Overview

Met-Rx Active Woman offers a wide array of vitamins and minerals, many at or above daily recommended values, and includes additional ingredients targeting active women. While some key vitamins (e.g., B vitamins, C, D) are well-dosed, the effectiveness of the 'Active Sport Blend' and 'Antioxidant Blend' is difficult to assess due to their proprietary nature and generally low overall dosage.

The Good

Comprehensive B-Vitamin Complex for Energy Metabolism: Provides a full spectrum of B vitamins well above daily requirements, critical for converting food into cellular energy.

Adequate Vitamin D and C Dosing: Contains 2000 IU of Vitamin D and 200 mg of Vitamin C, supporting bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.

Targeted Minerals for Women's Health: Includes 100% Daily Value of Iron to prevent deficiency common in active women, and a notable amount of Calcium for bone density.

The Bad

Proprietary Blends Mask Dosages: The "Active Sport Blend" and "Antioxidant Blend" list multiple ingredients without individual dosages, making it impossible to ascertain their efficacy.

Likely Underdosed Specialty and Active Ingredients: Many ingredients within the proprietary blends, such as Ginkgo Biloba, L-Glutamine, BCAAs, Taurine, Coenzyme Q10, and Green Tea, are present in amounts far below clinically effective doses.

Extremely High Doses of Certain B Vitamins: Some B vitamins are present at thousands of percent of the Daily Value, which, while water-soluble and generally excreted, may be unnecessarily high.
