Overview

This multivitamin provides a robust profile of essential vitamins and minerals, with many key ingredients dosed at effective levels. The inclusion of various B vitamins, Iron, and Zinc is particularly beneficial for women's health. However, the efficacy of the 'Fruit & Veggie Blend' and other specialty ingredients is questionable due to likely underdosing, as their individual amounts are not disclosed within the blend. The product also contains high doses of some B vitamins, which, while generally safe, are largely excreted if not needed.

The Good

Comprehensive multivitamin/multimineral blend for overall health.

Good doses of key vitamins and minerals like Vitamin D3, E, and B vitamins.

Adequate iron content (27mg) to meet women's specific needs.

The Bad

Undisclosed amounts of individual ingredients within the 'Tri-Scorb Proprietary Blend' and 'Fruit & Veggie Blend', hindering efficacy assessment.

Specialty ingredients such as Alpha Lipoic Acid, Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Pomegranate, Cranberry Concentrate, Inositol, Lutein, Lycopene, Astaxanthin, and Zeaxanthin are likely underdosed for significant therapeutic effects.

Very high doses of certain B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, B6, B12) exceed physiological needs and are largely excreted, potentially leading to 'expensive urine'.
