Olimp Vita-Min One

☀️ Vitamin D 40µg (800% NRV) — the most frequently deficient vitamin in Northern Europe

At 40µg of vitamin D3 per daily dose — 800% of the EU NRV — Vita-Min One provides one of the highest vitamin D concentrations available in a standard multivitamin format. Vitamin D carries EU-authorised health claims for contributing to the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal muscle function, the normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. In Belgium and Northern Europe, the majority of the adult population is vitamin D insufficient for 6 to 8 months of the year due to insufficient UVB sunlight exposure — Vita-Min One's 40µg dose comprehensively covers this seasonal requirement from a single daily supplement.

🛡️ Vitamin C 200mg (250% NRV) — antioxidant, immunity and iron absorption

Vitamin C at 200mg per daily dose carries multiple EU-authorised health claims: contributing to the normal function of the immune system, contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism and — critically — contributing to the increase of iron absorption from food. The inclusion of high-dose vitamin C alongside iron (14mg, 100% NRV) is a deliberate formulation choice: vitamin C converts dietary non-haem iron from its oxidised ferric form to its reduced ferrous form, significantly increasing its intestinal absorption.

⚡ Full B-vitamin complex — energy metabolism and nervous system function

The complete B-vitamin matrix in Vita-Min One covers all eight B vitamins at meaningful doses. Riboflavin (B2) at 16.8mg (1200% NRV), vitamin B12 at 21µg (840% NRV) and thiamine (B1) at 8mg (727% NRV) are provided at doses significantly above the NRV — reflecting the increased B-vitamin demands of physically active individuals and the known inadequacy of RDA-level B-vitamin doses for athletic performance contexts. B vitamins collectively carry EU-authorised health claims for normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

🧬 American ginseng extract (50mg) — adaptogenic vitality support

Vita-Min One includes 50mg of American ginseng root extract (Panax quinquefolius L.) — a botanical adaptogen that complements the vitamin and mineral matrix. American ginseng has a well-established traditional use profile for supporting mental performance, physical vitality and stress adaptation. Its inclusion in a physically active adult multivitamin — rather than in a dedicated adaptogen supplement — reflects Olimp's design philosophy of providing a genuinely comprehensive daily support formula in a single product.

🦴 Calcium + Vitamin D + Magnesium — the bone and muscle function triad

Calcium (240mg, 30% NRV), vitamin D (40µg, 800% NRV) and magnesium (190mg, 50% NRV) work synergistically: vitamin D facilitates intestinal calcium and phosphorus absorption; calcium and magnesium together support normal muscle function and bone mineralisation. Vitamin D and magnesium both carry EU-authorised health claims for the maintenance of normal muscle function — particularly relevant for physically active individuals where muscle contractile performance and recovery are primary concerns.

💅 Biotin, zinc and selenium — skin, hair and nail support

Biotin (100µg, 200% NRV), zinc (10mg, 100% NRV) and selenium (55µg, 100% NRV) each carry EU-authorised health claims for the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. Zinc additionally contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood — directly relevant to male athletes. The combination of these three micronutrients in a single daily supplement covers the most common beauty-mineral supplementation needs without requiring additional dedicated products.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Physically active adults: 2 capsules/day after the main meal. Comprehensive micronutrient support for the increased vitamin and mineral demands of regular training.

🔥 Seasonal immunity and energy: 2 capsules/day throughout autumn and winter. Vitamin D (800% NRV), vitamin C (250% NRV) and B12 (840% NRV) address the three most common winter micronutrient insufficiencies in Northern Europe.

⚖️ Daily wellbeing foundation: 2 capsules/day year-round. A comprehensive 23-ingredient daily baseline covering vitamins, minerals and ginseng in a single, simple daily dose.

Serving suggestion

Take 2 capsules once per day after the main meal, with a large glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. For adults only.

