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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I was really sold on Ritual based on the packaging, transparency in mission and because I thought it would make me want to take my vitamins with such an investment. I really enjoyed it for the first few weeks before getting tired of the flavor. Packaging is really sleek.

I think other flavor options or a mixed of flavors would help down the line. The mint flavor can feel a bit unpleasant even though I'm just trying to swallow it as fast as possible. It's also a little bit pricey to me.
I subscribed to the monthly vitamin subscription and used these consistently for 3 months. At around month 2, I noticed I started developing acne and headaches. I stopped using the vitamins and it cleared up.

Be careful when purchasing supplements, and be sure that you can handle a daily supplement. use in moderation if necessary.

Meh. Not sure there's much of a point to these supplements. I'm not convinced they're any more effective than the multivitamins I get from Public Goods for way less money. The branding is cute, and the pills are nicely flavored, but to me it's not worth the price.
I’ve tried the protein powder and thought it was pretty good. It’s fairly thick and the taste was vanilla without being too chalky or sweet. I changed my mind about wanting to subscribe and when I contacted them they gave me a refund and canceled my subscription no questions asked which was nice.

I would ask anyone looking into their prenatal to check with their doctor first. One of the main reasons to take a prenatal is to prevent neural tube defects and the *only* supplement actually proven to do so is folic acid which is specifically missing from the Ritual prenatal. In fact, on their website it actual says that the prenatal is not designed to prevent NTDs (probably to cover them since it doesn’t have folic acid). I think it’s shameful that this company relies on worried moms-to-be to shell out a lot of money for prenatal vitamins that don’t even contain the #1 ingredient any maternal fetal medicine professional recommends.
I really like what ritual stands for. They make vitamins super accessible and make their information super digestible to people who are not health-obsessed. Their products are made for everyone and the vitamins have a great minty fresh taste.
I have been using Ritual's essential protein and love it! The flavor is fantastic and am always searching for a protein powder without any added sugars and this one nails it :)

I wish I didn't have to subscribe and I could purchase 1/x.
The packaging, branding and customer experience was great, but I didn't notice any difference in terms of health effects.
Happy to found a brand that combines all and do not loose the customer with too many products and information. I feel good using the women vitamins. I even suscribed to it.

It's a very slick setup Ritual has, they make it very easy to buy and keep the subscription running (or paused or cancelled) which I really appreciate. I've been taking these for two months. I have no clue if they're working or doing what they're supposed to be doing but I keep it up. Honestly, I'm not sure how to evaluate something like this where the results / outcome is invisible.
I’ve been happily taking the daily multivtiamin since the company launched a few years ago. All about the sourcing strategy / transparent ingredients - makes me feel safe and healthy. I’ve also been using the vanilla protein powder since it launched, adding it to smoothies now and then—really good.

Would like supplements to target specific need states like sleep or hair/skin/nails.
I liked these when I was taking the daily vitamins, trusted that they were making a difference though who knows for sure. I did like that I could take it in the morning on an empty stomach. One thing that annoyed me was that they gave the option to switch to 3-month deliveries (get 3 months worth at once) and you got 15% off your next order. The order was still 3 separate plastic bottles, and the discount was one time only. With this switch I feel like they could have moved to more eco-friendly and cost efficient bulk/refill packaging, and passed that savings on to the customer. The company is saving $ on shipping and I'm committing to more product, why should my cost remain the same after the one time promo is over? I've since switched to a different vitamin company to start taking prenatals.
I can definitely see a difference when taking the women multivitamins

I have tried all of Ritual’s products and I like them all. I have them on a subscription. I take the multivitamin and symbiotic daily. I also like the protein powder — I like this it’s sourced from peas and the taste is great. I’ve also tried the melatonin which works well — it has a timed release and helps me stay asleep. The “essence” they add to their products can be off putting at first, but for my money it’s the best tasting multivitamin I’ve ever had. I like their sustainability mission. I heartily recommend their products!
I've been using womens multi vitamin, and I personally absolutely LOVE them!
Daily multivitamin is a delight: the minty smell and taste make a huge aesthetic difference to the experience, which helps stay motivated and consistent in taking them daily. The website does a great job of explaining ingredients, dosages, and omissions.
This product has such a great purpose and their customer service is fantastic! I just had a difficult time swallowing their pills and feeling sick after. I have a very difficult time swallowing pills in the first place, so I’m sure the average person would be just fine.

My wife started using ritual and then I started using the mens ritual vitamins. I used the vitamins for over a year but I didn't feel any changes. The product looks cool but the mens vitamin didn't cut it for me.
I took this for 3 years off and on, and honestly did notice a difference in my general wellbeing. At the end of the day, i found the subscription to be too cumbersome for me. I also wish the packaging had been more sustainable
Ritual prenatals are what I used during my pregnancy, the postnatals during my recovery for 6 months, and now I’m on my vitamin journey with the women’s multivitamin. I love this brand! Customer service is excellent, the ingredients are traceable and safe and best of all, the subscription service is effortless and I never have to worry about running out.
As an OB nurse (and mom of 3) I will often say the best prenatal vitamin is the one you can tolerate and remember to take. But truly Ritual is the best. Thoughtfully formulated to include everything you need during pregnancy and postpartum recovery without anything extra or unnecessary. The subscription model is very convenient. Easy to manage and change as needed. Some products also sold in store (whole foods) if you want to try without making any commitment. You can select the « flavor » your vitamins are packaged with.

I don’t like that every month my product comes in a new plastic bottle. I wish the product was packaged in a more sustainable way.
