Our naturopaths' notes
PhytoMulti with Iron is a Metagenics tablet multivitamin that adds a wide range of plant extracts, such as citrus bioflavonoids, pomegranate, grape seed and blueberry, to its vitamins and minerals. Its label states it provides antioxidants, vitamins and minerals for the maintenance of good health. People who ask our naturopaths about it usually want one daily foundation product, with iron included, instead of several separate bottles.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the label mention iron and children? Each package holds enough iron to seriously harm a child, so keep it out of reach. If you already take separate iron, ask a practitioner which version suits you.
Is this the right product for me? Needs vary with diet and medications, so speak with your physician or book a consultation with one of our naturopaths to choose between the iron and iron-free versions.
Natural health products should be used as directed on the label. Consult your health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.
