should note the Vitamin A content at 400mcg and consult their gynaecologist before use during pregnancy.
