Vitamins & Supplements
Vitamins & Supplements help fill nutrient gaps and support routine wellness goals. This category spans daily blends, single nutrients, botanicals, and specialty formulas for immunity, bones, energy, sleep, and stress. You can compare brands, forms, strengths, and ingredient sources with US shipping from Canada. Many shoppers look at Multivitamins first, then add targeted nutrients based on diet, season, or lab guidance. Inventory can change by batch and time, so selections may vary. Some users also consider minerals for muscle, nerve, and heart function; for example, Magnesium Supplements appear in many balanced routines.
What’s in This Category
This section includes capsules, tablets, softgels, gummies, liquids, and powders. Products range from broad daily blends to single-ingredient options such as vitamin C, D, zinc, iron, calcium, and amino acids. You will also see Herbal Supplements, including turmeric, ashwagandha, and ginger, used for joint comfort or stress balance. Probiotic blends appear in both shelf-stable and refrigerated formats. Amino acid options may include lysine powder; for example, the Nutri-Lys Lysine Supplement Powder fits smoothies or plain water.
Forms cater to different needs and preferences. Gummies suit taste-first users, while softgels and capsules help with oil-based nutrients like fish oil. Liquids and powders can support smaller or flexible doses. Sugar-free or low-sugar options help those watching carbohydrates. Time-release formats may reduce dosing frequency. Some formulas are tailored for women, men, seniors, athletes, or plant-based diets. You can filter by format, dietary features, and serving size to refine results.
How to Choose Vitamins & Supplements
Start with purpose, then select form and strength. Look for clear labels with active amounts and daily value percentages. Check the standardization of plant extracts and the specific forms of vitamins or minerals. For example, Omega-3 Supplements often list EPA and DHA per softgel; compare these grams, not just total fish oil. Review excipients and potential allergens. Consider third-party testing, and align doses with clinician guidance when needed.
Absorption and tolerability differ by form. Liquids and powders suit those who avoid large pills, while enteric coatings may reduce aftertaste for fish oils. Pair fat-soluble vitamins with food for better uptake. Store most products dry and cool, and avoid humidity exposure after opening. Use the product’s lot and expiry details as a rotation guide.

Popular Options
Balanced nutrition shakes can complement meals when appetite or timing is limited. Many readers compare calorie density, carb profile, and added vitamins when selecting a shake. Some review fiber types and whether the product is suitable for glucose management. A representative example is Glucerna 1.2 Cal Vanilla, formulated for controlled carbohydrate delivery and steady energy. It fits situations where meal spacing or consistency is challenging.
Those who prefer a broader line often start with diabetes nutrition shakes, then add single nutrients as needed. Chewable formats appeal to taste-first shoppers; Gummy Vitamins provide a simple way to take routine nutrients. Others choose softgels or capsules to reduce sugar intake and keep serving sizes precise. Powdered minerals or collagen mix into smoothies without extra pills. Match format to your daily habits to improve adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I compare formats and strengths before I add to cart?
Use filters to narrow by form, serving size, and active strength. Check the label image for daily values, standardized extracts, and allergen notes. Compare softgels for oil-based nutrients, and powders or liquids for flexible dosing. Review storage directions and expiry dates. If you have dietary restrictions, filter for sugar-free, vegan, or gluten-free options. Align choices with any clinician advice you already received.
Do I need a prescription to browse vitamins here?
No prescription is required to browse non-prescription vitamins and minerals. Many products are over-the-counter dietary supplements. You can view ingredient panels and typical uses on each product page. Some people share lab results with their clinician before choosing a dose. If you take medications, check for interactions or timing guidance. When unsure, seek professional medical advice.
Which options work best if I do not like swallowing pills?
Consider gummies, liquids, or powders to avoid large tablets. Gummies focus on taste; check sugar content if you track carbs. Liquids can supply flexible doses, and powders mix into smoothies. Softgels may be smaller and easier to take than tablets. Review serving sizes across forms so total daily intake remains consistent. Choose the format you can take reliably every day.
How should I store vitamins to maintain quality?
Store most supplements in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity. Keep caps tightly closed and avoid bathroom storage. Some probiotics and liquids may need refrigeration; follow the label. Do not decant into unsealed bags or pillboxes in humid environments. Use oldest dated bottles first and check best-by dates. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or frequent temperature swings.
Are there options suitable for specific groups like women, men, or kids?
Yes, many formulas target life stage or sex-specific needs. You can filter for women’s, men’s, seniors’, or children’s products. These may adjust iron, calcium, folate, or B-vitamin levels. Prenatal-focused options emphasize folate and iodine. Athletes may prefer higher protein or electrolyte support. Always match format, dose, and ingredients to individual dietary patterns and clinical guidance.
