In this short video, the speaker outlines three key ingredients to avoid in multivitamins. First, she warns against cyanocobalamin, the synthetic form of vitamin B12, because it converts to cyanide in the body, and advises choosing methylcobalamin instead. Second, she recommends selecting folate rather than folic acid, noting that about one‑third of people carry an MTHFR genetic variant that impairs folic acid metabolism, making natural folate a more bioavailable option. Third, she cautions against multivitamins that contain added colors, flavors, sugars, or food dyes, urging consumers to look for clean, additive‑free formulations. The video concludes with a call to visit her website for curated, kid‑safe supplement recommendations.

3 things that you should never have in the multivitamin you're taking. All right, did you know that some of the ingredients in your daily multivitamins could actually be harmful? First and foremost, always avoid cyanocobalamin in your vitamin B12. This form of B12 is broken down into cyanide in the body, which is obviously not a good thing. Instead, opt for methylcobalamin form of B12. Okay, secondly, look for folate instead of folic acid in your multivitamin. Roughly 1 in 3 people have an MTHFR genetic variant, which can make it difficult to process folic acid properly. So by choosing a supplement that contains folate instead, you're ensuring that your body is able to properly absorb and use this important nutrient. Okay, lastly, take a close look at all the additives in your multivitamin. Avoid anything with added colors, flavors, sugars, food dyes.
