Supplement Facts panel for O.N.E. Multivitamin
  1. 01
    We read the label.

    The panel on the left is the one we evaluated, line by line.

  2. 02
    Every active, separately.

    All 27 actives checked against the clinical evidence: dose, form, and what the research actually shows.

  3. 03
    Then the formula as a whole.

    Doses, ratios, and how the ingredients work together. That assessment is the verdict above: "Strong evidence, strong dose".

  4. 04
    Earned, not bought.

    The verdict is public and identical whether or not a brand pays. A formula that does not clear the bar gets nothing.

  • Vitamin Cwithin 24 hours of a single doseMeasured within a day

    In a randomised crossover trial, 12 healthy adults consumed 101.7 mg of vitamin C as a powder, as raw fruits and vegetables, or as juice, and plasma vitamin C rose after every intake form, with plasma and urinary levels tracked over the 24 hours following the single dose.

    Strong
  • Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione)cleared from plasma within hoursMeasured within a day

    In a stable-isotope study, 10 healthy adults aged 22 to 31 took labelled vitamin K1 for six days and then an intravenous dose to resolve its disposal kinetics. Plasma vitamin K1 cleared with half-times of about 0.22 and 2.66 hours, and absorption of an oral dose was about 13 percent.

    Promising
  • Vitamin D3about 3 months of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In the trial record, blood vitamin D rises for about 3 months of daily vitamin D3 and then holds at a plateau, near 69 nmol/L at 1,000 IU a day, from a starting level near 41 nmol/L.

    Early
  • Vitamin Eabsorbed slowly, tracked over 72 hoursMeasured within a day

    In a 3-phase crossover using two deuterium-labelled forms of alpha-tocopherol, healthy women absorbed about 55 percent of an oral dose taken with a 40 percent fat meal and about 64 percent with a fat-free meal, with samples tracked over 72 hours. The authors conclude absorption is not limited by absent fat or fasting, and that vitamin E leaves the intestine by a prolonged process.

    Promising
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)about 4 weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In a randomised crossover trial, 8 healthy young women using oral contraceptives took 100 mg of vitamin B6 daily for 4 weeks, and blood vitamin B6 status rose significantly after the 4-week supplementation period compared with the other measured time points, without staying elevated after the 4-week washout.

  • Folatea median of about 36 weeks of daily intakeBuilds with daily use

    A systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis drew on 108 articles from 14,002 screened records and modelled blood folate against folic acid intake using one-compartment pharmacokinetic models. Red blood cell folate rose 1.78 fold from baseline to steady state at 375 to 570 ug folic acid per day, and reaching that steady state took a median of 36 weeks, 95% credible interval 27 to 52 weeks. Serum or plasma folate rose 11.6% for every 100 ug per day of folic acid intake, 95% credible interval 8.4 to 14.9.

  • Folateabout 18 days for serum folate to reach its maximumBuilds with daily use

    A kinetic study in six healthy men aged 22 to 31 gave 3.6 umol per day, 1.6 mg, of deuterium-labelled folic acid for four weeks, with folate tracked in serum, erythrocytes and urine by microbiological assay and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Serum folate reached its maximum concentration in about 18 days, while isotopic labelling of erythrocyte folate kept rising across the whole four weeks. After supplementation stopped, red blood cell folate and urinary folate excretion declined linearly, and serum folate fell with a slow-phase half-life of 18.7 days. One study, six men, no control group.

  • Biotinabout 5 to 6 months of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In an open trial with no placebo arm, 71 patients with brittle or splitting fingernails took 2.5 mg of biotin a day. Of the 45 cases that could be evaluated, 41 were rated as having firmer and harder nails after an average of 5.5 months of treatment, standard deviation 2.3 months. The rating was clinical judgement rather than an instrument reading, and there was no control group, so the window describes when the raters recorded change, not a placebo adjusted effect.

    Early
  • Iodinefrom about eight weeks, deepening through twenty-four weeksBuilds with daily use

    In a 24 week randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 112 mildly iodine-deficient New Zealand adults aged 18 to 40, 150 micrograms of iodine a day as potassium iodate lowered thyroglobulin, a blood marker of iodine status, by 12 percent at 8 weeks, 20 percent at 16 weeks and 27 percent at 24 weeks compared with placebo. Median urinary iodine reached 168 micrograms per litre against 79 on placebo. TSH and free T4 stayed within normal range and did not change significantly.

    Across three randomised placebo-controlled trials pooled as individual patient data (199 adults with naturally acquired colds, 80 to 92 mg of elemental zinc a day as acetate lozenges), 70 percent of the zinc group had recovered by day 5 against 27 percent on placebo, and colds ran 2.73 days shorter against a 7 day average duration. A separate meta-analysis of seven lozenge trials (575 participants, doses above 75 mg a day, zinc acetate or zinc gluconate) measured cold duration 33 percent shorter, with no significant difference between the two salts.