Best times to take it

🍽️ After the main meal (Olimp's sole recommendation)

Vita-Min One must be taken after the main meal — not on an empty stomach. The fat-soluble vitamins in the formula (A, D, E) are absorbed via the lymphatic system alongside dietary fat; taking them with a fat-containing meal significantly improves their bioavailability. The B vitamins and minerals are also better tolerated and absorbed when taken with food rather than in a fasted state.

📅 Every day at the same time

A consistent daily routine maximises both adherence and the cumulative tissue concentration of fat-soluble vitamins. For B vitamins and water-soluble vitamins, consistent daily intake maintains steady-state plasma levels. For fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E), consistent daily intake progressively builds tissue stores over weeks of supplementation.

Q1 — What makes Vita-Min One different from a standard pharmacy multivitamin?

The primary differences are the vitamin D dose and the B-vitamin concentrations. Standard pharmacy multivitamins typically provide vitamin D at 5 to 10µg (100 to 200% NRV) — a dose calibrated for average sun exposure that is insufficient during Northern European winter months when UVB production in the skin drops to near zero. Vita-Min One provides 40µg (800% NRV) — a dose that actively corrects seasonal vitamin D insufficiency rather than merely maintaining borderline sufficiency. The B-vitamin complex is similarly high-dose: riboflavin (B2) at 1200% NRV and vitamin B12 at 840% NRV reflect the increased B-vitamin metabolic demands of physically active individuals, where standard RDA-level doses often fail to maintain optimal plasma concentrations.

Q2 — Why is there a warning about not combining with other vitamin D, zinc or manganese supplements?

Vita-Min One already provides these three nutrients at meaningful doses — vitamin D at 800% NRV, zinc at 100% NRV and manganese at 50% NRV. Adding further supplementation of these specific nutrients from other sources risks exceeding the tolerable upper intake levels (ULs) established by EFSA — particularly for vitamin D, where chronic intake above 100µg per day can produce hypercalcaemia, and for manganese, where excess accumulation affects neurological function. Vita-Min One is designed as a standalone comprehensive daily supplement — it does not need to be combined with additional targeted micronutrient supplements for most individuals following a varied diet.

Q3 — Why is Vita-Min One not recommended during pregnancy?

Several ingredients in the Vita-Min One formula require special management during pregnancy. Vitamin A (retinol) is teratogenic at doses above 800µg per day of retinol equivalents — Vita-Min One provides 400µg per daily dose, but combined with dietary vitamin A from fortified foods and animal products, the total daily intake may approach or exceed safe thresholds without monitoring. The iron dose (14mg, 100% NRV) may require adjustment based on individual pregnancy iron status assessments. Pregnant women and women planning pregnancy should use a dedicated prenatal multivitamin formulated specifically for their stage, under medical supervision.

Q4 — What is American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and why is it included?

American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is a botanical adaptogen distinct from the more commonly known Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng). While both species contain ginsenosides as their primary bioactive compounds, American ginseng has a distinct ginsenoside profile associated with cognitive performance support, physical vitality and adaptogenic stress resistance. Its inclusion in Vita-Min One at 50mg complements the vitamin and mineral matrix by addressing the performance and vitality dimensions of active daily life that micronutrients alone cannot cover — making Vita-Min One a genuinely comprehensive daily support formula rather than a purely corrective micronutrient supplement.

Q5 — Is Vita-Min One suitable for long-term daily use?

Olimp explicitly states on the product label that prolonged use is not recommended without consulting a physician or pharmacist. This guidance reflects the high doses of certain nutrients — particularly the fat-soluble vitamins (D at 800% NRV, E at 200% NRV) and chromium (300% NRV) — which accumulate in tissue with consistent daily intake. For seasonal supplementation during the autumn and winter months (the most common use case in Northern Europe), a 1 to 3-month course is the standard protocol. For year-round use, periodic breaks (typically 1 month on, 1 month off) or medical monitoring of fat-soluble vitamin status are advisable.
