Now Vanilla Cream Flavor
Reliv
Overview
While Reliv Now Vanilla Cream Flavor provides a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and a decent amount of whey protein, the effectiveness of the proprietary blend is questionable due to undisclosed dosages. Many of the included vitamins and minerals are at good to high doses, but the specific benefits of the herbal blend cannot be fully assessed.
The Good

Comprehensive vitamin and mineral profile, with many ingredients at high potencies (e.g., Vitamin C, B vitamins, Biotin).
Contains OptiZinc, a forms of zinc with good bioavailability.
The Bad
The 'Now Proprietary Blend' does not disclose individual ingredient amounts, making it impossible to verify effective dosages for the botanical components.
Whey Isolate/non-fat dry milk is an allergen risk for individuals with dairy sensitivities.
Licorice Root Extract in the proprietary blend may interact with blood pressure medications or affect electrolyte balance.
