Our review
Nature Made Multi for Him is a no-frills, iron-free men's multivitamin that does what a basic multi should. One tablet supplies 22 vitamins and minerals, mostly at 100% to 200% of the Daily Value, for about 11 cents a day at a typical retail price of $10.18 for 90 tablets.
The dosing is conservative and sensible for adult men. There is no iron, which most men don't need in supplement form, alongside 1,000 IU of vitamin D3, 18 mcg of B12, 400 mcg of folic acid, 150 mcg of iodine, 11 mg of zinc with copper, 55 mcg of selenium and 80 mcg of vitamin K. Nothing approaches an upper limit, so it pairs safely with fortified foods or a separate vitamin D. Magnesium (100 mg) and calcium (160 mg) cover only a fraction of daily needs, as in almost every one-a-day tablet.
The ingredient forms are the inexpensive, standard ones: magnesium and zinc oxide, cyanocobalamin, synthetic dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate and folic acid. They are well studied and adequate for most people, though pricier formulas use chelated minerals. The tablet also contains gelatin, so it is not suitable for vegetarians.
Its biggest advantage is independent verification. The product carries the USP Verified mark, meaning USP has tested ingredients, potency and the manufacturing process, which is uncommon at this price. Nature Made has also revised the formula: the current label lists less zinc, selenium, copper, chromium and molybdenum than the 2022 version, so older bottles and some retailer listings show higher amounts. Video reviewers describe the tablet as easy to swallow.

Questions buyers ask
Why doesn't Multi for Him contain iron?
Adult men need only 8 mg of iron a day, an amount most get from food, so Nature Made leaves it out of its men's formulas. The brand also recommends that adults over 50 choose a multivitamin without iron unless a healthcare professional suggests otherwise. Men with a diagnosed deficiency should use a targeted iron supplement under medical guidance.
Is Nature Made Multi for Him vegetarian?
No. The other ingredients include gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient, so the tablets are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The formula is labeled gluten-free, with no color added and no artificial flavors. Vegetarian men should look for a gelatin-free multi and check that it supplies vitamin B12, which plant-based diets often lack.
Why do some listings show different zinc and selenium amounts?
Nature Made has revised the formula. The label recorded in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database in 2022 listed 15 mg zinc, 70 mcg selenium, 2 mg copper and 120 mcg chromium. The current label lists 11 mg zinc, 55 mcg selenium, 0.9 mg copper and 35 mcg chromium, closer to 100% of the Daily Value. Check the panel on the bottle you receive.
