A daily multivitamin fills the gaps when meals come from the pantry for two weeks.
A daily multivitamin covers the vitamins and minerals that fresh produce usually supplies, so two weeks of pantry meals still keep your family well fed.
- Quantity: Stock at least a 30-day supply for each person in the household, enough to cover two weeks with room to spare.
- Age and need: Match formulas to adults, children and anyone pregnant, and ask your doctor if you take medications.
- Shelf life: Look for an expiration date at least a year out, and rotate bottles into daily use before they lapse.
- Form: Choose tablets or capsules, which keep longer than gummies and liquids in a warm pantry.
- Storage: Keep bottles sealed with the desiccant packet in a cool, dark cupboard, well out of reach of children.
