Men's Multiple
Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories
Overview
This multivitamin contains a wide array of vitamins and minerals, many at effective dosages. However, the efficacy of some specialized men's health ingredients like Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, Maca Root, and Astragalus is hampered by lower-than-clinically-studied doses or by being part of a larger blend where individual effects are difficult to ascertain. While it covers general nutritional needs well, the specific benefits from the 'men's health' complex are likely to be modest due to insufficient quantities of some key ingredients.
The Good
Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals for daily nutritional support.
High doses of B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, B6, B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid) for energy metabolism.
Includes targeted ingredients for men's health (Saw Palmetto, Phytopin, Pygeum) and adaptogenic support (Maca, Astragalus).
The Bad
Several specialized men's health ingredients (Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, Maca Root, Astragalus) are likely underdosed for their clinically established benefits.
Very high dose of Vitamin E (1000% DV) may have long-term safety concerns and interactions with anticoagulants.
Only 70% DV of Vitamin D, which is lower than recommended optimal levels for many adults.
Is it for you?
