Why is Multivitamin classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is made from isolated vitamins, minerals, sweeteners and other industrial ingredients that are combined into a tablet, which meets the definition of ultra-processed; the label lists citric acid (E330), sodium bicarbonate (E500 ii), sorbitol (E420), riboflavin colour (E101) and the artificial sweeteners sodium cyclamate (E952) and sodium saccharin.

Based on its ingredient list, is this product suitable for vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and keto diets?

All ingredients are plant-derived or synthetic, and the formulation contains no gluten, dairy, added sugars or significant carbs, making it compatible with vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and keto eating plans.

How does the sugar and salt content of this multivitamin affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

The supplement contains no added sugar and relies on non-nutritive sweeteners, so it has virtually no impact on blood glucose, while the only sodium comes from a small amount of sodium bicarbonate, contributing minimal salt, which is generally safe for hypertensive individuals when taken as directed.