    Strong
  • Zincabout two to four weeks of daily intakeBuilds with daily use

    In a controlled feeding study in nine healthy men, six weeks of restricted zinc intake raised DNA strand breaks in peripheral blood cells, and four weeks of repletion at 11 mg a day, with 20 mg of supplemental zinc for the first seven days, reversed the rise. In a separate randomised placebo-controlled trial in 40 Ethiopian women eating a high-phytate diet, 20 mg a day of zinc sulfate for 17 days lowered mean comet tail moment from 39.7 to 30.0 while plasma zinc did not change significantly. Both windows were measured on a DNA damage marker in blood cells, not on a symptom.

    Early
  • Seleniumabout ten weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In a 12 week randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial in 119 healthy UK adults aged 50 to 64, mean plasma selenium rose from 95.7 ng/mL at baseline to steady state by week 10, reaching 118.3, 152.0 and 177.4 ng/mL on 50, 100 and 200 micrograms a day of selenium-enriched yeast. Plasma selenoprotein P rose in every selenium arm. Platelet glutathione peroxidase activity did not change significantly at any dose or form.

  • Inositolabout 20 to 22 weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In a randomised controlled pilot trial, pregnant women taking 2 g myo-inositol with folic acid twice daily showed lower serum asprosin and a lower HOMA-IR index, a marker of insulin sensitivity, after 20 to 22 weeks of supplementation, while the folic acid only group did not.

    Early
  • Coenzyme Q10about four weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    A randomised crossover trial in 36 healthy men compared two 100 mg coenzyme Q10 formulations. After four weeks of daily intake, fasting plasma coenzyme Q10 had roughly doubled from baseline for both preparations (p < 0.001), with no difference between formulations (p = 0.74). Plasma concentration was the measure, not a symptom.

    Promising
  • Coenzyme Q10peak blood levels roughly one to four hours after a single doseMeasured within a day

    A randomised single-dose crossover study gave 24 men 60 mg of coenzyme Q10 in four formulations and tracked plasma over 12 hours. Time to maximum plasma concentration was 1.3 and 2.0 hours for the fast-melting and effervescent forms against 3.7 and 4.1 hours for the soft gel and powder-filled forms. Total exposure was not significantly different between forms. Blood concentration was measured, no symptom outcome was assessed.

  • Alpha Lipoic Acidwithin about 30 minutes of a single doseMeasured within a day

    In an open-label randomized crossover study, 24 healthy adults took single 600 mg doses of racemic alpha-lipoic acid in different oral forms, and both enantiomers were absorbed rapidly, with median time to peak plasma concentration between 0.33 and 0.5 hours and blood sampling complete by 8 hours.

  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)

    Nothing acute to time. Pantothenate feeds coenzyme A production, which is a background supply job read in blood and urine rather than in how a day feels.

  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)

    Cycle-related use is usually described over one to two cycles. Otherwise it works as a background cofactor and reads in blood markers rather than as a sensation.

  • FolateAbout four to eight weeks

    Red cell folate climbs over roughly four to eight weeks. It's a blood panel change rather than a sensation.

Chemical form

The same ingredient, carried differently.

What each form is, and where it fits in a formula. Measured findings carry the study that reported them.

  • Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)

    The animal-sourced form of vitamin D, made in skin under UVB light and produced commercially from lanolin. Fat-soluble, so it travels with dietary fat and is stored in body fat.

    Fits
    Raising and holding vitamin D status, and the form most supplement trials use.
    Trade-off
    Being fat-soluble it accumulates with sustained high dosing, so intakes are set against the tolerable upper level rather than topped up freely.

    In a 12-week double-blind randomised controlled trial in 108 young women in urban Bangalore, most of whom began vitamin D-deficient, daily vitamin D3 at 400, 600 or 800 IU in a fortified wafer raised serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone fell over time, and effects on bone-turnover markers were modest and not dose specific. The 800 IU dose brought 65 percent of participants to sufficiency.

  • Riboflavin

    The unphosphorylated vitamin, a yellow orange crystalline solid with low water solubility

    Fits
    Dry dose forms such as tablets and capsules, where solubility matters less and cost per milligram is a consideration
    Trade-off
    Poorly soluble, so it is a difficult choice for a clear liquid, and it must be converted to FMN and FAD in the body before any enzyme can use it
  • Pyridoxine hydrochloride

    The hydrochloride salt of pyridoxine, the alcohol-form vitamer of vitamin B6, a methylated pyridine ring carrying two hydroxymethyl groups and a ring hydroxyl, crystallised with hydrochloric acid.

