With over 75% of people taking dietary supplements, multivitamins have become a staple in our daily routines (4).
But have you ever stopped to question whether your multivitamin is truly giving your body what it needs?
Introducing MicroVitamin: A Thoughtfully Crafted Low-Dose Multivitamin & Mineral
Most multivitamins on the market today contain excessively high doses of vitamins and minerals, which may lead to potential side effects and wasted resources (5).
MicroVitamin is different. Dr Brad has carefully crafted the formula (now on formula version 5) based on scientific research to help you reach the optimal recommended daily intakes of essential nutrients (both vitamins and minerals) while promoting a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

A Balanced Diet Comes First
MicroVitamin is designed to complement a healthy diet, not replace it. Dr Brad emphasizes that obtaining nutrients from a variety of whole foods is crucial for optimal health. MicroVitamin aims to fill the gaps and support your nutritional needs when your diet falls short, ensuring you maintain a well-rounded and balanced approach to your health.
The MicroVitamin Difference
✓ Enhanced Cognition: Regularly hitting your recommended daily micronutrient intakes isn't just good for your body – it sharpens your mind too. Studies show that balanced nutrition significantly improves cognition (1), helping you stay focused and mentally agile.
✓ Embrace Moderation: MicroVitamin is meticulously designed to deliver the perfect balance of vitamins, minerals, Trimethylglycine (TMG), and hyaluronic acid. This careful formulation avoids overloading your body and eliminates the risks associated with excessive supplementation (5).
✓ Improved Exercise Performance: Power up your workouts with MicroVitamin's 500mg of Trimethylglycine (TMG). Proven to enhance strength, power, and endurance in conjunction with exercise (3), TMG also acts as a methyl-donor, reducing homocysteine levels for an extra health boost. It's not just about getting fit; it's about optimizing every aspect of your performance.
✓ Achieve Glowing Skin: Our unique blend includes hyaluronic acid 200mg, a powerful ingredient known to promote skin health and hydration (2), giving you a radiant complexion from the inside out.

What's Improved in MicroVitamin Formula Version 5?
Several key improvements have been made to the MicroVitamin formula to enhance its effectiveness and purity. Here’s what’s new:
1. Switch from Tablets to Capsules: The transition from tablets to capsules allows for a 'cleaner' supplement. Capsules do not require binders, making the formula purer with fewer unnecessary additives.
2. Increased B-Vitamin Levels:
- Many of the B-vitamins have been increased from 50% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) to 75% RDA.
- Vitamin B12, in particular, has been significantly increased from 50% RDA to 500% RDA.
3. Enhanced Vitamin C: The Vitamin C content has been raised to 50% RDA, boosting daily intake to support immune function and skin health.
4. Boosted Iodine and Zinc: Both iodine and zinc have been increased from 50% to 75% RDA.
5. Addition of Boron: 1mg of Boron has been added to the formula.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Should I Store The Pills?
Please keep your MicroVitamin pills in their original bottle. The Choline, TMG, and Hyaluronic Acid in the formula are hygroscopic, meaning they attract moisture. Keeping the pills in their airtight container helps prevent them from swelling.

Why Do MicroVitamin Pills Have a Strong Smell?
You might notice that MicroVitamin pills have a distinctive scent. This is completely normal and is due to the organic form of selenium we use, known as selenomethionine.
Selenomethionine contains methionine, a sulfur-rich natural amino acid also found in foods known for their pungent aroma, like eggs, garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables.
This characteristic smell is a sign of the high-quality, organic selenium we incorporate for its health benefits, ensuring you're getting the most effective form of this essential mineral.
Why Does A Serving Of MicroVitamin Require Multiple Pills?
To deliver the full spectrum of nutrients in effective doses, multiple pills per serving are essential.
Take Magnesium Taurate, for example. It comprises only 8% elemental magnesium.
To achieve the 126mg of elemental magnesium we aim for in MicroVitamin, we need to include over 1500mg of Magnesium Taurate alone.
This scenario is just one of many that highlight the necessity of multiple pills to encompass all the beneficial ingredients in their optimal dosages.
Can I Purchase MicroVitamin in New Zealand?
MicroVitamin is not available for purchase in New Zealand.
As a practicing medical doctor in New Zealand, I adhere to the guidelines set by the New Zealand Medical Council, which include strict rules to prevent any potential conflicts of interest for doctors in relation to supplement sales.
This is a policy I fully support, as it upholds the integrity and trust in the medical profession.
Why Doesn't MicroVitamin Contain Vitamin A or E?
In designing MicroVitamin, Dr Brad decided against including Vitamin A or E based on research suggesting potential risks. Specifically, studies indicate that supplements containing beta-carotene, vitamin E, or high doses of vitamin A may be associated with an increased risk of mortality.
Learn more about the research behind this decision here.
Limited Supply, Maximum Quality
MicroVitamin is a new supplement, and as we ramp up production while ensuring the highest quality possible, there’s a supply shortage.
To allow as many people as possible to use MicroVitamin, we’ve put a limit of twelve bottles per customer.
We appreciate your understanding as we strive to provide the highest quality product for you and your loved ones.
The Reason Behind Our Specific Vitamin B3 Dose
At first glance, you may notice that our vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide) dosage is higher than the typical recommended daily allowances (RDA) - but there's a crucial reason for this. Our 50mg dose of Vitamin B3, equating to 313% of the RDA(5), has been carefully chosen to support your body's NAD levels. NAD is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a pivotal role in numerous key biological processes, and Vitamin B3 is fundamental to its production(6).
Transparency is key in our ethos, and we believe understanding these nuances helps you make informed decisions about your health. Rest assured, every aspect of MicroVitamin is designed with your well-being and scientifically-backed precision in mind.
A note from Dr Brad Stanfield, Primary Care Physician
As a medical doctor and health influencer, I’ve been involved in the development and promotion of MicroVitamin. My primary goal is to support the well-being of my audience, and I genuinely believe that MicroVitamin can provide benefits to those who need it. I can’t emphasize enough however that a balanced diet comes first, and I strongly advise you to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.
