Natural Factors Women's Once A Day Multivitamin & Mineral
Natural Factors
Overview
This multivitamin provides comprehensive daily support with many vitamins and minerals at or above daily recommended values, often in bioavailable forms. The inclusion of a wide array of vitamins and minerals, along with botanical and digestive blends, aims to support diverse aspects of female health. However, the doses of individual components within the proprietary blends are likely too low to provide significant therapeutic benefits.
The Good
Comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile covering daily nutritional needs.
Utilizes highly bioavailable and active forms of key nutrients (e.g., active Folate (Quatrefolic), Methylcobalamin, P5P, and MK-7 K2).
Contains organic fruit, vegetable, and greens blend for added phytonutrients.
The Bad
Low doses of certain beneficial ingredients (e.g., Organic Fruit, Vegetable & Greens Blend, Digestive Support Blend) may preclude significant effects.
Vitamin A in the palmitate form may not be ideal for some people and the amount is near the upper limit for daily intake from all sources.
The product contains several ingredients (Molybdenum, Cellulase, and Manganese) for which general supplementation is not widely recognized as necessary for healthy adults given adequate dietary intake.
Is it for you?
