Founder Here!! Building Multivitamin with focus on bioavailability. Need you opinion!!!

Supplement 🫙

Hello everyone,

I’m working on creating a high-quality multivitamin with a strong focus on bioavailability (how well the body absorbs nutrients).

In India, many multivitamins look good on the label but use cheap forms of nutrients that are poorly absorbed. My goal is to avoid that by using better, more bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals.

After a lot of discussions with suppliers, I’ve designed a formulation that is close to ICMR RDA values, with some additional functional ingredients that have solid scientific support.

Feedback Needed On:

  1. Does this formulation (see below) look strong and effective?
  2. Would you consider using it?
  3. How much would you pay for 60 capsules?

  • Well-researched and effective
  • Supports immunity and antioxidant defense

Bioactive B-Complex (Active = Better Absorption)

Vitamin B1 – 1.8 mg

Form: Benfotiamine

  • Fat-soluble → absorbed better than regular thiamine
  • Supports nerve health

Vitamin B2 – 2.5 mg

Form: Riboflavin-5-Phosphate

Biotin – 40 mcg

Form: D-Biotin

  • Most bioavailable form
  • Supports hair, skin, and metabolism

Folate – 300 mcg

Form: L-Methylfolate

  • Active form → bypasses genetic conversion issues (MTHFR)
  • Better than folic acid

Vitamin B12 – 2.2 mcg

Form: Methylcobalamin

  • Active, highly bioavailable form
  • Better retained in the body than cyanocobalamin

Minerals (Superior Chelated Forms)

  • Zinc Bisglycinate → better absorption, less stomach irritation
  • Copper Bisglycinate → balanced with zinc, highly bioavailable
  • Selenium (Selenomethionine) → best absorbed form
  • Chromium Picolinate → supports blood sugar control

Functional Ingredients (Added Value)

  • Piperine (5 mg) → enhances nutrient absorption
  • Lutein (10 mg) + Zeaxanthin (2 mg) → eye protection
  • R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (100 mg) → powerful antioxidant, supports metabolism

What Makes This Formula Better?

  • Uses active & bioavailable forms, not cheap fillers
