We often get asked how these two products differ and why one would choose MultiV-PRO or MultiV. The following information will help explain the differences so you can decide which product suits you best.
Endurance athletes put a lot of stress on their body and accordingly they have significantly different needs and requirements than the general population. Because of this, higher levels of micro-nutrients are required in order to avoid overtraining and other ailments. In addition to having the highest quality, most bio-available vitamins and chelated minerals, both products offer clinically effective doses of enzymes, green tea and ginkgo biloba.
Both MultiV and MultiV-PRO should be viewed as a comprehensive daily multivitamin for athletes who train strenuously.
With MultiV-PRO, you get a pre-biotic gut health blend, premium immune system support, and a clinically effective dose of Vitamin D. These benefits are critical to athletes who train like a professional athlete and/or those spending time at altitude.
- With heavy training loads, athletes consume large amounts of calories, mainly in the form of carbohydrates. This can put a high demand on the digestive system often resulting in gastric distress. Research shows nearly 70% of athletes training strenuously experience gut discomfort. The combination of digestive enzymes along with a pre-biotic blend of saccharomyces cerevisiae and fructo oligosaccharides in MultiV-PRO assures that intestinal flora and general gut health can keep up with the consumption of calories.
- MultiV-PRO supports the immune system with a clinically effective dose of Beta Glucan. Historically athletes used high levels of antioxidants or vitamin C to ward off illness and to strengthen the immune. These methods have been shown to hinder mitochondrial biogenysis. In other words, these antioxidants limit the very endurance gains you are seeking. With 1,3/1,6 Beta Glucan, you can make endurance gains and simultaneously strengthen your immune system, allowing you to remain healthy and continue training every day.
- MultiV-PRO contains a clinically effective dose of 2,500IU Vitamin D. Vitamin D plays a role in bone strength, immune function, inflammation and muscle strength.
Which product is right for me?
Use MultiV if you are training hard. If your training escalates to a level that compares to a professional athlete, then consider upgrading to the MultiV-PRO.
Also consider the MultiV-PRO if you live at altitude, have low vitamin D levels and want premium immune support.
*Athletes can effectively go back and forth between both products. It’s perfectly acceptable to use MultiV for a couple months during the off season or light training and switch to the MultiV-PRO for heavy training months.
Is it OK to use MultiV even when you are not training or your training load is very light? Is it safe even for non-athletes?
Hi Evan,
Yes, MultiV is ideal even when you aren’t training hard. It delivers unmatched antioxidant protection as well as clinically effective doses of iron, vitamin k2 and vitamin D.
If I can’t get multiV becuase you’re out of stock, and there is no restocl date, do you recommend another product in the meantime (not made by 1st endurance)
Hi Seth,
MultiV is in stock now. Sorry for the delay.
I have been taking OptygenHP for over 6 months now. I just ordered MultiV-Pro. Will I see additional benefits from taking both? Im a 2:42 marathoner trying to get faster.
I have noticed both Multi V and Multi V pro have vitamin K2 (menaquinone). Which variant are you using MK4 or MK7?
Dan, We use MK7 for our vitamin K.
How much time is required to feel the benefits of MultiV Pro?
This is a Multivitamin that has multiple benefits. Some benefits like that of Iron can take a month or longer to experience, other benefits like that of Beta Glucan are immediate.
How much time is required to feel the benefits of MultiV Pro?
MultiVPRO is first and foremost a multivitamin. If one were deficient in a key micro-nutrient the benefits would be felt right away. Within a couple days for sure. If not deficient in any micronutrient then the benefits are long-term systemic in nature where through numerous systems working better athletes train better. IE: One component is improved intestinal flora (gut health), which helps digestion and absorption of foods. This benefit could take time before it really shines.
