50 & Wiser Women
Garden of Life Vitamin Code
Overview
This multivitamin for women over 50 provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals, aiming to support overall health and well-being. However, the use of proprietary blends and relatively low doses of some minerals, coupled with a lack of specific ingredient quantities, makes it difficult to definitively assess the effectiveness of all components and adjust based on individual requirements.

The Bad
Low doses of some minerals may not meet individual needs
Unspecified amounts of individual fruits and vegetables in the blend make it difficult to assess efficacy
