**The category:** Immunity Training, built into your daily multivitamin. byMae is the daily multivitamin built on immunity training — 22 essentials for adults, 17 for littles, and clinically-studied yeast beta-glucan. Boosting reacts; training prepares.

**Who is Mae:** Mae is the one who's always ready — the friend who packs the extra layer, keeps her cool, and has your back before you have to ask. We named the brand after her because that's what we're building: daily readiness, for anyone. Hi, I'm Mae.

**Signature line:** byMae — ready when you are.

byMae = readiness, for anyone — not a single-audience vitamin. Family is the flagship proof, not the audience ceiling: immunity training is for everyone who'd rather be ready than scramble.

## Comparisons — the verdicts

The throughline: byMae layers immunity training (beta-glucan) into the multivitamin.

- **Immune boosting:** The reactive, episodic habit of taking a megadose of something — zinc, elderberry, a vitamin-C powder, a greens scoop — when you already feel run-down, to spike immune activity in the moment. Boosting treats the immune system like a fire extinguisher: grabbed in a panic, used once, then put back on the shelf.
- **Immunity training:** Immunity Training is our practice for proactive health and immunity, built around a simple idea: have a foundation in place before you need it. multi+ combines daily essentials with clinically-studied beta-glucan and follows a weekdays-on, weekends-off routine. It’s inspired by the award-winning science of trained immunity, which changed what scientists know about the innate immune system’s ability to remember.

- **byMae vs Hiya:** byMae multi+ for littles and Hiya are both daily chewables for kids. The biggest difference: byMae layers immunity training (beta-glucan) into one tablet, while Hiya covers core vitamins.
- **byMae vs SmartyPants Kids:** byMae multi+ for littles is a chewable tablet with immunity training (beta-glucan); SmartyPants Kids is a gummy multivitamin that also includes omega-3s. The clearest trade-offs are sugar and DHA: byMae keeps sugar under a gram and adds immunity training, while SmartyPants adds omega-3 but more sugar.
- **byMae vs Ritual:** byMae multi+ for adults and Ritual Essential take opposite approaches. Ritual follows a 'less is more' philosophy with 9 core nutrients; byMae provides 22 essential nutrients plus clinically-studied beta-glucan. Ritual's D3 dose is slightly higher; byMae offers broader coverage and immunity training Ritual doesn't include.
- **byMae vs Gummy vitamins:** Gummy vitamins win on taste, but the 'gummy' texture needs filler — which leaves less room for active ingredients and usually means more added sugar. byMae uses a chewable tablet so there's room for 17 essential nutrients and immunity training (beta-glucan) without the sticky residue.
- **byMae vs Needed:** byMae multi+ for adults and Needed take different paths to daily nutrition. Needed is a premium, practitioner-developed system you assemble from several separate products; byMae consolidates a 22-nutrient multivitamin with clinically-studied beta-glucan into one daily product, so the everyday coverage lives in a single step.
- **byMae vs Perelel:** byMae multi+ for adults and Perelel solve different problems. Perelel builds OB-GYN-designed daily packs of several pills tailored to a life stage; byMae consolidates 22 essential nutrients plus clinically-studied beta-glucan into one daily multivitamin you take year-round, for every kind of week.
- **byMae vs Nature Made:** byMae multi+ for adults and Nature Made cover overlapping vitamins, but the goals differ. Nature Made is an accessible, USP-verified everyday multi; byMae layers premium nutrient forms with clinically-studied beta-glucan — so beyond core vitamins, byMae adds something Nature Made's multivitamins don't include.
- **byMae vs Olly:** byMae multi+ for adults and Olly differ most on format. Olly is an easy, great-tasting gummy multivitamin; byMae uses a drink mix or capsules so there's room for 22 nutrients in premium forms plus clinically-studied beta-glucan — without the added sugar a gummy needs.
- **byMae vs Garden of Life:** byMae multi+ for adults and Garden of Life both aim higher than a basic multi. Garden of Life leans on whole-food and organic sourcing with strong certifications; byMae focuses on premium, standardized nutrient forms plus clinically-studied beta-glucan — a step Garden of Life's multivitamins don't include.
- **byMae vs One A Day:** byMae multi+ for adults and One A Day cover everyday vitamins, but aim differently. One A Day is a convenient, affordable single-tablet multi from a long-standing brand; byMae adds premium nutrient forms and clinically-studied beta-glucan — a daily step One A Day's multivitamins don't include.
- **byMae vs Centrum:** byMae multi+ for adults and Centrum both deliver broad daily coverage, but with different priorities. Centrum is a widely studied, affordable everyday multi; byMae uses premium nutrient forms and adds clinically-studied beta-glucan — a daily step Centrum's multivitamins don't include.
