Why does Vitamin Armor avoid proprietary blends?
Proprietary blends reduce transparency. Vitamin Armor uses clearly labeled ingredients with defined amounts, so you always know exactly what you’re taking.
Formulation Philosophy
Why is there no calcium in Vitamin100 Multivitamin?
Calcium competes with other essential minerals—such as magnesium and zinc—for absorption in the intestine through the same transport mechanism (DMT-1). Because calcium requires a large daily dose (around 1,000 mg), including it in a multivitamin can significantly reduce the absorption of other minerals.
For this reason, calcium is best taken separately from other vitamins, minerals, and certain prescription medications. Vitamin100 Multivitamin excludes calcium to support better overall nutrient absorption.
Why isn’t vitamin D included in Vitamin100 Multivitamin?
The amount of vitamin D commonly found in multivitamins is typically too low to meaningfully impact blood levels. Many individuals require 1,000–5,000 IU daily based on blood testing, which is difficult to achieve within a “one-a-day” multivitamin.
Vitamin D is better dosed separately, allowing for individualized supplementation based on needs and laboratory results.
Why isn’t iron included in Vitamin100 Multivitamin?
Iron needs vary widely depending on age, gender, and pregnancy status. Iron supplementation often causes side effects such as nausea or constipation and may mask underlying anemia if taken without medical supervision.
Because iron also competes with other minerals for absorption and carries potential risks when taken unnecessarily, Vitamin100 Multivitamin does not include iron. Iron supplementation is best guided by a healthcare provider when needed.
Why does Vitamin100 provide 100% Daily Value instead of megadoses?
More is not always better. Each vitamin and mineral has a beneficial range as well as potential toxic levels. Excessive intake—especially of minerals like zinc—can lead to imbalances, such as copper deficiency.
Vitamin100 Multivitamin is designed to provide 100% of essential daily values, supporting optimal intake when combined with a normal diet—without the risks associated with excessive dosing.
Usage & Safety
Can I take Vitamin100 Multivitamin if I use blood thinners like Coumadin?
Vitamin100 Multivitamin contains a consistent, moderate amount of vitamin K. Maintaining a stable vitamin K intake can help support consistent dosing of anticoagulant medications such as warfarin.
Always consult your prescribing healthcare provider before making changes to vitamin intake if you use blood thinners.
Is Vitamin100 Multivitamin safe for daily use?
Vitamin100 is designed for daily, long-term use when taken as directed.
If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications, consult your healthcare provider before use.
Can Vitamin100 Multivitamin be used during pregnancy?
Yes. Vitamin100 Multivitamin provides 400 mcg of folic acid, the amount commonly recommended during pregnancy to support fetal development.
Iron needs during pregnancy vary. Vitamin100 does not contain iron, which often improves tolerability. Follow your obstetrician’s guidance on whether separate iron supplementation is necessary.
Vitamin D Guidance
How can I tell if I’m getting enough vitamin D?
The most reliable way to assess vitamin D status is a blood test measuring 25-hydroxy vitamin D. This test helps determine whether supplementation is needed and at what dose.
Vitamin Armor uses vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), the same form naturally produced by the body through sunlight exposure.
How much vitamin D is needed if blood levels are low?
Vitamin D needs vary by individual. As a general reference, 1,000 IU of vitamin D may raise blood levels by approximately 10 ng/mL. Dosing should be adjusted based on baseline levels and follow-up testing under medical guidance.
Do vitamin D levels change throughout the year?
Yes. Vitamin D levels are often lower during winter months and higher during summer due to changes in sun exposure. Some individuals adjust supplementation seasonally to maintain consistent levels.
Are there symptoms of excessive vitamin D intake?
Excess vitamin D may cause elevated calcium levels, which can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, weakness, confusion, kidney stones, or heart rhythm disturbances.
Any concerning symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
