The act of “fairy dusting” in supplements is quite common. In essence, this means including ingredients in a supplement at such a low dose that it doesn’t provide much benefit, but still advertising them as a main ingredient.
At mbg, we don’t believe in “fairy dusting.” Instead, we include research-backed doses of vitamins, minerals, botanicals, and bioactives, especially when it comes to our multivitamin. Below, a quick snapshot of the nutrients you’ll get in one serving of the mindbodygreen ultimate multivitamin+ (and how that compares to whole foods, for reference).
