5 Reasons to Choose Kaged Multivitamin

It's a sad truth: most Americans don't get the nutrients their body craves from diet alone.

Population studies have shown that many adults consume below the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for key micronutrients, including the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as key minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. [1]

That's often true if you eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. Overfarming and modern agriculture have depleted our soil, leaving our fruits and vegetables deficient in nutrients.

For example, one study compared the nutritional content of 43 crops and showed that 6 out of the 13 nutrients declined over the course of 49 years. These declines were as high as 38%, which was the case for Vitamin B2. [2]

A quality, bioavailable multivitamin helps cover these nutritional gaps.

Fruits and Veggies are the base of any healthy diet, but a quality, bioavailable multivitamin can cover any nutritional gaps.

Even in physically active populations like lifters and athletes, it’s common for many to be deficient in some vitamins and minerals.[3,4]

In fact, being active means you'll have higher demands for various micronutrients than the average person.

Why Most Multivitamins Don't Cut It

Naturally, many rely on a multivitamin to fill up any nutritional gaps in their diet.

But m ost multivitamins use synthetic forms, with little attention paid to how the nutrients are absorbed.

Second multivitamins often contain lots more than you need, and in doses that are hundreds of times the recommended amount.

At Kaged, we focused on absorption and dose. We believe in a food-first approach, and we extended that philosophy to our multivitamin.

Here's what makes the Kaged Multivitamin different

1) Whole Food Sourced Vitamins and Minerals

A major difference between Kaged Multivitamin and the leading competitors is that our formula contains no synthetic vitamins or minerals.

We source our micronutrients from whole foods for a synergistic effect with their native plant phytochemicals.

From superfoods like sweet potato to spinach, the power of Kaged Multivitamin comes from the source.

Some vitamins, like Vitamin E, are twice as bioavailable in their natural form compared to their synthetic form. [5]

Research has shown that phytochemicals in whole food sources have a synergistic effect with micronutrients, compared to consuming vitamins alone.[6]

Another reason we opt for whole food sources for Kaged Multivitamin is that many synthetic vitamins rely on harsh chemicals and waste products as starting materials for their production. [7]

Worse, some companies pair synthetic vitamins with fruit and vegetable “blends” to appear more natural than they truly are.

Why? It’s expensive and difficult to standardize whole food sources for specific micronutrient amounts. Many supplement companies simply won't invest the time or money to deliver their customers a superior product.

2) All The Essential Vitamins and Minerals

A major problem with commercial multivitamins is that their formulas leave out or minimize the good quality nutrients (which are more expensive) while overdosing on cheaper sythentic vitamins and minerals.

Essential nutrients like Vitamin K are commonly excluded from multivitamin formulas.

Kaged Multivitamin features all of the fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, plus essential minerals.

A good multivitamin should help you close gaps in your diet, so we’ve included a well-rounded profile of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to ensure your nutrition is covered.

3) 100% Daily Recommended Value

Our multivitamin contains ≤100% of your daily recommended value for all 21 vitamins and minerals in our formula.

Just as underdosing multivitamins can be problematic, consuming excessive amounts can pose its own set of challenges.

A consistent recommendation in scientific literature on athletes and multivitamin supplementation is to use a daily micronutrient supplement that provides that’s ≤100% RDA to round out a whole food diet.[8,9]

A multivitamin should supplement a diet, not be the primary source for micronutrients.

4) Prebiotic Benefits for improved Absorption

Kaged Multivitamin features ActivAloe®, an aloe vera leaf extract with a standardized polysaccharide content. Aloe Vera has been shown to enhance the absorption of essential vitamins like vitamins B12, C, and E.*

While the mechanisms for this improved absorption aren't fully understood, researchers suspect that the phytochemicals in aloe slow down the degradation of these vitamins in the intestinal tract while the polysaccharide content of the aloe facilitates their binding.[10]

Aloe vera has also shown potential effects for promoting the production of short-chain fatty acids and beneficial gut health.*[11]

5) Informed Sport Certified

You’d be shocked if you knew how many multivitamin supplements contain fewer vitamins and minerals than what’s stated on the label.

Studies have shown deviations of up to 50% between multivitamins' compositions and their label values.[12]

Kaged Multivitamin is Informed Sport Certified and comes with a Micropure Quality Guarantee, so you can be confident that your product has undergone stringent third party testing for banned substances, ingredient purity, and potency.

If you’re looking for a clean, green multivitamin formula that’s backed by science, Kaged Multivitamin provides male and female athletes with a complete farm-to-formula solution to bolster a well-balanced diet.
