Reviews mention

  • Transparent, traceable ingredient sourcing
  • Pleasant mint or citrus aroma
  • Easy-to-swallow soft capsules
  • Convenient, consistent subscription cadence
  • Lingering fishy or mint burps
  • Plastic-heavy monthly bottles
  • Subtle, hard-to-notice results
  • Prenatal folate content concerns

Ritual earns mixed reviews: the brand delights with traceable, research-forward formulations, easy-to-swallow mint- or citrus-scented capsules, and a subscription that keeps users consistent, yet many reviewers report little noticeable health impact. Ritual reviews also praise reduced bloating from Synbiotic+ and smooth, not-chalky protein, while calling out fishy or strong mint burps, inadequate folate in the prenatal for some, plastic-heavy refill bottles, and occasional flavor fatigue.

  • I've long been a fan of the Symbiotic, one of the first supplements on the market combining a prebiotic, probiotic, and post-biotic into one. My digestion feels the improvement when I'm taking it versus when I'm not. Since then, I've added the Multivitamin and Hydracera (an early consumable Hyaluronic Acid supplement) into my daily routine. Ritual remains a brand I trust, from its ingredient sourcing to third-party testing. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusted supplement.

  • I was taking the multivitamin before (keep meaning to order more) I like that it has something minty in it so you don’t have weird burps or get indigestion from the supplements.

  • I really enjoy the scented pills, but I think the best part about Ritual is that they're the only multivitamin for women I've found that also has magnesium and iron, as well as vitamin D. I'm anemic so the iron helps, and magnesium isn't typically included in other multivitamins.

    Feedback

    1. Please offer international shipping 2. Vitamin B complex could be more complete 3. Some iron compounds increase appetite, so some clarity on this or an improved version which does not increase appetite would be great. 4. Make it easier to unsubscribe -- one-click without having to email customer service

  • I tried ritual for a while - I think it’s important to know where your vitamins are sourced and what ingredients are used to create the product - the packaging was cool and the capsules themselves are very interesting! However I really couldn’t get over the taste. Minty + Fishy don’t go well together. I know ultimately it’s gonna be swallowed and go inside my body, but the experience to get to swallowing was slightly dreadful.

    Feedback

    I would love to experience ritual again if only the taste experience was improved!

  • Use the daily multivitamin + daily shakes. Really enjoy the shakes on my end and recommend mixing the protein powder with a bit of oat milk (comes out delicious and can be a snack or meal replacement).

    Feedback

    Wish there could be a better way to manage my subscription as my mom and I both often times have too many vitamins and have to keep updating our orders on the site.

  • I’ve used these for prenatal and postnatal vitamins. Packaging is cute and delivery is very convenient.

  • Pros: great branding & subscription management Cons: questionable efficacy (I really didn’t notice any difference) & overpriced considering the active ingredients (which are cheaper elsewhere albeit without as good of branding)

  • I like their daily multivitamins, but the protein powder gave me a weird reaction where I started getting eczema on my face. I get this reaction from whey protein, which theirs is not. It made me a bit concerned and the rash went away when I quit using the powder.

  • I have been buying the Essential Protein for over a year now and it is my go-to protein powder. It's a very mild flavor, making it the perfect base for adding fruit or other flavoring. But it's also great on its own, and isn't overpowering. My biggest gripe with protein powders is the fake sweet taste from stevia and grittiness and I love this powder because it has neither! If you're looking for a plant-based protein powder, I'd recommend this one. I'd say the only complaint I have is the auto shipping. If you want an extended pause you have to write into customer support, to have them do it for you which is an annoying extra step.

  • I've been using Ritual’s protein powder (Daily Shake) and honestly, it’s one of the cleanest, best-tasting plant-based proteins I’ve tried. It blends smoothly, has no weird aftertaste, and I love knowing exactly what’s in it—no shady additives or mystery ingredients. The vanilla flavor is subtle and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. I also like the brand’s transparency and how it's designed with specific life stages in mind.

  • Love Ritual multivitamins. They make me feel great! I know that there has been significant research into their vitamins and why they contain certain ingredients. I love that you can bundle them for a discount! Also, they use great eco-friendly and minimal packaging during shipping.

  • Overall, I like these multivitamins. The transparency about the ingredients and the clinical trial research are so important. Honestly, the flavor and the price are the only things that I don't like.

    Feedback

    Better flavor/fewer vitamin burps :/

  • Love the concept - did not see a difference after almost six months.

    Feedback

    Not sure - wanted to see more results.

  • Love the product and transparency that surrounds sourcing of ingredients. I had noticeably more energy when I took these.

    Feedback

    This was the first of my spending that I cut when my financial situation changed, which is really unfortunate. I don't know if the company could do anything to change the pricing to make it better. Also, managing a subscription on behalf of another person was extremely difficult. I wanted to buy these for my mom who finds tech difficult to navigate, so I wanted to manage her subscription for her. You couldn't do this, so I ended up buying her subscription under a different personal email that I have, which is not an ideal customer experience.

  • I love the brand mission & values, the look & feel of the vitamins themselves, and the ease of the subscription. That said, I have no idea if the vitamins actually did anything for me or my health, as I didn't feel any sort of difference after I started taking them.

  • Have been taking Ritual for two years now and it makes taking vitamins easy via subscription (otherwise I would always forget). I feel healthy and my bloodwork comes back just fine. This might be strange but they are also pretty to look at. I don't love the mint flavor because I sometimes take my vitamins with juice. I keep forgetting to ask if it has to be in there or if I can take it out.

    Feedback

    I wish it didn't show up in a plastic bottle every time and the packaging was more sustainable. Could you send a one time bottle and envelopes thereafter?

  • I've tried the Women's and the Women's Prenatal. I believe a lot of strong research has gone into these vitamins which is why I chose the brand. Also the shipping/logistics/ux/customer service is all great.

    Feedback

    The scent on the Prenatal is not great (especially considering so many pregnant women have aversions to smell). Also the way the Prenatal capsules are made sometimes causes the interior cap to mix with the oil in the pill and the pills turn black (I throw those away). Slightly higher price point than I would want to pay for a daily vitamin. Would love to see them stop sending plastic bottles with every purchase – maybe switch to a refillable satchel.

  • Tried Ritual prenatal and post-natal. The subscription service was really easy to manage, but other than that I disliked: - the fish oil taste lingers - pseudoscience claims (you don't actually need different post-natal vitamins) - misinformation: 1) "clean" marketing is deceptive to consumers as it's a meaningless and unregulated term, and 2) they use (& specifically promote the use of) methylfolate instead of folic acid, despite the fact that folic acid is the only form of folate that has been shown to help prevent neural tube defects.

  • I’ve been using their daily multivitamin for years. I love that it’s minty—this helps reduce the nausea (a chronic illness symptom) I’d otherwise get from swallowing it.

  • I've been using Ritual for the past several years now, and I appreciate knowing that my vitamins are well-sourced and have solid transparency on the ingredients. The minty tabs are also amazing and make a huge difference - and I love being able to pop them into other bottles after I finish each monthly supply.
