Energy & Metabolism Chocolate
GNC Women's Ultra Mega
Overview
This product contains a vast array of ingredients, many of which contribute to its claims of supporting women's health, improving energy and metabolism, and aiding digestion. However, many ingredients are part of proprietary blends which prevents any real assessment of their dosing. Moreover, many ingredients are present at doses where it's difficult to confidently claim to have a beneficial effect based on current research. The inclusion of high doses of many vitamins and minerals, along with ingredients aimed at improving energy and metabolism, may provide some benefits for some women. However, it's unlikely that everyone will see meaningful results, and the benefits may not outweigh the risk of side effects associated with the various compounds.
The Good

Risk of side effects from high doses of certain vitamins such as nausea, headache, or allergic reactions.
Contains several ingredients at doses where the clinical benefit is unclear. Many of these ingredients are also part of proprietary blends, preventing adequate assessment of their individual dosage.
