Overview

Multi Vitamin Calm provides a robust blend of essential vitamins and minerals, many at or above 100% of the Daily Value, which is highly effective for addressing general nutritional needs. The inclusion of Shoden Ashwagandha and L-Theanine at doses shown to be effective in clinical research suggests potential benefits for reducing stress and improving cognitive functions. However, the 'Spectra Blend' contains numerous fruit and vegetable extracts in a proprietary blend, making it difficult to ascertain the individual efficacy of these components due to unknown dosages for each ingredient.

The Good

Comprehensive daily vitamin and mineral support.

Contains clinically studied ingredients for stress reduction (Shoden Ashwagandha, L-Theanine) at effective doses.

Uses high-quality, bioactive forms for several vitamins and minerals, enhancing absorption (e.g., methylated folate, coenzyme forms implied by 'body-ready').

The Bad

Proprietary 'Spectra Blend' (100 mg total for 29 ingredients) makes individual dosages of fruit and vegetable extracts likely sub-therapeutic.

Some essential minerals (Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum) are underdosed (50% or less of DV).

High dose of Vitamin B12 (1000% DV) is significantly above the RDA, and while generally safe, could be unnecessary or have implications for specific individuals.
