- Product Information
- Providing the full gamut of essential nutrients, Multi-Guard® Active is the perfect multi to support the nutritional needs of people on plant-based diets. Since key nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron and iodine tend to be under represented in vegan diets we’ve included them in this formula at relevant levels.
Multi-Guard® Active delivers excellent levels of zinc, 10μg of vitamin D in the preferred, highly absorbable form of D3, cholecalciferol, vitamin C, and selenium, all of which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. You can learn more about vitamin D3 here.
This broad spectrum formula provides a comprehensive spread of B vitamins particularly vitamins B2, B3, and B12, pantothenic acid, and folic acid at levels ten times stronger than other well-known multis along with iron for the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Multi-Guard® Active supplies antioxidants in a unique ORAC blend derived from green tea - which has antioxidant properties that contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative damage -, grape seed, and rosemary extracts. This combination may help to protect against free radical exposure that can arise from heavy exercise, air pollution, and sunlight.
Selenium a nutrient best known for its contribution to normal sperm health in men is also well represented, as is vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity in women.
We've chosen to present this formula in tablets, not capsules, since this form can accommodate high quantities of all the keynote nutrients featured.
Our expert Nutrition Advisors often recommend L-Lysine HCl 1000mg as a perfect partner to Multi-Guard® Active. Lysine is an essential amino acid predominately found in meat-based products. It plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a constituent of cartilage, skin and bones.
All our multivitamins and multi-minerals are manufactured and packaged in UK factories working to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to meet our quality standards.
Still unsure if this formula is the right choice for you? Don't worry. Our expert Nutrition Advisors are on hand to help you pick from our extensive multi offerings.

"Quite Big Tablets"

As a vegetarian and a runner, I take multi vitamins to plug any gaps. This tablet contains a lot of the key nutrients like Iron. It is quite big and it smells awful but once you master a technique, it is possible to continue taking them. No side effects.

We do formulate our products to be as small as possible, whilst still providing a relevant level of the nutrients required. Our research has suggested that our customers prefer to take fewer capsules which is why they are often rather large in size. For future reference, you can see the size of our tablets / capsules against a ruler on the product pages on our website.
This multi also contains L Selenomethionine, a form of selenium which contains methionine a sulphur containing amino acid with a slight 'eggy' smell. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.

I choose this specific item because I want a good multivitamin that has just that bit more. When I was doing a lot more exercise, I paired it with a multi mineral, but now I just take this and the Orac Omega.

From having taken Glucosamine for many years I progressed to Multi-Guard as I reached older age . The convenience of a one a day tablet is also a positive. I am fit and active at the age of 84 and would like to think that Multi-Guard Active has contributed to that.

"Disappointed. Would not recommend."

My husband and I both noticed that our urine turned bright green after starting these tablets. We decided to check if it was linked to the tablets, so we both stopped taking the tablets and our urine cleared and became normal colour. We both started taking the tablets again and our urine once again became bright green - quite off putting! There''s nothing noted on the container to say urine may become discoloured. We stopped taking the tablets. Sadly a waste of money.

This change in colour is normal and is linked to the Vitamin B2 in the product so it is quite safe and nothing to worry about.
