What are multivitamins? And do you actually need to take them?

In the first episode of a new series of our health and wellbeing podcast, we sit down with Shefalee Loth, a public health nutritionist at Which?, and Sophie Medlin, founder of CityDietitians, to explain what multivitamins are, when you might need to take them, plus who should proceed with caution before introducing them into their daily routine.

Plus, for the first time ever, Which? has tested and reviewed multivitamins from a range of suppliers. We reveal some of the best on the market, plus which of those received the Which? Best Buy recommendation. 

The full podcast, which includes our test results, is only available to logged-in Which? users. members. If you're not a member, join Which? to instantly listen to the full podcast and gain access to all of our product reviews – all for 50% off your first year's membership.
