Multivitamin supplements are one of the most popular category of food supplements out there and they can provide a convenient way to top up your dietary intake of certain important nutrients.
Of course, you should be able to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need by following a varied diet and a healthy overall lifestyle.
However, supplements can be a straightforward way to increase your intake of certain key nutrients in a convenient form.
The purpose of this review is for us to take a detailed look at the Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi from all angles.
Opti-Nutra were kind enough to gift us a bottle of both the men’s and women’s supplements so we could try them out for ourselves.
We’re going to be paying particularly close attention to the ingredients formula, the doses, the directions and the price of this particular multivitamin.
We’re then going to see where it stands in comparison to our pick of some of the best multivitamin supplements on the market at the moment.

Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi – The Basics
The Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi is actually two products. They have one for men and one for women.
This sets it apart from a lot of the standard multivitamin supplements you’d expect to find in the supermarket or your local pharmacy.
The reason why Performance Lab have opted to produce two different formulas for men and women is because they are aiming to deliver the nutrients in optimized doses depending on your gender.
Although Performance Lab’s NutriGenesis Multi can be called a ‘multivitamin’ it actually contains more than just vitamins. It includes other ingredients such as essential minerals, all of which can help to support a range of normal bodily processes.
This particular supplement is vegan-friendly, and it features a very clean-label formula, stripped of any unnecessary ‘filler’ ingredients or additives.
The official Performance Lab website describes the NutriGenesis Multi as an “ultramodern” supplement designed for “peak health and performance”.
In case you were wondering, ‘NutriGenesis’ is Performance Lab’s proprietary form of some of its supplement ingredients. These ingredients, such as vitamins and minerals, are lab-grown using a patented process that claims to mimic nutrient genesis in nature, hence the name ‘NutriGenesis’.
Each bottle of the Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi contains 120 capsules, and you’re advised to take four to six capsules per day.
So, now that we’ve covered some of the basic things you need to know about these two supplements, it’s time to focus on the all-important ingredients formula.
The Ingredients
Let’s begin this part by looking at the supplement facts panel for both the men’s and women’s versions of these supplements.
Editor's note: Any health claims about the ingredients mentioned in this article are listed as authorised on the EU Register at the time of publishing. Additionally, you should carefully check the ingredients information shown on the official website of any product you're considering purchasing, as formulas may change from time to time and therefore may differ from what's shown on this page.
Here is the men’s formula, as shown on the official website at the time of writing:

And here is the women’s formula, as shown on the official website at the time of writing:
The Performance Lab Nutri-Genesis for Women active Ingredients formula, shown on the official website at the time of writing
As you can see for yourself, these two supplements do include the same 26 active ingredients, but the doses have been slightly tweaked in some instances.
For example, the amount of the essential mineral Zinc is slightly lower in the women’s formula compared to the men’s one.
Similarly, the women’s supplement also contains slightly less Potassium than the men’s one.
As well as some essential vitamins and minerals, the NutriGenesis Multi also goes a step further by including some other additions, such as Boron and Inositol.

What we really like about this product is the clean ingredients label. Aside from the active ingredients, this supplement doesn’t include anything other than the plant-based capsule and rice concentrate.
This is not the case for many other similar supplements, which often include things such as Titanium Dioxide as part of their formulas.
As with all of the products in the Performance Lab range, these supplements contain no gluten, no dairy and is also GMO free. The capsules are made from plant-based sources, so the product is suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians.
How To Take It
As we mentioned above, each bottle of NutriGenesis Multi contains 120 capsules.
The directions suggest that you should consider taking four to six capsules daily.
This is one of the main downsides of this product. You’ll have to take four capsules to hit the doses shown on the supplement facts panel. This is a lot more than other multivitamins.
Presumably, the main reason why the serving size is so big is because including each of the ingredients in their effective doses takes up space in the capsule.
You should carefully check the label of any product you purchase, including all of the warnings and the directions.
Price and Where To Buy
There is no getting around the fact that this is a premium product.
One bottle containing 120 capsules currently costs £44 / $49.
However, you can save some money on the price per bottle if you’re willing to buy more than one at a time from the official website.
The Performance Lab range of supplements is currently only available to buy on the official site, meaning that you’re not going to find it in the shops or elsewhere online.
Side Effects
Multivitamin supplements are fairly common – but you should always speak to your doctor before thinking about taking any new supplement for the first time to be on the safe side.
This is especially important if you have any underlying medical condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Generally speaking, multivitamins are well-tolerated, but you should always check the label to ensure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients, and you should speak to your doctor first as outlined above.
It’s also very important that you carefully read the label to check out the directions and warnings in detail before taking this or any supplement.
Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi Reviews
One downside about the fact that you can only buy the Performance Lab range of supplements on the official website is that it makes it impossible to check out customer reviews on other retail websites such as Amazon.
Yes, there are plenty of positive reviews on the official Performance Lab site, but it’s generally better to check out the customer feedback on an independent site, as what you find on there is more likely to be impartial.

Anything Else To Consider?
As we mentioned at the start of this article, supplements such as multivitamins should not be seen as a replacement for a varied diet and healthy overall lifestyle.
Food supplements can help to protect against shortfalls in certain important nutrients, but sticking to a good diet should always be regarded as one of the main building blocks of good health.
Sticking to a good exercise plan and eating right, as well as getting enough high-quality sleep, are really important for building good health.
As we also mentioned above, we think that it’s important that you speak to your doctor before taking a new supplement or making any major lifestyle changes, just to be on the safe side.
