The daily multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is the bedrock of most health routines. Yet, the price of premium, high-quality, gender-specific multis often hovers between $30 and $45 per month (think brands like Ritual, GNC Mega Men/Women, or others).
This is a category where the retail markup is completely unjustifiable.
The Supplement Auditor took the two essential formulas—LiveGood Multi-Vitamin for Men and Multi-Vitamin for Women—and audited them against the premium market. The result is shocking: you can get a better, more complete formula for under $10.
The Retail Reality: Paying for Bottles, Not Benefits
Retail multi-vitamins charge a premium for sophisticated marketing campaigns and expensive celebrity endorsements. When you analyze the label, you’re paying mostly for the convenience and the hype, not for bio-availability or extra nutrients.
The core issue: A monthly cost of $35 for basic vitamins is simply not sustainable for long-term health, forcing many people to skip doses or buy inferior products.
The LiveGood Solution: Complete Formulas for $9.95
LiveGood offers two complete formulas that address gender-specific needs (e.g., iron and folate for women, specific mineral levels for men). Both are designed to deliver full potency at a fraction of the cost.
- LiveGood Multi-Vitamin for Women (with Iron): A highly bio-available mix, including essential iron, necessary for women’s health that is often missed in standard supplements.
- LiveGood Multi-Vitamin for Men: Optimized for male needs, focusing on specific mineral levels and nutrients.
The audit passes because you get a powerful, complete, high-quality formula for the low wholesale price of $9.95—the cheapest legitimate price for a complete multi-vitamin on the market.

We use the popular $30-$40 retail range to show the massive gulf in pricing, proving that high cost does not equal high quality in this category.

The Auditor’s Conclusion: Foundational Health Made Affordable
If your multi-vitamin is costing you more than $15 a month, you are paying the retail tax. LiveGood proves that the most important foundational supplement doesn’t need to break the bank.
