Nearly a third of Australians consult their local GP before they decide to start consuming multivitamins, according to our latest survey.
A large proportion of Australians now use multivitamins every day to supplement their diet. In fact a huge 70% of respondents to our latest survey admit to consuming a vitamin daily.
But customers are unsure as to what they should buy, with more than two in five unable to discern which multivitamin is best suited for their needs.
Doctors recommend that anyone considering taking multivitamins as part of their daily regime should consult their local GP. Otherwise, customers might find they’re spending good money on a product they don’t need.
Our survey also found that customers of Centrum are the most satisfied with their multivitamin product. The US-based company has taken away our most satisfied customers award for multivitamins.
Other brands rated were Swisse, Herron, Cenovis, Blackmores, Nature’s Way and Nature’s Own.
Centrum performed strongly in our survey, receiving five stars in six out of the seven criteria rated – including overall satisfaction. Aussie brand Herron proved a customer favourite for price.
Our findings also show a higher rate of consumption of multivitamins in older Aussies, with three quarters of Baby Boomers taking one daily in comparison to 69% of Generation X and 62% of Generation Y respondents.

The outcomes reported are the results from customers of multivitamins within the survey group. To qualify, the customer has to have taken a multivitamin in the last twelve months.
