Glucogen Complex
PROFESSIONAL FORMULAS
Overview
Glucogen Complex provides a comprehensive mix of vitamins and minerals in generally bioavailable forms. However, the inclusion of bovine tissue ingredients lacks robust scientific evidence, and some nutrients are present in relatively low doses. This may limit the overall effectiveness of the supplement compared to products with more targeted and evidence-based formulations.
The Good
Contains a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals, providing a comprehensive base for nutritional support.
Includes bioavailable forms of several B vitamins, such as methylcobalamin (B12) and Quatrefolic folate, potentially enhancing effectiveness, especially for those with genetic variations affecting vitamin absorption.
The mineral forms such as picolinate (zinc) and bisglycinate chelates (copper, manganese) are generally well-absorbed.
The Bad
Low doses of some key minerals like calcium and magnesium might not be sufficient to address deficiencies effectively.
Bovine-derived ingredients may not be suitable for vegetarians or individuals with specific dietary restrictions.
The inclusion of small amounts of organ tissues may pose risks for prion diseases, even though the risk is low, and may not be appropriate for everyone.
