Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin offers essential nutrients in a convenient, once-a-day capsule. Sarah Glinski, RD, a registered dietitian and health writer based in Vancouver, Canada, explains that she loves this product because it contains several key nutrients, including inositol and chromium, that are not found in many other one-a-day multivitamins.

“The incidence of metabolic issues like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure increases once a person has gone through menopause,” says Glinski.

She suggests that inositol and chromium may improve blood pressure, HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels, and blood sugar regulation.

Another major perk is what this multivitamin leaves out. Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. is free of unnecessary additives and common allergens, including wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and gluten.

While there’s plenty to love about this product, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t include magnesium or calcium. Calcium in particular is a key nutrient for bone health in postmenopausal women. However, this is a common trade-off with one-a-day vitamins, as calcium is too bulky to include in adequate amounts without making the capsule too large. It also provides more than 100 percent of the daily value of multiple nutrients, so it’s important that you check with a healthcare professional before taking it, to ensure that you’re not getting too much of any particular nutrient.
