Start with your current routine
List fortified foods, drinks, and other supplements before adding a multi. That makes ingredient overlap easier to spot.

Use life-stage context carefully
Products marketed by age, sex, pregnancy, or another life stage can differ meaningfully. Pregnancy and medication questions belong with a clinician.
