Who’s the team behind Vous Vitamin? 

Vous Vitamin was founded by Dr. Romy Block, an endocrinologist, and Dr. Arielle Levitan, an internist, who saw the inadequate and often dangerous products available in the vitamin and supplement market. They became determined to create a product their patients could trust. Using their combined 35+ years of clinical experience and evidence-based scientific research, they built a company committed to quality, honesty, and transparency. Drs. Block and Levitan are authors of the award-winning book, The Vitamin Solution: Two Doctors Clear the Confusion About Vitamins and Your Health.

Why Personalized Multivitamins? Why can’t I just buy an over-the-counter multivitamin from the drugstore? 

The role of the standard multivitamin is being redefined. Many of the supplements on the market today far exceed recommended nutrient dosages. Some contain too much Vitamin A, and many consist of unnecessary and potentially harmful ingredients, such as heavy metals. Likewise, the US Preventative Task Force has not recommended regular use of certain supplements whatsoever, citing insufficient data to justify use. Most of us lack vitamin D and iron; we may note symptoms of nutritional deficiencies like hair loss or fatigue; or we may feel okay but be unaware of harm to our bodies, such as loss of bone density that may one day become osteoporosis. Our experience in medicine has taught us that our different lifestyles interact to demand unique nutritional needs—the standard multivitamin does not suffice. Vous Vitamin was developed to find the specific combination of nutrients that is ideal for each person at a given time in their life. Telling us about who you are will help us determine what supplement is suited to you. You will then get to benefit from a safe, naturally derived, and medically sound product. You will find your Vous.

How does your pricing for your vitamin subscription work?

Who is Vous Vitamin’s custom vitamin made for? 

Vous Vitamin is designed to optimize health and performance for all adults! The custom nature of our Multivitamin means we can assess the daily nutritional needs of any individual. Our product is not intended for children or those under the age of 18.

Why a lifestyle questionnaire? Why don’t you use blood testing or genetics? 

Our doctors’ extensive experience treating patients in their respective practices has taught us that we are best able to predict an individual’s nutritional deficiencies based on observations about their lifestyle. Vous Vitamin’s model is driven by our lifestyle questionnaire and does not incorporate blood test or genetic test results. We can assess your needs without an expensive, invasive blood test that isn’t always informative. Meanwhile, the data and literature of using genetic tests to inform vitamin dosing is in its infancy. If you would like to know more, read our blog about blood testing.

What’s the scientific evidence behind Vous Vitamin? 

We’ve done our research so that you don’t have to. In our customized vitamin formulas, we include only nutrients that have been proven by sound clinical research to have positive impacts on human health. This includes optimizing the amount of nutrients in each dose, as well as the molecular form of each compound to ensure the body absorbs it properly. Read more from Drs. Block and Levitan about the benefits and drawbacks of vitamins in The Vitamin Solution: Two Doctors Clear the Confusion about Vitamins and Your Health.

Are your Personalized Multivitamins manufactured in a GMP-certified facility? 

Our products are designed and built to standards defined by Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and are GMP-certified by a third-party organization (NSF). Every step of the manufacturing process is carefully monitored and subjected to an elaborate sequence of quality checks to ensure the highest industry standards set by the FDA. (USP certification does not follow the FDA GMP standards for supplements. In fact, many USP-certified products contain both USP and non-USP ingredients because the program does not cover all ingredients. This is why the GMP certification by either the NSF or NPA is now considered the gold standard for vitamins and supplements.)

Return to top

Is this Multivitamin FDA-approved? 

The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they go to market, but they are responsible for recalling products found to be harmful or misbranded. Regulation in the vitamin and supplement industry mainly comes from the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which we apply in our production process. Submitting product labels to the FDA is not required, but Vous Vitamin voluntarily completes this step to ensure our language is accurate and precise. We know that informed shoppers are better-equipped to navigate the vast options of vitamin products, and we’re here to help through transparency in our brand and a commitment to educating our customers.

Can Personalized Multivitamins be taken with prescription medications? 

Always check with your doctor before starting a new dietary supplement. That said, if taking thyroid medications, you should not take a multivitamin within three hours of taking your thyroid medication. If you have had bariatric surgery, your physician may have specific vitamin recommendations for you. There are other medication questions, information, and warnings that can be found through our personalized vitamin quiz.

How long should it take for me to feel the effects of my custom vitamin? 

The health benefits of taking a multivitamin, especially one that is tailored to your needs, are about more than a physical feeling: by the time your brain registers elevated mood and energy levels, our micronutrients have already been at work supporting bone structure, heart health, and nerve function. That said, the effects of our product may be felt within 60-90 days. Certain effects of good nutrition may never be felt, but the vitamins are contributing to your overall health.

Return to top

Who developed the vitamin quiz? 

Our co-founders, Drs. Block and Levitan designed the personalized vitamin quiz. Their background as physicians and their extensive research in medical literature made them the ideal candidates to do so. They created a survey that can pinpoint your personal nutritional needs, in a way that only qualified medical professionals can do.
