DHC Multimineral, 60-Day Supply — 180 Tablets, 10 Minerals, Iron 7.5 mg a Day
Overview
Three tablets a day supply ten minerals, five of them delivered as mineral-enriched yeast. 180 tablets, three a day, 60 days.
The figure that should decide this purchase is the iron: 7.5 mg a day, which DHC states as 110% of the Japanese daily reference. That is a full iron dose, not a top-up. If you already take iron, if you have haemochromatosis, or if a doctor is watching your ferritin, this is the wrong mineral blend for you — and you could not have worked that out from a page that printed no numbers.
Two more facts that decide this product for some readers: the calcium is shell-derived, so this is not a vegan product, and there is iodine at 50.8 µg a day, which matters if you have a thyroid condition. Against that, the tablet uses cellulose rather than gelatin — apart from the shell calcium it is one of the few DHC supplements we carry that a vegetarian could consider.

Who Is This For?
- People who want one mineral tablet instead of four separate bottles, and want to see all ten figures first
- Anyone whose diet is thin on minerals and who is not currently taking iron from another source
- Vegetarians who can accept shell-derived calcium — the tablet itself uses cellulose, not gelatin
- Anyone comparing mineral blends who needs the Japanese reference percentages to compare against
- Not for: anyone already taking iron, anyone with haemochromatosis or another iron-loading condition, anyone with a thyroid condition who needs to control iodine intake, vegans because of the shell calcium, and anyone under medical treatment without asking a doctor first.
How to Use
- Take three tablets a day.
- Swallow them with water or lukewarm water.
- Take them with or just after a meal. Iron and zinc are better tolerated with food, and food reduces the chance of nausea from the iron.
- Keep at least two hours between this and any tea, coffee or calcium-rich drink if the iron is the reason you are taking it — all three reduce iron absorption.
- Do not exceed the stated daily serving. More is not better with this formula. Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.
Frequency: Daily, at the same meal

Cautions
- This is a food, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet or for medical advice.
- Iron 7.5 mg is a full daily dose. Do not take this alongside another iron supplement. If you have haemochromatosis or any iron-loading condition, do not take it at all without medical advice.
- Iodine 50.8 µg a day. If you have a thyroid condition or are on thyroid medication, check with your doctor before starting.
- The calcium is shell-derived, so this is not a vegan product. Zinc and copper are both present and should not be stacked with separate zinc or copper supplements.
- If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, under medical treatment or taking prescribed medicine, ask a doctor before taking this. Stop taking it and speak to a doctor if you feel unwell after use.
- Store away from direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, and out of the reach of children.

FAQ
How much iron is in it?
7.5 mg in the three-tablet daily serving, which DHC states as 110% of the Japanese daily reference. That is a full dose, so read the cautions before adding it to anything else.
Is it vegan?
No. The calcium is shell-derived. The tablet base is cellulose rather than gelatin, so a vegetarian who accepts shell calcium could consider it, but a vegan should not.
Which minerals come from yeast?
Manganese, iodine, selenium, chromium and molybdenum are all delivered as mineral-enriched yeast. Calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper come from mineral salts.
Can I take it with my calcium supplement?
Check the totals first. This already supplies 250 mg of calcium a day, and calcium in quantity reduces the absorption of the iron in the same tablet.
How long does one bag last?
Sixty days at three tablets a day. The bag holds 180 tablets and weighs 81 g.
