You can read the label and decide in a few minutes. Look for the iron, vitamin B12 and sugar lines, and check how much one spoon gives you. ![Close side view of a dosing spoon of multivitamin syrup beside an open amber bottle and tablets](https://blog.purecellsupplements.com/_img/multivitamin-syrup-e13bc1.webp) You are standing in a pharmacy aisle, or scrolling a shop page, with three bottles of multivitamin syrup and no clear idea which one fits. A [multivitamin syrup](https://purecellsupplements.com/collections/minerals) is a liquid you measure with a spoon or cap. Here is how to read the dose, store the bottle after opening, and compare syrup with tablets. Check the sugar line on the label before you buy. ## What a multivitamin syrup is and what it takes to use one well Before you buy, read three numbers on the label. The **daily value (DV)** shows what share of your daily need one serving covers, so you can see how much a dose gives you. Then look at **sugar content**, since many liquids use sugar or sweeteners to hide the taste, and that adds up if you take a dose every day. Which works better for an adult depends on your own needs and how you take it, so ask a pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure. ### How Purecell Supplements helps you pick and use a syrup You stand in front of a shelf, or scroll a product page, and cannot tell which bottle suits you. The labels show different numbers, and it is hard to know which one matters for daily use. Purecell Supplements sells vitamins and minerals in several forms, so you can compare options side by side. - Our multivitamin range includes softgels with 29 vitamins and minerals and a Nutricost Multivitamin, so you can compare forms before you buy - Returns are accepted within 14 days of shipment for unopened, unused products, refunded less original shipping and handling costs - Reach out from the WhatsApp button on any page to ask about a product before you order ## How much syrup should you take each day, and when? The daily amount is printed on the label, and the maker sets it for that bottle. So start there: find the dose line, check how many spoons or millilitres it gives, and note the time of day it says to take it. Some labels suggest taking it with a meal, which helps you remember it and is easier on the stomach for many people. If the label is unclear, or you take other medicines, ask a pharmacist or doctor before you start. They can check the amount against your own situation, which a label cannot do for you. Anyone who should check with a doctor before starting, such as a pregnant or breastfeeding woman or someone with a long-term condition, should do so first. ## Step one: Check the label before you pay Turn the bottle around and find the **iron** line first. Seeing the figure before you pay means you know what one spoon contributes. Next, find the **vitamin B12** line. Then check the **daily value (DV)** column, which shows what share of a typical day's amount that spoon provides. A figure near 100% means one spoon covers most of the daily target. If there is no DV column, compare the milligram or microgram amounts across bottles instead. [Every Purecell multivitamin product page](https://purecellsupplements.com/products/multi-vitamins-minerals-kenya-2) lists its vitamins and minerals, so you can compare these lines before you order. If a figure is unclear, reach out from the WhatsApp button on any page. ### How we help you check the label before you pay Shopping for a multivitamin syrup online means you cannot hold the bottle or read its small print. The iron, B12 and daily value lines are easy to miss, and you only see them after you have paid. - Each product page sets out the label information for that exact product, so you can compare it with the one you already use - Our products are made in the USA, as stated on the product pages - Most orders around Nairobi are delivered the same day; upcountry orders take a day or two - Reach out to us from the WhatsApp button on any page if a label line is unclear ## Step two: Order and get it delivered or picked up Once you have chosen your bottle, we call, SMS or WhatsApp you to arrange delivery. That call confirms your address and timing, so keep your phone close after you order. If you live in Nairobi, you can collect the bottle from us in person instead. You pay by Mpesa or ATM card. Most Nairobi orders are delivered the same day, while upcountry orders take a day or two, so order early if you need the syrup by a certain date. **Multivitamin syrup prices in Kenya vary** with the brand, the bottle size and the number of servings it holds. Divide the price by the servings to compare bottles fairly. In short, the price range for multivitamin syrup in Kenya depends mostly on those three factors. ### How we arrange delivery or Nairobi pick-up You have placed your order, then wonder when the bottle will reach you and whether you need to be home. Nobody likes guessing at that point, especially when you are planning your morning dose around it. After you order, our team calls, texts or sends you a WhatsApp message to arrange delivery. That way the timing and the address are agreed with you before anything leaves the shop. - We confirm the delivery details with you by call, SMS or WhatsApp, so you know what to expect - Most orders around Nairobi are delivered the same day; upcountry orders take a day or two - Nairobi buyers can collect the order in person from our pick-up point - You pay by Mpesa or ATM card, whichever suits you You choose between delivery anywhere in Kenya or a collection in Nairobi, and you settle the details with us before your order moves. ## Step three: Store the syrup after you open it Once you open a bottle, its **shelf life after opening** is shorter than the date printed on the label. That date only covers the sealed bottle, so **write the open date on the bottle** with a marker as soon as you break the seal. Then you know how long it has been in use, and you can check it against the date on the label. Keep the bottle cool and shut tightly after every dose. Air and moisture get in each time the cap is left loose, and that can spoil the syrup before the date you planned for. Store it away from direct sun and damp bathroom air, so the syrup stays as the maker intended. *Wondering how to store multivitamin syrup after opening?* Following these steps is the answer. Check the label for any storage or after-opening instructions, because the maker sets them for that bottle. If the syrup changes colour, smells off or separates in a way it did not before, do not use it. Ask a pharmacist or doctor, or message us on WhatsApp, before you decide. > *Write the open date on the bottle the day you break the seal, because the label's expiry date no longer tells you how long it has been in use.* **Storage order** ### Three actions after you open the bottle 1. **Write the open date.** Mark the bottle with a marker as soon as you break the seal. 2. **Keep it cool and shut.** Close the cap tightly after every dose, away from sun and damp air. 3. **Check before each use.** Do not use it if the colour, smell or texture has changed. *Check the label first, because the maker sets any storage or after-opening rules.* ## Where it goes wrong, and what to do today The two mistakes we see most are doubling a dose because the syrup tastes pleasant, and ignoring the sugar line on the label. Syrups often contain sugar or sweeteners, so a spoon taken twice a day adds up. Stick to the amount on the label, and check the sugar content if you are watching your intake. Please check with a doctor before you start if you take any medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition. A doctor can tell you whether a multivitamin fits your situation, because vitamins and minerals can interact with some medicines and conditions. > *The label dose is the starting point, not a figure to double.* Once you have checked with your doctor and read the label, **message us on WhatsApp** from the button on any page. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can children take a multivitamin syrup? Children's syrups are made for a child's age and weight, so check the age range on the label before you give one. Ask a doctor or pharmacist to confirm the right product for your child. ### Can I take a multivitamin syrup and tablets together? Taking both can add up to more vitamins and minerals than you planned, especially iron. Read the daily value (DV) on each product and add them together before you start. A doctor or pharmacist can tell you whether the total suits you. ### What does a syrup look like when it has gone off? Look for a change in colour, a cloudy or separated look, mould, or a sour or unusual smell. If you notice any of these, stop using the bottle and do not taste it to check. Your pharmacist can advise you on what to do with it. ### Should I take my multivitamin syrup on an empty stomach? Follow the timing on your label first, because the maker sets it for that bottle. If you have stomach problems after a dose, speak to a doctor before you continue. ### What should I do if I accidentally take too much? Stop taking the syrup and do not take the next dose. Contact a doctor, a pharmacist or your nearest hospital straight away, and take the bottle with you so they can read the label. Do not wait for symptoms to appear before you ask for advice.
