Thorne Research tops our list as a trustworthy and reputable vitamin supplement brand. When selecting our top picks, we prioritized brands with research backed formulations and dosages, internal and third-party testing, sourcing transparency and overall ingredient quality and brand integrity. You should also check for supplements with high-quality ingredients that lack fillers or unnecessary additives,” says Jamie Gershel, MS, RD. If a healthcare provider has recommended a particular supplement or multiple supplements, “It is important to choose vitamin brands that do extensive testing, ideally by a third party. For example, pregnant and breastfeeding women, athletes, and older adults all have unique nutritional needs that might benefit from supplementation of certain nutrients.

If you have a diagnosed deficiency, experience malabsorption issues, or consume a limited or restrictive diet, you may benefit from a vitamin or mineral supplement. Additionally, there are certain life stages that have increased nutrient needs. We recommend meeting as many of your nutrient needs as possible through eating a balanced and varied diet, but there are certain instances supplementing with vitamins, minerals, or other supplements may be needed.
