4 Versions of Vita-Lea. So Which One Is Right For You?
Category: Healthy Nutrition
Most people who start taking food supplements, begin by taking a multi. Meaning it's their gateway to starting a supplementation program.
The problem is, there are all kinds of supplement brands touting new absorption technology, promising ridiculous results, or containing ingredients with confusing names that you're not sure about.
A lot of people ask what vitamin they should use to fix this or that issue. I always recommend people start with the foundations.
If you can supply your body with its core requirements, you can build on that. This means starting with a great quality multi-vitamin.
I'm sure you've gathered that I'm a big fan of Shaklee's vitamins by now. Well, on this product, I'm a super fan.
Vita-Lea
Vita-Lea is a high-potency formulation that includes a cutting-edge Bioactivated Absorption System.
Shaklee scientists discovered that if they put a folic acid micro-coating on the tablet, it would allow for immediate release in the stomach. This also enhances the absorption of folic acid, which is a crucial B vitamin that helps produce and maintain new cells.
Dr. Richard Brouse himself, in his book, Build A Better You, testified that he had observed an improvement in his protein utilization (skin, hair, nails, and blood measurements) when he started using Vita-Lea in 1972. Vita-Lea is also his most faithful supplement in helping patients who are willing to take enough to overcome years of illness.
Vita-Lea provides:
- Two times the calcium to support bone building and maintenance of bone density
- Two times the vitamin D to support calcium absorption and healthy bones and teeth
- Two times the beta-carotene; the natural, plant-based form of vitamin A
- Two times the vitamin E to promote the immune system, heart, and cellular health
- Three times the vitamin K to support bone metabolism and blood coagulation
- Ten times the biotin; a catalyst for energy production
- Two times the magnesium to help maintain heart rhythm, as well as muscle and nerve function
- Six times the boron to aid in the metabolism of vitamin D and support bone development
Vita-Lea is available in 4 customized formulas based on the needs of men, women, and adults over 50.
1. Vita-Lea with Iron
- For people who may need additional iron, Vita-Lea is available with the iron formulation. This is perfect if you're suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and you need more iron to produce more blood. Without sufficient iron, your body will not produce enough red blood cells for oxygen circulation.
Vita-Lea with Iron is also a great prenatal/postnatal vitamin.
Pregnant women lose plenty of iron in their body during the first and second trimester of childbearing. Therefore, they need an extra helping of iron to support themselves and their child. Shaklee's Vita-Lea with Iron is definitely the right choice for them.
2. Vita-Lea without Iron
If your body chemical composition has a high iron amount, you'll need to use Shaklee's Vita-Lea without Iron to get all the nutrients you need without the risk of iron poisoning
Vita-Lea also has a formula for people ages 50 and above. This multi is the culmination of years of nutritional experience and groundbreaking clinical and scientific research.
Vita-Lea Gold is a carefully designed multivitamin/mineral supplement that contains 23 essential nutrients at clinically proven levels and addresses the four key health concerns of people over 50, which are:
1. Longevity
2. Bone health
3. Vision
4. Energy
Vita-Lea Gold includes:
- N-acetylcysteine, a form of amino acid cysteine that offers protection from free radical damage
- Bone-building nutrients to preserve bone integrity
- Five key nutrients clinically proven to protect vision health
- 100% Daily Value for biotin, a catalyst for energy production

Now, Vita-Lea Gold provides a choice of formulas: with Vitamin K and without Vitamin K.
3. Vita-Lea Gold with Vitamin K
- Unlike the other more ‘popular’ vitamins, most people aren’t aware of Vitamin K's bone-building benefits.
Although vitamin K is not as significant to bone health as calcium and vitamin D are, low levels of circulating vitamin K have been linked with low bone density.
In fact, several studies have shown that supplementation with vitamin K results in improvements in bone health.
Vita-Lea Gold with Vitamin K is the perfect multi for adults over 50 who need additional Vitamin K.
4. Vita-Lea Gold without Vitamin K
Vitamin K is a major issue for individuals on blood thinners, with its role in blood clotting. Generally, increases in vitamin K make blood-thinners less effective.
This is why Vita-Lea without Vitamin K is the best for adults taking anticoagulants.
Shaklee’s Vita-Lea is a fantastic supplement for people of all ages to include in their daily lives, whether you’re searching for the perfect, well-balanced, and wholesome supplement, or simply want to feel and be healthier.
Thanks to pure ingredients and no unnecessary additives, sweeteners, or coloring, Vita-Lea provides exactly the boost your body needs to keep you functioning at your best.
