1 piece (medium) of Multivitamin capsule (1 g) has 3 calories. That works out to 250 calories per 100 g. It contains 0 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A Multivitamin capsule is a swallowable supplement that brings several vitamins and minerals together in one serving. The nutrients and their amounts vary by product, so check the label to see what a particular capsule contains. It is not a meaningful source of energy or macronutrients.
It is usually taken with water as part of a daily routine, sometimes alongside a meal if that fits the product directions. Swallowed whole, it generally has little taste. Follow the serving instructions rather than taking extra, and check the label before opening the capsule, since not all capsules are meant to be opened. If you take medicines or are unsure whether it suits you, ask a pharmacist.

Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

They can help fill specific gaps in nutrient intake, but they do not replace a varied diet or treat an illness. The benefit depends on the nutrients in the capsule and whether you are short of them.
Usually, yes. Taking a multivitamin capsule with a meal may improve absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and reduce stomach upset. Follow the package directions if they give different instructions.
There is no universally best time to take a multivitamin capsule. Choose a time you can stick to; if it seems to disturb your sleep, take it earlier in the day instead.
You can usually take a multivitamin capsule with coffee, but water is the simplest choice. Coffee may reduce absorption of some nutrients, such as iron, so take the capsule with a meal and avoid relying on coffee as its only accompaniment.
Some multivitamin capsules can turn urine bright yellow because excess riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is excreted in urine. This color change is usually harmless when it follows supplement use.
Yes, a multivitamin capsule can cause nausea, especially when taken on an empty stomach or when its minerals irritate the stomach. Taking it with food may help; stop and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or persistent.
Yes. Taking more than directed can lead to harmful amounts of nutrients, particularly vitamins that build up in the body or iron if the product contains it. If you have taken too much, contact poison control or urgent medical services for guidance.
Yes, some can. Vitamin K may affect warfarin, while minerals such as calcium or iron can interfere with the absorption of certain medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to check the specific capsule against your medication list.
Not always. Some capsules are meant to be swallowed whole, and opening them can affect how they are taken or make the contents unpleasant. Only open a multivitamin capsule if its instructions say this is acceptable.
Yes, multivitamin capsules have an expiration date. Keep them in their original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from heat and moisture, and do not use them after the date on the package.
