A up to 4 month supply of our Complete Activated Multi multivitamin is a full spectrum complete formulation of vitamins and minerals that is simple and well balanced. Our formulation contains nutrients in more well-absorbed forms than most other multivitamins. 

Serving Size: 2 Capsules Serving

Per Container: 240

When you’re living with a sensitive gut, every pill counts, and so does every nutrient.

Complete Activated Multivitamin gives you full-spectrum vitamin and mineral support in just 2 capsules a day. That makes it our pick for the best multivitamin for Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, microscopic colitis & sensitive guts: it’s thorough, easy to absorb, and doesn’t include extras your gut doesn’t need.

It was selected by the registered dietitians who work every day with people managing digestive conditions.

A Better Absorbed, Complete & Acvitated Multivitamin

Many multivitamins on the market use low quality, cheap nutrients that don't absorb well or have adequate amounts to provide therapeutic value to those taking them.

With so much at stake for those of us with sensitive guts and at risk of being low, having some insurance that we can cover the bases can be helpful for many.

Well-absorbed B12

Vitamin B12 is important not just for energy production, but also for red blood cell production and a healthy central nervous system. Vitamin B12 deficiency can often be missed in many cases. In fact running serum B12 alone can miss up to 50% of deficiencies. 

Even people who have adequate intakes of vitamin B12 may have a deficiency, due to factors such as difficulty absorbing the vitamin from food, trouble with absorption due to GI disease, lack of intrinsic factor due to pernicious anemia, or the prolonged use of certain medications that block absorption. 

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a number of symptoms, including fatigue, neurological changes, anemia related to low B12, palpitations, and low counts of white and red blood cells. The symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency are not always immediate and can take several years to appear.

Why We Used Folate over Folic Acid

Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9 found in most budget multis and in fortified flour, rice and cereal. Your body has to convert it to the active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), before it can use it. 5-MTHF is also the main form of folate in food and in your blood.

Some people have genetic obstacles that slow this conversion. Many dietitians prefer methylfolate (listed as L-methylfolate or 5-MTHF) because it skips the conversion step and ensures better absorption.

We also use folate over folic acid because there are concerns with folic acid masking and potentially exacerbating B12 deficiency the way high-dose folic acid can. Folic acid is still the form with the strongest trial evidence for preventing neural tube defects, so talk with your provider before switching if you're pregnant or planning to be.

Why People with IBD Need a Better Multivitamin

People with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and microscopic colitis face a higher risk of nutrient gaps than the general population. Common reasons include:

• Reduced absorption during inflammation or after bowel surgery
• Restricted or low-residue diets that limit fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
• Medications that can affect nutrient levels as a side effect
• Frequent loose stools, which can deplete minerals like zinc and magnesium

Many standard multivitamins use cheaper, harder-to-absorb nutrient forms or contain fillers, dyes, and additives. That’s not ideal when your digestive system is already working overtime. Complete Activated Multivitamin is built differently.

What Makes Complete Activated Multivitamin Different

• Activated, highly absorbable forms: Nutrients come in forms your body can readily use, including glycinate-bound minerals that are gentle and well absorbed.
• Only 2 capsules daily: Full nutritional coverage without a handful of pills.
• No unnecessary additives or preservatives: A clean formula designed with sensitive stomachs in mind.
• Third-party tested and certified: Independently verified so that what’s on the label is what’s in the capsule, and screened for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants.

Key Nutrients and Benefits*

• Vitamin A: supports eye health, healthy skin, and immune function*
• Vitamins C and E (with mixed tocopherols): antioxidant support to help protect cells*
• Vitamin D: supports strong bones and a healthy immune system, a key nutrient for people with IBD*
• Activated B vitamins: support heart, blood vessel, and nerve health*
• Vitamins K1 and K2: support bone and blood vessel health*
• Zinc bisglycinate: a highly absorbable form of zinc for immune function and skin health*
• Chromium: helps support healthy blood sugar levels*
• Additional glycinate minerals: gentle, well-absorbed minerals to round out your daily foundation*

Nutritional Insurance for Your Gut-Friendly Diet

Even without a digestive condition, many people fall short on key vitamins and minerals. National survey data (NHANES) suggests nearly one in three Americans is at risk for at least one micronutrient deficiency. That risk is higher for people with chronic conditions, restrictive diets, or medications that affect nutrient status, which describes many people with IBD.

A quality daily multivitamin works as dietary insurance. It fills the gaps your food may leave, so you can focus on eating what feels good for your gut without worrying about what’s missing.

How to Take

Take 2 capsules daily with a meal, or as recommended by your healthcare provider or dietitian.
