I Tried Ritual Multivitamins: My Review (and Promo Code!)

I will admit it: I was influenced. I kept seeing posts about people taking Ritual multivitamins, and eventually I clicked the link. As someone with a background in science (I have a M. Sc. and I work in clinical research), I am usually skeptical about wellness products and supplements that I see advertised on Instagram. But the deeper I looked into Ritual, I more I wanted to try it.

What is Ritual?

Ritual is a subscription supplement delivery service based in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 2016 and is known for its aesthetically pleasing clear packaging and light-yellow multivitamin capsules. Customers are sent a monthly supply of vitamins, and a resupply is automatically shipped every month. There are options available for women, men, and kids of different age groups. Ritual offers a 30-day money back guarantee and the subscription can be canceled at any time. It is available in the US and Canada.

What I like: The Ingredients

I take a lot of care in what I put in my body. I try to focus on eating whole foods, rather than products that are packaged or processed. Why wouldn’t I pay the same amount of attention to my vitamins?

On Ritual’s website, I was able to find all of the information I could have dreamed of on what goes into their products. On their ingredients page they list each individual ingredient with a ton of detail, like where it is sourced, where it is manufactured, and what its function is. For example, the omega-3 DHA they use comes from microalgae and is manufactured in Saskatoon, Canada. They also cite a handful of peer-reviewed research articles related to each ingredient as evidence for why it is an important part of their product.

On top of this, they also ran a clinical study on their Essential for Women 18+ vitamin to show that their product does what they say it does; it was shown to increase vitamin D levels by 43%, and shown to increase DHA levels by 41%, more than placebo. This is important because some dietary supplements can contain ingredients that aren’t actually bioavailable. That is, the ingredients list of a supplement may say that a vitamin is included, but it may not be in a form that your body is actually able to absorb.