    Fits
    A dry, freely water-soluble crystalline powder that stands up to heat and long storage, which makes it a workhorse for multivitamin tablets, fortified foods and powders, and high-throughput manufacturing.
    Trade-off
    It is a precursor vitamer rather than the coenzyme itself, so it relies on the body's own enzymes to phosphorylate and oxidise it into pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form.
  • Calcium L-methylfolate

    The calcium salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the same reduced folate that already circulates in blood, so it joins the folate cycle without passing through dihydrofolate reductase. Only the 6S (L) diastereomer is the biologically usable one. The calcium salt exists because free 5-MTHF oxidises quickly in air and light and needs a crystalline form that can survive being weighed, blended and pressed.

    Fits
    Fits prenatal and methylation-themed formulas where a brand wants the circulating form named on the panel, and lines aimed at shoppers who ask about MTHFR variants. It arrives as a free-flowing powder on a carrier, since the neat material is too potent to weigh at production scale, and it blends into capsules, tablets and stick packs. Pairs naturally with a blister or a tight HDPE pack with desiccant.
    Trade-off
    Raw-material cost per microgram runs well above folic acid, and the powder is sensitive to heat, humidity, light and oxygen, which constrains gummies and long ambient shelf lives. Label maths differs too: a microgram of this form is not a microgram of folic acid in dietary folate equivalents, and a panel that ignores the conversion overstates the dose. The human record is mostly folate-status endpoints rather than clinical outcomes.

    Double-blind, randomised, parallel-group trial in 172 healthy women aged 18 to 40, comparing an oral contraceptive combined with levomefolate calcium against the same contraceptive plus folic acid over 24 weeks, then 20 weeks of follow-up. Mean concentration-time curves for plasma folate, red blood cell folate and homocysteine were comparable between the two groups. After dosing stopped, median time for red cell folate to fall below 906 nmol per litre was 10 weeks (95 percent CI 8 to 12). The study was designed and authored by Bayer HealthCare staff.

  • Methylcobalamin

    Cobalamin carrying a methyl group on the cobalt centre, the same species used directly by methionine synthase.

    Fits
    Oral tablets, capsules and powders where a preformed methylated cofactor is wanted.
    Trade-off
  • Choline bitartrate

    Choline paired with L-(+)-tartaric acid as a crystalline, freely water-soluble salt.

    Fits
    Capsules, tablets and powders where a plain choline load is wanted and the tartrate acidity is acceptable.
    Trade-off
    A large share of the tablet weight is the tartrate counter-ion, so the label dose of salt is well above the choline it delivers.
  • 3 more
  • Myo-inositol

    The most common naturally occurring stereoisomer of inositol, a six-carbon sugar alcohol (cyclohexanehexol). It is the form found in most foods and in the body's own inositol pool, and is supplied as a free white crystalline powder.

    Fits
    It dissolves readily in water with a mild sweet taste, so it suits high-gram powders, stick packs and drink mixes where a large scoop needs to go into solution cleanly. It is also the form the bulk of inositol research has used.
    Trade-off
    Doses are counted in grams rather than milligrams, so it adds noticeable bulk to a capsule line and usually pushes a product toward a powder or several capsules per serving.
  • Ubiquinone

    The oxidised, quinone form of coenzyme Q10: a fat soluble benzoquinone ring carrying a ten unit isoprenoid tail, supplied as a yellow orange crystalline powder made by yeast fermentation. It is the redox form nearly all CoQ10 raw material ships as, and the form used across the long running clinical trial record.

    Fits
    Formulas built on that historical trial record, including the cardiovascular outcome trials, which used the oxidised form. As a stable crystalline material it handles well in a factory without the oxygen excluding packing a reduced form asks for, and it goes into softgels, tablets, hard capsules and dry blends alike.
    Trade-off
    Oral absorption of CoQ10 in any redox form is low and depends heavily on the lipid matrix around it. The head to head crossovers against ubiquinol are small, short and single dose, so they settle little on their own.
  • Alpha-lipoic acid (racemic)

    A 50:50 mixture of the R and S enantiomers of lipoic acid, sold as the free acid. The same molecule is also labelled thioctic acid.

    Fits
    A low-cost form to produce and the one used across most of the older clinical literature, which makes it a straightforward default for a general-purpose formula.
    Trade-off
    Half of the labelled material is the S enantiomer, which does not occur naturally, and as a free acid it can polymerise when exposed to heat or stomach acid.

    In an open-label four-way crossover in 24 adults, a racemic solution produced higher peak plasma concentrations of both enantiomers than the 200, 300, and 600 mg tablet forms.
