PREP PHASE
Systemic Formulas Inc.
Overview
PREP PHASE by Systemic Formulas Inc. is a complex supplement containing a mix of vitamins, minerals, and proprietary blends aimed at supporting various physiological functions. While some ingredients like Vitamin B6, B12 and Zinc are present in reasonable amounts, the overall efficacy is questionable due to the underdosing of several other components and the lack of transparency regarding the exact amounts in the proprietary blends. Further, some ingredients like molybdenum appear to be dosed at negligibly low levels.
The Good
Contains methylated forms of Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), which may be beneficial for individuals with impaired B12 absorption or MTHFR gene polymorphisms
Includes chelated forms of zinc and molybdenum which in theory could enhance absorption
Provides a convenient way to supplement with several essential vitamins and minerals for those with inadequate dietary intake
The Bad
Presence of proprietary blends limits the assessment of individual ingredient dosages and efficacy
Some ingredients are present in low dosages and may not provide significant benefits
Molybdenum at 7.5 mcg is a very low dose, unlikely to provide any benefit
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, individuals seeking pre-workout energy and focus
Skip If: You are sensitive to stimulants, pregnant, nursing, or have pre-existing medical conditions without consulting a doctor.
