Multivitamins & Essentials: Your Foundation for Everyday Wellness
Daily health is shaped by the nutrients your body draws on constantly — from B-vitamins for energy production, to iron for red blood cell formation, to magnesium and vitamin D for muscle, mood and immune balance. This collection brings together our curated multivitamins and core essentials designed to support busy routines, changing life stages and common nutrient gaps seen in Australian diets.
Key Takeaways at a Glance
What: A curated range of multivitamins for women, men, adults over 50 and those preparing for pregnancy — plus foundational essentials like iron, B-complex, magnesium and vitamin D.
Why it matters: Many Australians fall short on key nutrients due to stress, limited sunlight, menstrual losses, digestive issues and inconsistent food patterns. Thoughtfully formulated multis and essentials help support metabolic, immune and cognitive function.
How to use this page: Start with the helper tip below, then explore our life-stage guides, Multivitamin Hub and targeted nutrient explainers to choose the formula that best matches your goals, biology and practitioner advice.
Our range includes activated multivitamins for improved tolerability, practitioner-style blends with balanced co-factors, and gentle essentials for people who prefer targeted, minimal-ingredient options. These are the foundational building blocks of a smarter, more personalised supplement routine.
Choose a multivitamin that fits your life stage first, then add essentials only when blood tests, symptoms or practitioner guidance confirm the need. This avoids doubling up on nutrients and keeps your routine simple and effective.

The Eco Traders Multivitamin Standard
We prioritise formulas using nutrient forms with strong tolerability profiles, including activated B-vitamins (methylfolate, methylcobalamin), chelated minerals (e.g. magnesium glycinate, iron bisglycinate), and balanced co-factors such as choline and inositol.
Women 18–45: Consider iron, folate, iodine and B-complex support, especially with heavy periods, inconsistent eating patterns or high stress.
Preconception & Pregnancy: Focus on folate, iodine, choline, iron and vitamin D under practitioner guidance.
Men’s Energy & Vitality: Look for zinc, B-complex, magnesium and antioxidant support, usually with little or no iron.
Adults 50+: Prioritise B12, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium in formulations tailored for absorption and bone/muscle health.
Multivitamin vs Targeted Essentials — which should you choose?
Use a multivitamin as an everyday foundation if your diet varies or if you prefer a simple routine.
Add essentials like iron, B-complex, magnesium or vitamin D when a specific need is identified from symptoms, blood tests or practitioner advice.
