Compare some of the best multivitamin brands using our ratings comparison of multivitamin customer satisfaction.
Kiwis tackle multiple maladies with multivitamins
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings
According to our new survey results, it is not uncommon for many New Zealanders – particularly older Kiwis – to consume a multivitamin every day.
Sixty one percent of New Zealand respondents incorporated multivitamins into their daily routine, with Baby Boomers proving more likely to make a habit out of this at 70%.
When male and female respondents were compared:
- Men were most likely to consume a multivitamin daily (64% of males compared to 59% of females)
- More females than males bought multivitamins, but forgot to take them (41% compared to 34%)
Our survey also rated leading multivitamin brands to help customers decide what should go in their shopping basket. While several contenders achieved top marks in different areas, only Healtheries received our most satisfied customers award for multivitamins.
Nature’s Own, Centrum, Thompson’s, Nutra-Life and Blackmores were also rated.

Healtheries received five star ratings in nearly every criteria – including overall satisfaction, value for money, pill size, effectiveness, taste and availability. Other notable five star recipients were:
- Centrum for their taste and value
- Thompson’s for their effectiveness
- Nutra-Life for their taste
Our survey also revealed that more than two in five respondents were confused by public information regarding multivitamins. It comes as little shock then that more than one in five New Zealanders consulted a medical practitioner before consuming multivitamins.
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton Australia to survey 2,500 New Zealand consumers across a range of categories every few months to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from multivitamins customers within the survey group - in this case, 1041 people. To qualify, the customer must have purchased a multivitamin in the last six months. Brands must receive at least 30 responses to be included.
Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands that received three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.
