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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Feedback

    Pricing.

  • Good product, don't love the branding.

    Feedback

    bottle is plain, for something so expensive I expect more. Could also save more plastic by not sending an entire new bottle each month

  • Very easy to manage subscription service for vitamins that had great customer service. The quality of the products were great (I liked the small touch of adding something to the pill container that made the pills have a minty aftertaste.

    Feedback

    These were somewhat expensive and I didn't feel any noticeable benefit of taking the vitamins consistently (not that I necessarily should). As I was looking to cut what I felt were unnecessary costs, this was one of the first on the chopping block.

  • The packaging was good, but I don't know if I needed a multivitamin. Customer service was good and it was easy to pause or cancel the subscription

    Feedback

    Lack of personalization - I wasn't sure if the ingredients were things that I actually needed supplements for.

  • Neat way to get your daily vitamins

    Feedback

    The mint aftertaste that keeps it fresh barely masks the taste of fish oil

  • Not a fan of the women's multivitamin. I felt VERY bloated after taking this vitamin for a couple of weeks. I had my husband try the men's and he had the same issue. I would pass on this for sure.

    Formulation

  • Beautiful bottle, high quality product, fast shipping. Also they do a good job of keeping you subscribed - offering discounts when you go to cancel.

    Feedback

    Not the easiest subscription management

  • I hate taking pills but the Ritual ones are so easy to swallow! I take the prenatal vitamin and the citrus scent is really refreshing. You don't get that gross "pill taste."

    Feedback

    Sometimes the shipments don't always go out on time.

  • I was sold on brand and mission when it came to ritual. I had worked in the vitamin space and wanted to put this innovative product to the test. When I was on my third pregnancy I decided to give it a go (2019). It is very easy to buy and keep the subscription running. I would say its the best customer experience I have had with a subscription- pause and cancel functionality were great. They clearly understand that sometimes you have a bad month and don't take all your vitamins. I did not feel any particular differences compared to existing prenatal vitamins. I did enjoy the mint after taste / flavor they baked in so the fish oil was not as dominating as an after taste. It did make me wonder about what additive was in there to provide that aftertaste. You freak out about everything when pregnant! All up- I discontinued my subscription before I was done with my pregnancy because I had a lot left over to take me into the post birth period and then I transitioned back to other vitamins.

    Feedback

    The actual product does not look as photographed- I think they may have changed it between photographing and when I got the product. It is extremely expensive. I went back to other options post pregnancy that involved fish oil + Vit D + multi as separate items. In the reading I did, sometimes having these in the pure form can be more beneficial. But obviously the usage experience not as great.

  • Huge fan of Ritual vitamins! Remember those Orbitz drinks from the 90s? I bought Ritual vitamins because they look like small little Orbitz capsules that taste like peppermint. Each little ball floating in some goo. Every time I take them I say, "Hey little balls, take good care of my insides!". I swish some water around, swallow, and then imagine the capsule is the Magic Schoolbus traveling from my mouth to my stomach, each little ball exploring the depths of my pancreas all the way down to my littlest toe. I realize that's not exactly what happens, but whatever. Do they actually do anything? IDK! Does anyone know if multi-vitamins do anything? They make me feel mentally good and I think that's good enough. Oh! And they allow me to cancel and postpone shipments online and that's all I ever want.

    Feedback

    Make the little balls multicolor for a real party, please!!!!!

  • I liked the packaging and quality of ingredients. However the overall ingredients in the vitamins were lacking I still needed to take multiple vitamins to get everything I needed or multiple capsules which was over whelming.

  • Do I love spending $85 on vitamins every month? No, but it's worth it. I started using the Prenatal early this year and added the Synbiotic+. Both are the easiest vitamins I've ever taken. The smell is a huge factor for me, and the lemon and mint aromas are great. The Synbiotic has really helped with digestive issues—I even recommended them to my gastroenterologist father!

  • I love my Ritual Prenatal vitamins, the light lemon scent is so pleasant and it’s so convenient that they’re sent right to my door.

  • Expensive and tastes like minty fish oil! I hate the taste of fish oil, but if I have to have it I’d rather it not be minty. Whole thing feels a bit gimicky.

    Feedback

    Pricey and the taste is horrible

  • Beautiful ig-worthy packaging but otherwise just heavily overpriced vitamins you can get 10 times cheaper in the drug store.
