Ultimate Man
The Vitamin Shoppe
Overview
The Ultimate Man multivitamin provides a broad array of vitamins and minerals, many at or above recommended daily allowances, which can effectively address nutritional deficiencies. The inclusion of ingredients like Saw Palmetto, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and a Fruit & Veggie blend suggests a comprehensive approach to men's health, though the effectiveness of these blends is often limited by proprietary dosing and general underdosing for therapeutic effects.
The Good
Provides comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals.
Many key vitamins (e.g., most B vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium, Chromium, Molybdenum) are provided at clinically relevant or abundant levels.
Includes targeted ingredients for men's health like Saw Palmetto and Lycopene.
The Bad
Proprietary blends (Tri-Scorb, Fruit & Veggie Blend, Amino Acid Blend) obscure exact dosages of individual components within them, limiting full efficacy assessment.
Saw Palmetto (undisclosed amount within Fruit & Veggie Blend) may be underdosed for optimal prostate health benefits (typical effective doses are 160-320mg).
Alpha Lipoic Acid (50mg) is at the lower end of effective doses, with many studies using 300-1800mg daily.
