Fat-soluble vitamins—like vitamins A, D, E, and K— are generally better absorbed if taken with a meal that contains fat.† While our Advanced Omega-3 contains 2.5 grams of fat per serving and may support some absorption†, research suggests that meals with approximately 15 grams of fat may lead to better absorption†. For best results, we recommend taking Basic One with a complete meal that includes healthy fats, such as those from nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, or fatty fish.

While both Centrum and Cooper Complete Basic One Daily Multivitamin provide essential vitamins and minerals, there are several key differences in their formulations For example, Basic One contains twice the amount of vitamin D, a nutrient many adults do not get enough of through diet or sunlight alone†. We’ve created a detailed comparison to help you evaluate the differences in formulation. To explore the differences, read this article about how to compare multivitamins.

Basic One Daily Multivitamin Iron Free is Cooper Clinic’s baseline multivitamin recommendation—designed to provide essential nutrients in a single, easy-to-take tablet per day. In contrast, the Original Comprehensive Multivitamin Iron Free is a more robust formula, offering additional ingredients and higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals. This side-by-side comparison of the multivitamin and mineral formulations provides an easy-to-read snapshot of Basic One Daily Multivitamin against Cooper Complete Original Comprehensive Multivitamin, which also includes coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for heart health†, lutein and zeaxanthin for skin and eye support,† biotin to support hair and nails,† and higher levels of vitamins A, C, and K, magnesium and the B vitamins thiamin and riboflavin.

The serving size for Basic One Daily Multivitamin is one (1) tablet per day, while Original Comprehensive Multivitamin is eight (8) tablets per day (ideally, four (4) with breakfast and four (4) with dinner).

The Basic One Iron Free is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Florida.

Basic One multivitamin does not contain potassium. Original Multivitamins (Iron and Iron-Free) contain 400 mg of potassium per serving if you need a multivitamin with potassium.

Yes. The amount of vitamin E in Cooper Complete Basic One is 134 mg (200 IU), which is well within the safe range. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has set the upper tolerable intake level for supplemental vitamin E at 1000 mg (1500 IU) per day.

National nutrition surveys, including NHANES, have shown that many Americans get less than the recommended daily amount of vitamin E through food alone†. Our product doses are based on scientific research and designed to safely help fill nutrient gaps†.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin B6 in adults is 100 mg for adults. This includes intake from food sources and supplements. The 10 mg of B6 found in Cooper Complete Basic One Multivitamin is well within this safety range. However, because our multivitamin and B Complex supplement are both high in B vitamins, we generally recommend taking one or the other—not both—unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation found in the blood, increasing when there’s inflammation in the body. Your physician may order this blood test as part of your annual exam. Basic One has been found to lower C-Reactive Protein by 13 percent†.

Yes, the pill color is now cream-colored with speckles. We made the change to have a cleaner label. The pill color is the only change we have made, as the vitamins and minerals remain the same.

Calcium requirements vary by age and gender so a “one size fits all” isn’t optimal. Cooper Clinic physicians encourage patients to consume calcium through food rather than supplementation. We recommend calcium citrate if you need more calcium than what’s consumed in your normal daily diet.

Quatrefolic® is a brand name for a patented form of glucosamine salt of (6S)-methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) made by Gnosis by Lesaffre. It is structurally like the reduced and active form of folic acid. 5-MTHF circumvents this mutation and allows the body to get the supplement’s benefits. Almost 45 percent of the U.S. population has a mutation in one of the enzymes involved in folic acid metabolism.

The FDA changed nutrition (food) and supplement facts panels to make it easier to understand, and the International Unit (IU) measure is going away. 134 mg of vitamin E d-alpha-tocopheryl is equal to 200 mg. To convert from IU of vitamin E to mcg of vitamin E, multiply by 0.67.

D-alpha-tocopheryl succinate vitamin E is a natural (non-synthetic) form of vitamin E. Studies have shown that natural vitamin E is better absorbed and retained in the body than synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol.

The FDA changed nutrition (food) and supplement facts panels to make them easier to understand. To convert from mcg (microgram) to Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE), divide by 0.60. (This conversion applies to both folic acid and 5-MTHF.)

The FDA changed nutrition (food) and supplement facts panels to make it easier to understand, and the International Unit (IU) measure is going away. 600 mcg vitamin A is the same amount of vitamin A as 2000 IU. To convert from IU of vitamin A or beta-carotene to mcg RAE (Retinol Activity Equivalents), multiply by 0.30.

The FDA changed nutrition (food) and supplement facts panels to make it easier to understand, and the International Unit (IU) measure for vitamins and supplements has been eliminated. 50 mcg vitamin D is the same amount of vitamin D as 2,000 IU. To convert from IU of vitamin D to mcg of vitamin D, multiply by 0.025.

While the level of B vitamins in Basic One should not disrupt sleep, we suggest this multivitamin and mineral supplement be taken with breakfast or lunch if this is a concern.
