Ordering and Price Details

Becadexamin is extremely affordable compared to many other multivitamins. The current price is ₹115 for 60 soft gel capsules, which comes to just ₹1.9 per capsule. The older price was around ₹51 (30 Capsule) , but it has increased over time. If purchased online, discounts may be available, and it can be bought at around ₹110 to 115.
One capsule per day is the recommended dosage, so the daily cost is less than ₹2. Another advantage is its easy availability. It is sold in almost every pharmacy shop across India, whether in urban or rural areas. For those who want an inexpensive daily multivitamin, Becadexamin is widely accessible.

Lab Test Analysis
1. Label Accuracy – Vitamins
The vitamins claimed on the Becadexamin label were carefully tested in the lab. When compared, the results showed that all the vitamins matched closely with the company’s claims. This indicates that the formulation is reliable and the product delivers the promised vitamin content.
- All vitamins claimed by the company were tested.
- Result: Matches label claims accurately.
2. Label Accuracy – Minerals
Similar to vitamins, the minerals mentioned on the label were also tested. Except for one or two minerals that could not be tested due to lab limitations, all others matched the company’s claims. This ensures that the supplement provides the mineral support it advertises.
- Almost all minerals were tested (except 1–2 not supported by the lab).
- Result: Matches label claims accurately.
3. Heavy Metal Testing
Every supplement must be checked for heavy metals like lead, arsenic, mercury, etc. In Becadexamin, all heavy metals were found to be below the limit of quantification (LOQ). Only lead was slightly higher but still well within the safe limit.
- All detected heavy metals below LOQ (limit of quantification).
- Lead: Slightly higher, but still within safe limits.

Disadvantage
One major drawback of Becadexamin is its non-vegetarian nature. The capsules are made from gelatin, which is derived from animal skin and bones. While this is common in soft gel formulations, it makes the product unsuitable for strict vegetarians.
Additionally, the customer support from GSK was Poor, as queries about capsule weight went unanswered despite multiple follow-ups.
