Multi-Vitamins With Minerals
Thompson
Overview
The Thompson Multi-Vitamins With Minerals offers a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, but its effectiveness is limited by underdosing of several key ingredients and potentially over-dosing of Vitamin A, which can lead to safety concerns. While it covers many essential nutrients, the quantities provided for some (e.g., Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Pantothenic Acid) are significantly below established optimal or even adequate intake levels for many adults. The additional 'Choline Bitartrate', 'Alfalfa', and 'Beef Liver' are present in such small amounts that their contribution to overall efficacy is negligible.
The Good
Provides a broad range of essential vitamins and minerals.
Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Iodine, and Manganese are reasonably dosed.
Contains some B vitamins at doses that may support energy metabolism.
The Bad
High dose of Vitamin A (10,000 IU) approaches the upper intake limit, risking toxicity with long-term use.
Several key minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Phosphorus) and vitamins (Vitamin E, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6) are significantly underdosed, rendering them ineffective or minimally effective.
The amounts of Alfalfa and Beef Liver are too low to offer any significant health benefits.
