Built on Western dataRead this before your next refill
Most multivitamins are dosed for Western diets and researched on Western bodies. If you're Asian, yours could be missing the nutrients you need most.
The problem
Three things the label on your current bottle won't tell you.
Most multis are dosed using Western diet surveys and Western research. Asian adults tend to have different nutrient gaps, so the doses can miss exactly where you need them.
Generic multis assume dairy every day, hours of sun and a Western plate. Your day looks more like rice, noodles, kopi and long hours indoors under the air-con.
To keep costs down, generic multis lean on cheap forms like magnesium oxide and zinc oxide. Your body absorbs these poorly, so less of what's on the label actually reaches you.

9 in 10
best-selling multis use forms that are cheaper to make, and harder for your body to use.
The takeaway
It's not you. It's your multi.
So we made one around Asian bodies, diets and lifestyles.
Meet Afora™*Across 656 heart and metabolic trials published in JAMA, NEJM and The Lancet.
The cheapest forms, unpacked
Generic multis choose forms that are cheap to make. We choose the forms your body can actually absorb and use.
Magnesium
GenericOxide
Afora™Glycinate
Oxide is poorly absorbed, around 4% in one study
Zinc
GenericOxide
Afora™Bisglycinate
Oxide is absorbed less, and some people absorb almost none
Copper
GenericCupric oxide
Afora™Bisglycinate
Studies suggest very poor absorption from oxide
IronWomen's Multi
GenericFerrous sulfate / fumarate
Afora™Bisglycinate
Linked to far fewer stomach side effects
Selenium
GenericSodium selenite
Afora™L-selenomethionine
Generally better absorbed and retained
Chromium
GenericChromium chloride
Afora™Picolinate
Tends to be better absorbed
Boron
GenericOften absent
Afora™Glycinate / citrate
Included, where many multis leave it out
Folate
GenericFolic acid
Afora™Methylfolate (5-MTHF)
No conversion needed, which matters since a common gene variant in many Asians slows it
Vitamin D
GenericD3 or D2, often low dose
Afora™D3, 2,000 IU
D3 raises levels better than D2, at a meaningful dose
Vitamin K
GenericK1 only, or none
Afora™K1 + K2 (MK-7)
MK-7 stays active in the body much longer
Vitamin E
Genericdl-alpha tocopherol (synthetic)
Afora™Mixed tocopherols
Natural vitamin E is more potent than synthetic
Vitamin B3
GenericNiacin
Afora™Niacinamide
Avoids the skin flushing niacin can cause
Vitamin B6
GenericPyridoxine HCl
Afora™P5P
The active form your body uses
Vitamin B2
GenericRiboflavin
Afora™R5P
The active form your body uses
Vitamin B12
GenericCyanocobalamin
Afora™Methylcobalamin
The active form your body uses
Generic forms are typical of mass-market multivitamins, not any single brand. Research describes populations; individual absorption varies.
Better forms, in 2 small capsules a day.
The fix
The first daily multivitamin formulated around Asian biology. One formula for women, one for men, each built for the gaps Asian adults actually have, in forms your body can absorb.
27 essential nutrients: 14 vitamins, 9 minerals and 4 antioxidants and more.
Afora™ vs typical generic multis
5 things we did differently. Open each to see how.
Formulated around the gaps Asian adults actually have, not Western diet surveys. That means support for what a rice-and-noodles, mostly-indoors day leaves you short on, like vitamin D.
Every nutrient is chosen for how well your body uses it, not how cheap it is to make. That means active folate instead of folic acid, gentle iron in the Women's Multi, vitamin D3 paired with K2, all 8 B vitamins including B12 and B6, and lutein + zeaxanthin.
Women's Multi: 27 nutrients, gentle iron, all 8 B vitamins, D3 + K2 and lutein + zeaxanthin. Men's Multi: B vitamins for energy, vitamins C, D + zinc, and B12 + B6.
Better absorption. Our BioTri™ capsules are designed to resist harsh stomach acid and open in the small intestine, where most nutrient absorption takes place. So more of every dose gets to work.
Vegan and gluten free, made in a GMP, ISO and HACCP certified facility and third-party lab tested every batch. The full ingredient list is right on the label.

Questions
Most multivitamins are designed around Western diet and nutrition data. Asian diets, lifestyles and needs differ, so the gaps differ too. Afora™ is formulated around those gaps instead of a global average.
Separate women's and men's formulas, active nutrient forms like active folate, gentle iron in the Women's Multi, and just 2 small capsules a day. Every batch is third-party lab tested, and the full ingredient list is on the label.
Choose the Women's Multi if you're a woman aged 18+, and the Men's Multi if you're a man aged 18+. Each one is built separately around different nutrient needs.
Take 2 capsules a day with water. Each bottle holds 60 capsules, which is 30 servings, or one month.
