Spectra
DaVinci Laboratories
Overview
Spectra by DaVinci Laboratories is a multivitamin and mineral supplement designed to provide a comprehensive array of nutrients. It includes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. While many of the vitamins and minerals are present in amounts exceeding the RDA, the clinical significance of such high doses requires individual assessment. The inclusion of a large number of ingredients may result in some being underdosed, potentially limiting their effectiveness.
The Good

Includes amino acids, citrus bioflavonoids, and digestive enzymes for broad support.
High doses of B vitamins may provide an energy boost for those deficient.
The Bad
High doses of some nutrients (Vitamin A, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E) may not be necessary or beneficial for individuals already consuming a balanced diet.
The 5mg of Iron can lead to accidental overdose in young children which can be fatal.
The large number of ingredients means several are present in very low doses, potentially limiting their effectiveness.
