Switching from Lifelong Vitality to VMG+

For more than a decade the dōTERRA Lifelong Vitality Pack® was the foundation: Alpha CRS®+ (the cellular complex), Microplex VMz® (the multivitamin) and xEO Mega® (the omega) — three bottles, up to twelve capsules a day. If that is your routine, you are ahead of most people. Here is the honest comparison with the newer formula.

What VMG+ keeps

VMG+™ folds the benefits of Alpha CRS+ and the vegan Microplex VMz into one stick — the cellular support and the whole-food vitamins and minerals — so the multivitamin and cellular halves of your pack are covered.* dōTERRA’s own Product Success guide says current LLV customers are “encouraged to switch to VMG+ for enhanced benefits”.

What is new

Three things the pack never had: a greens superfood blend (20 fruits and vegetables), digestive enzymes (bromelain, actinidin, papain), and probiotics with prebiotic fibres and lecithin to help absorption.* Plus it is a drink — pineapple-mango — not a handful of capsules, which for a lot of long-time LLV customers is the reason they finally take it every day.

What you need to replace separately

The omega. VMG+ has no fish oil. EO Mega®+ replaces xEO Mega with more omega-3 per dose — 900 mg, 800 mg of it EPA and DHA — and Wild Orange oil instead of the old blend; three softgels a day. VMG+ plus EO Mega+ is the Healthy Habits Kit; add PB Restore® and it is the Foundational Wellness Bundle.

What it costs next to the pack

The Lifelong Vitality Pack is $88.00 wholesale for 30 days. VMG+ alone is $89.50 — about the same money — but it also replaces any greens powder you buy. The Foundational Wellness Bundle (VMG+, EO Mega+, PB Restore) is $149.50 wholesale, which covers the omega you are giving up and adds the gut support. If you are on a monthly Rewards order, the bundle keeps you at 125 PV and adds a free 5 mL oil each month.

How to switch without a gap

Finish the pack you have. The next morning, VMG+ in cold water. No overlap, no taper. Swap the items in your next Rewards order on dōTERRA’s site, or use the buttons on the Get VMG+ page. If you take anything prescribed, show your physician the VMG+ panel first — it carries meaningful B12, folate, iodine, iron and K2.

Can I take VMG+ and my remaining LLV together?

You could, but you would be doubling the multivitamin. Finish one, start the other.

Is VMG+ vegan like Microplex VMz vegan?

Yes — VMG+ is vegan throughout, including algae-sourced D3. EO Mega+ is fish oil; vEO Mega is the plant alternative.

Do I lose the PB Assist+ I take with LLV?

No — keep it if you like it. dōTERRA suggests PB Restore and PB Assist+ together for the widest microbiome support; the bundle uses PB Restore.
