Multibionta Tablets Review

Overall Rating

Balanced nutrition in one tablet.

Can have side effects.

The Multibionta Tablets are relatively new technology in the vitamin supplement world.
With this product you get 12 vitamins, 12 minerals and 3 probiotic cultures in each tablet.
You have to remember that you are introducing enzymes into your body with Multibionta.
This is called 'Friendly Bacteria' by the manufactures.
If you have digestion problems, then this is definitely for you. If not, then there are plenty of alternative brands which have the same vitamins and minerals without the probiotics.
It is very important to have a balanced diet and if your eating habits are poor, you will be introducing 'Friendly Bacteria' that has nothing to do.
Currently the best way to buy this product is from Boots who have a 3 for the price of 2 offer, and it then becomes affordable.
I have tried Multibionta and while it does make you feel better, I am not at all sure that Probiotics are for everyone so it really is up to the individual.
A lot of research has gone into this product but you must follow the directions exactly.

  I have been purchasing Multibionta for the last year approx. I find it very gentle on the system and does compliment a good wholesome diet.
  I do not wish to condone this product as it is excellent but the Calcium, phosphorus and Magnesium content is very low, which i know as a Nutritional Therapist is most important as we are almost built on Calcium.
  
  Is there anything that can be done to increase this level? It would finish the product off nicely.
  
  Keep up the good work with this product.

  A very good alternative product, with much higher levels of Calcium, Phosphorous and Magnesium is Sanatogen Gold. No Probiotics, but this could be substituted by eating a good quality Yogurt. Sean

  Yes, I am aware that Sanatogen Gold have a higher level of calcium etc. I steer away from dairy produce, yogurts etc. but substitute calcium in other ways, tahini, seaweed etc. I just felt that the calcium, magnesium levels were extremely low. However, an excellent product otherwise with probiotics etc. Keep up the good work.

  Calcium is of course important for physiological development and maintenance but there are some people who may over-use a higher dose of calcium (possibly causing calcified deposits to form in tendons and joints). It must also be noted that the formulation is based upon the fact most consumers take calcium in their diets in other forms (e.g. dairy products). If a higher dose of calcium is required, I would suggest a calcium specific product. A product like Multibionta is manufactured for the 'General' public and therefore meets a broad variety of needs.
  As for the other ingredients, you have to understand there are regulatory requirements for many of them (concerning input levels). Magnesium for example is one of those.
