Multivitamins on a table with a multivitamin supplement nutrition label in front of the multivitamins

Answer:

The term "broad-spectrum micronutrients" appears to be a marketing term being used to describe supplements that contain all, or nearly all, essential vitamins and minerals that you need in small amounts. But so do many multivitamin/multimineral supplements and, usually, at lower cost.

Both types of products would typically provide about 100% or more of the Daily Value of essential micronutrients (those needed at microgram or low milligram amounts), and smaller percentages of the Daily Values of macronutrient minerals (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium), for which relatively large amounts (hundreds or thousands of milligrams) need to be consumed daily (preferably from food).
