1. Why did you buy MicroVitamin?
After becoming interested in optimizing my lifestyle for ideal health and maximum healthspan, I was quickly overwhelmed by the huge amount of very conflicting advice you can find online. Being a scientist myself (PhD in Physics with specialization in Biophysics & statistical analysis), I quickly realized that most online sources seemed to pick out research that supported their narrative, while neglecting conflicting studies and without any regard for the weight of a study (i.e. human clinical trial vs. single-cell study).
I then found Dr. Brad Stanfield, who is much more conservative and very critical in his analysis of scientific evidence and therefore gave much better advice. This is also why I agree with the formulation with MicroVitamin, which is not true for pretty much any other supplement. Competitor usually contain by far too high doses, or unwanted additions like Vitamins A & E.
2. What has been your experience so far?
Great - the pills are super easy to use and I have not seen any unwanted side-effects.
3. What benefits have you noticed?
I am in the process of many lifestyle changes, but proper supplementation of my very healthy Mediterranean-Style, but vegan diet is a major point. I have noticed improvements in exercise performance, general well-being and sleep, which is awesome. I believe this is at least partly attributed to the supplements (Microvitamin, Psyllium Husk, Creatine, Protein, Omega-3)
4. Would you recommend MicroVitamin to your friends and family?
I have absolutely done that and my wife has started using it, too.
As I try to keep a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and attempt to get enough sleep, I can't make any outlandish claims that I suddenly feel so much healthier or more energetic since taking MicroVitamin. However, I've liked that I can take out a few extra bottles from my supplement rotation, and I definitely am reassured by the fact that the formula is constantly being updated and tweaked based on new information and research. A big thank you to Dr Brad for his efforts!
It's great that many ingredients are included in one capsule. Plus I know that the ingredients are pure and of high quality because of the testing certificates provided
I love how simple my supplement stack has become after starting using Brads micro vitamin
As my testimony states, I have been able to reduce my vitamin/supplement load substantially by taking MicroVitamin! I appreciate the thought and research put into this product. jt
As new research is published, the Microvitamin recipe evolves. I'm happy to outsource the optimization of my supplements to Dr Brad the same way I'd be happy to outsource optimizing my investments to Warren Buffet.
I used to have many bottles of different supplements, and MicroVitamin is great because it combines a lot of what I was taking into one supplement.
I wanted something that doesn't megadose on ingredients. Too many multivitamins have too many ingredients that aren't needed and not enough of the ingredients that are. I also like the publishing of the certificate of analysis
The philosophy of micro, of not deluging the body with unnecessary ingredients, is a really important approach. Only give as much as the human body needs
Really good experience. My sleep has improved, as has my blood work. My exercise performance has also gone up, likely because of the TMG in MicroVitamin
MicroVitamin is science-based and sourced well. I could cut away a huge amount of other supplements because they are included in MicroVitamin and it made my day-to-day life much easier
I had researched molecules and which ones I believe to be effective. That meant I had 12 pill bottles on my bathroom counter. MicroVitamin allowed me to take a single supplement with the ingredients I wanted
I like that it's a lower dose. Most multivitamins dose their ingredients too high. Plus I try to look after my skin so having the Hyaluronic Acid is a great addition
Safeguard against any micronutrient deficiencies. Plus being able to get most of my other supplements all in one has been very helpful
I had 17 bottles of different supplements and a lot of them are in MicroVitamin. This helped me manage my supplement stack and stay up to date
Dr. Stanfield's microvitamin is based on up-to-date scientific evidence and puts a large number of proven vitamins and supplements in one place. If you trust science trust Dr. Stanfield's microvitamin.
I bought MicroVitamin because I was looking for a high-quality multivitamin to supplement my diet. I wanted a product that contained scientifically backed ingredients and dosages, and MicroVitamin stood out due to its transparency and the comprehensive information provided on the website. The careful consideration of dosage amounts and vitamin forms was particularly appealing to me. I also appreciate that Dr. Stanfield updates the formula when new, solid evidence emerges. The recent changes look very promising to me. The switch from tablets to capsules is great, and the addition of boron is a nice touch.
I would definitely recommend MicroVitamin. It offers a well-rounded blend of essential vitamins and minerals, and the careful formulation gives me confidence in its efficacy. It is truly unique in today’s multivitamin market.

I feel better and more confident with Micro Vitamin after breakfast. I like the fact
that it also has TMG and Hyaluronic acid. It supplies all the B vitamins in the
right doses for my needs, I was happy to see it now has 50 mcg of vitamin D.
The complete list of ingredients makes my supplement stack smaller and simpler.
Overall I am very happy with MircoVitamin. What I am missing is a single blog post or pdf that explains the reasoning and lists the original studies justifying every ingredient and its dose. It is probably possible to piece such a list together from Dr. Brads various Youtube videos but this is very inconvienent. Such an article seems especially relevant since 3 ingredients in Mircovitamin are far above the daily recommended dose - for good reason I am confident - which seems to go against one of the basic thoughts underlying the supplement. If the resulting article/pdf/paper is 20-30 pages long that would be fine, it would serve more as a reference than as something to read as a whole.
Experienced longer sleep and more dreams the first week but back to under 6 hrs and no memory of dreams. Too soon to tell.
I cannot know in 1 month how effective it is
This vitamin and mineral supplement has a great composition but I have not been able to completely evaluate it as I have not used it long enough.
I also appreciate that the testing reports are available on the web site without any special requests. Toxin content testing is very important for me.
