Reviews mention

  • Transparent, traceable ingredient sourcing
  • Pleasant mint or citrus aroma
  • Gentle, easy-to-swallow capsules
  • Sleek, motivating product design
  • Occasional fishy capsule aftertaste
  • Strong minty burps linger
  • Plastic-heavy monthly bottles
  • Contentious prenatal folate formulation

Ritual earns mixed reviews: the vitamins and Synbiotic+ often feel gentle, easy to swallow, and occasionally boost energy or reduce bloating, but many users don’t perceive clear health results. Reviews praise Ritual’s transparent, research-forward formulations, mint or citrus essence, and sleek, motivating design, while calling out fishy or lingering aftertaste, plastic-heavy monthly bottles, strong mint, and inconsistent fit of the prenatal formula (e.g., folate choices) as drawbacks.

  • I really like that Ritual is transparent about where they source their ingredients. I took the prenatal vitamins throughout my pregnancy and the postnatals after…It was super easy having these sent to my house every month, but the frequency was definitely messed up during the holidays. There was a time they were sent too late and because of processing/shipping time I had to go out and buy prenatals from the market from another brand to take while I waited for them to arrive. I contacted customer service about it and they weren’t very helpful.

  • I like how a convenient the vitamins are as they have multi vitamins in 2 capsules however they taste truly awful. I can barely swallow the pills without wanting to gag because of the taste. The brand has tried to eliminate the taste with a mint coating but I honestly don't feel like it helps at all. I also didn't really see the effect of having so many vitamins rather than taking separate supplements by themselves.

    The taste and effectiveness.

  • These vitamins taste great and are one of the only brands I have tried that do not make me nauseous. I see a significant improvement in my mental and physical health when I am regularly taking the multivitamin.

  • Good for people who don't have regular medical checkups and thus don't maintain a healthy relation with vitamins and food

    Feedback

    I personally felt it was expensive when compared to all the ingredients bought separately.

  • I've only ventured into their protein powders, but it is my go-to! I absolutely love it. Creamy mix-up without being too chalky as some powders do.

    Feedback

    Customer service was great when I had an issue.

  • I take them every day and it’s super convenient! Taste is fine too.

    Feedback

    Adult gummies would be amazing.

  • Maybe I’m just not a vitamin guy? Felt nothing taking these. Also sometimes the capsules burst and there’s an awful fish taste that won’t leave your mouth for hours.

    Feedback

    Capsule design should be less hard to break.

  • LOVE the concept, packaging, ingredients and minty taste of them when taking the supplement. No fishy taste going down. I did get fishy taste after it was consumed, though. But that could just be me!

  • Most multivitamins have given me stomach issues, but I can take these on an empty stomach. Kinda pricey but worth it.

  • I've been taking these for a while now and can feel a difference. i also can take them on an empty stomach

  • I'm a huge fan of Ritual and have been taking their essential multivitamin for a couple of years now. I appreciate the transparent science behind why they put in what vitamins/minerals they do into the capsules along with how traceable the ingredients are. It's convenient, decently affordable, and I really have noticed a difference in my energy after taking these. My skin and my hair have also benefitted. They also offer amazing flexibility when it comes to managing your subscription and bundling in other products.

    Feedback

    The packaging is pretty wasteful considering they provide you a new bottle every month. It would be great to have an option where you're only sent the pills in a packet, or something like that so you aren't managing as much plastic.

  • Have been using their multivitamins for 2 years now and absolutely love!

  • They seem like a solid multivitamin, but nothing innovative beyond being DTC.

    Feedback

    The packaging for a subscription model is super unsustainable. And they try to improve the taste with little scent tablets but it's still not great.

  • I love ritual. I compared to "care of" and and liked that this was a one stop pill

  • I like these vitamins a lot. I took the women's multi and felt it gave me slightly more energy throughout my days. However, I do not think they are fully worth the price point they are. There is not enough of a change to my overall well-being to justify and there are cheaper alternatives.

    Feedback

    Drop the price or increase the wellness benefits.

  • I took ritual vitamins for a long time, probably 2 years. The vitamins are great: they look cool and don’t have a funky taste. You take 2 a day, which is fine, but since I take so many supplements I prefer to just take 1. I like them, I feel they function like any daily vitamin does, but it’s truly hard to tell if theres a difference when there’s other supplements in your routine.

    Feedback

    The packaging bothers me. I feel like since it’s a subscription, there should be a limited packaging option where you only get the capsules in a recyclable ziplock, instead of accumulating so many bottles. I emailed them about this over 2 years ago actually. I wish you could buy larger quantities instead of a monthly 30 day supply. If I forgot to take them or something, it would always suck to have to remember to pause my subscription before I got charged. I personally don’t like subscriptions. I honestly feel for the price too I’d rather get the wellness formula from Whole Foods.

  • I liked the lemony taste and aesthetic branding.

    Feedback

    The pre- natal upset my stomach

  • The scent of the pills gets old really fast and there’s actually not enough of any of the supplements to make a difference so I had to take additional supplements anyways. Nice packing though

  • I've purchased their prenatal vitamins and their essential protein and I really like both. The vitamins have a lemon scent which I've never experienced in a vitamin and makes the experience of taking them surprisingly enjoyable. I like that their protein has a transparent supply chain and ingredient origins.

    Feedback

    I wish you could have longer time between deliveries for auto ship, it always comes faster than I need.

  • They're vitamins branded as modern DTC products. Nothing wrong with vitamins, but don't expect more than it is.
