Overview

This multivitamin and mineral supplement offers a broad spectrum of micronutrients, with many B vitamins and trace minerals provided at 100% of their established Daily Values. This helps in preventing common nutritional deficiencies. However, the efficacy is significantly limited by the suboptimal dosing of macro-minerals like calcium and a lack of specified, bioavailable forms for many ingredients. While it may support general nutritional gaps, it is unlikely to provide therapeutic benefits for specific conditions.

The Good

Comprehensive Range of Vitamins and Minerals: Provides a wide array of essential micronutrients including vitamins A, D3, E, C, full B-complex, and various trace minerals.

Meets 100% Daily Value for Many Nutrients: Ensures coverage for the Recommended Daily Intake of many critical vitamins (e.g., A, D3, E, C, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, Biotin, Pantothenic acid) and minerals (e.g., Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, Selenium), helping to prevent common deficiencies.

Includes Emerging Trace Elements: Contains Boron and Silicon, which, while not essential, are increasingly recognized for potential health benefits.

The Bad

Suboptimal Doses of Key Minerals: Calcium and phosphorus are significantly underdosed compared to recommended daily values and effective supplemental quantities. Magnesium is also provided at a suboptimal dose.

Generic Ingredient Forms: The label does not specify the forms of vitamins (e.g., A, E, B6, B12) or minerals (e.g., calcium, magnesium), which can impact bioavailability and efficacy.

Potential for Imbalance: The high percentage of DV for some vitamins (folic acid, B12) relative to others (e.g., D3, E) and significantly underdosed minerals might create nutrient imbalances.
