Vous Vitamin Personalized Multivitamin for Men Review

Vous Vitamin Personalized Multivitamins

Since multivitamins and other supplements are not regulated by the FDA, they often contain all types of substances. Drs. Romy Block and Arielle Levitan, who founded Vous Vitamin, realized companies were able to make all kinds of claims as to the health benefits without truly understanding the scientific evidence. What's more, products that do contain useful vitamins and minerals often far exceed recommended dosages, which can be dangerous in and of itself.

The two doctors who founded Vous have extensive backgrounds in study of the human metabolism, endocrinology, and preventative medicine, and co-wrote the award-winning book, The Vitamin Solution. Vous offers a customized vitamin taking into consideration a customer's lifestyle and nutritional needs. Age and location can also figure into a person's vitamin requirements. 

Vous' website offers a vitamin survey that takes about five minutes. After providing their email, customers will be asked their:

• Gender
• Age
• Location
• Diet and exercise habits
• Ethnicity
• Dietary restrictions
• Family health disorders
• Smoking, alcohol consumption, hours of sleep per night

Vous multivitamins are produced using Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This is set of quality control production protocols that ensure uniform quality checks and highest industry standards. Good Manufacturing Practices are certified and enforced by NSF International, the Public Health and Safety Organiziation.

Vitamin and Mineral Composition

Vous offers a personalized multivitamin based on customers' answers to several categories of health questions. Therefore, each formulation of vitamins and minerals will vary by answers to these questions. It is also important to note here that Vous does not offer an individually manufactured pill for each customer, as this would be economically prohibitive. Rather, Vous produces a range of ingredients and amounts. This matching process between the customer and their custom vitamin formula is unique compared to the vitamin pack companies that put multiple pills into a personalzied vitamin pack. Vous Vitamin formuals are designed to integrate nutrients for optimal balance and absorption.

In addition to the daily personalized multivitamin, Vous does offer three "situational supplements" of four pills to be taken when needed. These products are:

Power Up - $5.00 one pack, $40 ten packs
Immune Blast - $5.00 one pack, $40 ten packs
Recovery Act - $5.00 one pack, $40 ten packs

Similar to the personalized vitamins, the vitamin and mineral composition of these packs is also not listed.

Other Medicinal/Dietary Ingredients

Vous Vitamins appear to only contain varying levels traditional vitamins and nutrients that the company says are determined by several factors including a customer's age, gender, health, location, and lifestyle.

Price

When we went through the Vous vitamin survey we found that a 43 year old, non smoking man living in the Southeast with no health conditions got quoted the following prices. The prices only change based on the preferred shipping option (1-month vs. 3-month vs. 6-month) and the prices do not vary by the formula on the personalized multivitamin to provide the customer with price predictability. Customers have the flexibility to cancel or change their subscription package at any time. 

1-Month Subscription - $39.99
3-Month Subscription - $31.65/month
6-Month Subscription - $27.49/month

Vous Vitamin - Summed Up

Vous offers a great online ordering experience, along with a straightforward description of its product. We like how the company is run by physicians. We also liked the breakdown of vitamins and minerals provided after we went through the vitamin survey. Vous explains exactly what they are putting in the bottle, and how each individual vitamin/nutrient might benefit you.
