Pharmavite Recalls Nature Made Multivitamin Softgels Due to Potency Loss

Pharmavite is voluntarily recalling all lots of Nature Made multivitamin softgels because quality tests show Vitamins B1 and B12 are losing potency faster than expected.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is voluntary and addresses a potency issue where vitamins are losing strength faster than expected, which is a low-risk contamination or quality issue without reported illness or injury.

The affected products include Multi Complete, Multi for Her, Multi for Her 50+, Multi for Him, and Multi Complete club size.
