After finally running out of the prenatals I had crazily stocked up on at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I put my feelers out there to find a suitable multivitamin for myself, my husband, and my toddler girl.  The market is massive, but we were soon able to narrow down our search given a couple parameters we were specifically abiding by: plant-based (vegan), and made with quality ingredients.

Our requirements sound simple, don't they?  Crazily enough, not that many companies fit the bill.  I was getting a little disgruntled seeing a number of seemingly reputable companies that include gelatin, questionable ingredients that I can't pronounce, artificial flavors or colors, or much more sugar than I'd expect.

I then stumbled upon First Day vitamins, and was pleasantly surprised by their impressive products.

Easiest Health Routine

Dosage is Important!

What stands out most to me about First Day Vitamins is that their vitamins are so carefully-designed with the notion of overdosage in mind.  Here's an excerpt from their website:

Remember the old adage "more isn't always better"? Many vitamins today use cheap chemicals that our bodies can't absorb in amounts that are much higher than we actually need! In the long term, taking these sorts of vitamins can be harmful to health because our bodies have a tough time getting rid of the excess.
Take plants as an example. Overwatering your plants can damage their roots, wilt the leaves, and ruin their growth. That's why First Day focuses on being a nourishing vitamin filling in the gaps, not overloading you nutrients. 
So, we've consciously formulated our vitamin around what we most commonly lack. Then we made our gummy to fill the gaps in our everyday needs with the finest ingredients. 
 

My Verdict

I got my first set of Kids, Men's, and Women's multivitamins from First Day and can't be any happier.  Our family is loving this shift and I have a peace of mind, knowing the best ingredients are going into our systems.  It's SUPER important to me that we're supporting our (especially our little girl's) nutrition as best we can.  All in all, I'm SO happy we discovered First Day and encourage all our friends and family to check out their quality vitamins.
