Ritual Essential for Women 18+
by Ritual
"The transparent, traceable multivitamin that disrupted the industry"
Overview
Ritual Essential for Women 18+ is the subscription multivitamin that disrupted the supplement industry with radical transparency. Each nutrient is traceable to its source, and Ritual publishes the exact supplier, form, and country of origin for every ingredient. The formula contains only 9 nutrients that research shows women commonly lack — no megadoses of nutrients you already get from food. The delayed-release capsule design delivers nutrients to the small intestine for better absorption.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
- Full ingredient traceability — know exactly where each nutrient comes from
- Only 9 key nutrients women commonly lack
- Active forms (methylfolate, methylcobalamin)
- Includes omega-3 DHA in the capsule
- Delayed-release for better absorption
What Could Be Better
- Only 9 nutrients — not comprehensive
- Subscription model (though available on Amazon)
- Premium price for limited nutrient count

Who Is This For?
Best For
- Women who eat well but want to fill gaps
- Transparency-focused consumers

- Minimalist supplement users
Not Ideal For

Our Verdict
Ritual revolutionized supplement transparency, and the targeted 9-nutrient approach is smart for women who eat a balanced diet. However, if you have multiple deficiencies or want comprehensive coverage, a traditional multivitamin provides more value.
