What each tested multivitamin costs, cheapest first

* Not found on the public NSF, USP or Informed lists (searched September 22, 2026 to September 30, 2026). To choose by need, see the best multivitamins.

A year of a tested multivitamin costs $39 to $487

That is one day’s label serving for 365 days, in the best-value size of each tested product above. Compare what one day costs. The price per pill can fool you. Ritual and Thorne serve 2 capsules a day, so their bottles last half as many days as they hold pills. A bigger bottle can save a little: NATURELO is $0.40 a day in its smallest size and $0.25 in its largest. Buy one you will finish before its expiry date.

Amazon sets its own prices. If its price is lower than the list price here, your day costs less too.

Most healthy adults who eat a varied diet don’t need a multivitamin. The US Preventive Services Task Force found “not enough evidence” to say one prevents heart disease or cancer, which is not a recommendation against it (USPSTF 2022). Some people may want one, such as many adults over 50 and vegans (who needs one).
