Energy & Metabolism
GNC Mega Men
Overview
This multivitamin includes a large array of vitamins and minerals, though many are substantially above the recommended daily intake, and some key ingredients are underdosed. The 'Energy & Metabolism Blend' may provide a small energy boost via caffeine and green tea extract but the efficacy of many ingredients is uncertain due to proprietary blends. There is no evidence suggesting any major benefits over a standard multivitamin and it may provide risks due to high doses of some ingredients and underdosing of others.
The Good
Provides a wide range of vitamins and minerals that may address common deficiencies.
Includes a small amount of caffeine and green tea extract with a modest energy boosting capacity.
The Bad
Contains 100mg of caffeine per serving which may cause jitters, anxiety, and insomnia in sensitive individuals.
High doses of some B vitamins may cause gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea or stomach cramps.
Some ingredients, particularly at high doses, may interact with certain medications including blood thinners.
