Ritual Essential for Women 18+
Ritual sells a lineup of demographic-specific multivitamins — separate formulas for Women 18+, Women 50+, Men, and Teens — and the one reviewed here is the Women 18+ version: a two-capsule daily blend aimed at the nutrient gaps common to that group's typical diet.
Where Ritual sets itself apart is publishing a full sourcing page for each active ingredient, naming the supplier and the exact form used for that nutrient. That's a real transparency practice, and the doses printed on the label match what the sourcing pages describe — worth noting since plenty of multivitamin brands don't go that far.
Manufacturing and certifications
Production happens in NSF-certified (cGMP) facilities, and the finished formula itself carries Non-GMO Project Verified and Clean Label Project certification. Ritual the company also holds Certified B Corporation status. It's also a relatively young company as supplement makers go — a direct-to-consumer brand founded in 2016 and venture-backed — which is a business-history detail worth knowing rather than a mark against the formula itself.
What's actually in a serving
A serving is two vegan capsules, and one bottle holds 30 servings (60 capsules total) — a one-month supply at the labeled dose.
| Vitamin D | 50mcg (2,000 IU) |
| Vitamin E | 6.7mg |
| Folate | 1,000mcg DFE |
| Vitamin B12 | 8mcg |
| Iron | 8mg |
| Magnesium | 30mg |
| Omega-3 DHA | 330mg |
| Boron | 0.7mg |
| Vitamin K2 | 90mcg |
Two doses worth flagging
The 8mg of iron means anyone with hemochromatosis, or already taking a separate iron supplement, should check with a doctor before stacking this on top — iron can build up to harmful levels in the body when it comes from more than one source at once. The 330mg of omega-3 DHA carries a caution common to fish-oil-derived ingredients too: a mild blood-thinning effect, so anyone on blood-thinning medication should ask a doctor before adding it.
Where to look for it
Between the sourcing disclosures and the certifications that do check out, this is a formula we're comfortable pointing to directly.
