8 Essential Nutrients in 1
The ultimate multivitamin for plant-based eaters.
A growing body of scientific research shows that due to poor soil quality, lack of food diversity, and because certain nutrients aren’t abundantly found in plant foods, there are a few nutrients most plant-based eaters benefit from adding to their diets.
Essential has 8 critical and hard-to-get nutrients that are designed to optimize your plant-based diet and give you peace of mind.

The superior source of omega-3 fatty acids is plant-based.
No fishy flavor here, just the light and refreshing essence of peppermint. Our 100% plant-based sources of DHA and EPA are made entirely from algae (algal oil). While plant-based sources of the omega-3 ALA are more accessible through nuts and seeds, getting an optimal amount of DHA and EPA from food is difficult for plant-based eaters. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for long-term heart health, brain development, memory, and even vision and mood.
Why did we change from a softgel to a capsule?
You may have noticed we recently switched from a soft gel enclosure to a more traditional capsule. The capsule is more durable in the packaging, reducing the risk of leakage. It also contains fewer ingredients and carrageenan free.
Why not other multivitamins?
Complement Essential is specifically formulated for optimal nutrient intake together with a balanced, plant-based diet. Essential provides you with the 8 hard-to-get nutrients you need to optimize your foundational health and thrive.
Should I take all 3 capsules at once for the daily dose, or one with each meal?
There shouldn’t be any difference between taking all three capsules with a single meal or spacing them throughout the day.
What is the shelf life of these multivitamins?
2 years. If the manufacture date is printed on pouch, expiration date will be 2 years later (MFG:05/2022 means expiration is 05/2024). Otherwise, the expiration date is the exact date printed on the pouch (EXP:11/2024 means expiration is 11/2024).
What is the difference between MFG & EXP date?
Pouches have either the manufacture date (MFG) or expiration (EXP) date on the side or bottom. If a pouch shows ‘MFG: 05/2022’, expiration date is 05/2024 (2 years from manufacture). If a pouch shows ‘EXP: 11/2024’, that is the expiration date.

I’m a 59-year-old female and every time I washed my hair I was experiencing scary amounts of hair coming out. After two months of almost daily use of these capsules (I occasionally forget), that completely disappeared, and each time I wash my hair now there are barely a few strands. I have no idea what other health benefits there may be from these vitamins, and they are ridiculously expensive, but I haven’t experienced any of the problems others state in their reviews — such as rancid tablets — and I’m going to certainly keep using them. I bought directly from the company at first, but it’s easier and sometimes slightly less expensive to receive them as part of my monthly subscriptions. If I have any problems with quality in the future, I will switch back to buying from the company because I think the customer service may be better that way.
My bench came cracked so I have to return it for another one. It is super cute though. –
I was looking g forward to trying these for the first time and got referred to me by a friend. I dont usually like to complain. But upon receiving my package and opening it it looks to me that this item belonged to someone else who returned it. The packaging was all crumpled like its been thrown around. I opened it up to look inside and something exploded inside and got all over. Not to mention a terrible smell. This does not seem to me like something I should consume.

Started taking this product that was recommended to me by my sister. Since a few months before Covid, I started losing copious amounts of hair at an alarming rate. After being tested for everything, it was just dismissed as alopecia and was prescribed different medications to try and combat it all to no avail. I fluctuate between vegan/vegetarian for 20 years. After almost 3 years of sufficient hair loss and meds – these supplements have seemed to slow it down. I started noticing a difference after a month of use. I still lose hair in the shower, but more equivalent to what I would lose normally as opposed to a wig murder scene – which helped my anxiety immensely as washing my hair day was giving me panic attacks. I’ll keep taking these for as long as they continue to help – or I go broke.
