More Than A Multiple Multivitamin For Men
American Health
Overview
The multivitamin provides a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals, with many B vitamins, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E at excessively high levels. While some ingredients like Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin D are dosed at reasonable levels relative to needs, the inclusion of numerous 'complexes' (Vegetable, Citrus, Mushroom, Men's Bioactive) and individual botanicals at very low, often sub-therapeutic, and undisclosed amounts makes their practical effectiveness questionable. The 'timed-release' aspect is also an unsubstantiated claim for most multivitamin components.
The Good
Comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile for broad nutritional support.
Inclusion of beneficial antioxidants like Pycnogenol, Lycopene, Lutein, and Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Contains some essential fatty acids (Borage Oil and Fish Oil), though at low doses.
The Bad
Excessively high doses of several B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B5) beyond physiological needs, increasing risk of side effects.
Vitamin A content (10,000 IU) exceeds tolerable upper intake level (UL) for daily chronic use and poses risk of toxicity.
Niacin at 50mg can cause flushing and may contribute to insulin resistance.
