1 piece (medium) of Multivitamin Tablet (1 g) has 3 calories. That works out to 250 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.7 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 5 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A Multivitamin Tablet is a compact supplement formulated to provide several vitamins, and sometimes minerals, in one dose. The exact blend and amounts vary by product, so the label is the best guide to what a particular tablet contains. It is not eaten as part of a meal; it is usually swallowed with water, with or without food according to the product’s directions.
The tablet is dry and firm, with little or no flavour intended. People may take it alongside breakfast or another regular meal as a convenient addition to their routine. It provides selected micronutrients rather than the protein, fibre and variety of whole foods, so it is not a substitute for a balanced diet. Keeping it beside something you use each day can make the routine easier to remember.

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.
GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD

A multivitamin tablet supplies several vitamins and minerals in one supplement and can help fill gaps when dietary intake is inadequate. It does not replace a varied diet or treat a diagnosed deficiency or illness on its own.
You can take a multivitamin tablet daily if its directions call for daily use, but taking more than directed will not provide extra benefit. If you already get enough nutrients from food or other supplements, adding one may be unnecessary.
There is no universally best time to take a multivitamin tablet. Taking it at a consistent time with a meal can make it easier to remember and may reduce stomach upset, especially if the tablet contains minerals.
A multivitamin tablet is often easier to tolerate with food than on an empty stomach. A meal can help reduce nausea, and fat in the meal can aid absorption of fat-soluble vitamins; follow the product directions if they specify otherwise.
Yes, a multivitamin tablet can turn urine bright yellow, usually because excess riboflavin (vitamin B2) is being excreted. This color change is generally harmless, but persistent changes alongside pain or other symptoms should not automatically be blamed on the supplement.
No, a multivitamin tablet does not usually cause weight gain because it provides very little energy and is not known to reliably increase appetite. A change in weight is more likely related to changes in eating, activity, or other factors.
You can take a multivitamin tablet with coffee, but water is a better choice. Coffee may reduce the absorption of some minerals, including iron, so take the tablet with a meal and avoid pairing it with coffee if your product contains iron.
Sometimes, but combining a multivitamin tablet with separate vitamin or mineral supplements can push your total intake too high. Compare the ingredients and amounts, particularly for vitamins A and D, iron, and zinc, before taking both.
Yes, a multivitamin tablet has an expiration date, and its nutrient content may decline after that date. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, and discard tablets that have changed in appearance, smell, or texture.
A multivitamin tablet may help prevent inadequate intake when your diet does not provide enough of certain nutrients, but it cannot prevent every deficiency or correct every cause. A specific deficiency may require a different dose or treatment than a standard multivitamin provides.
