Overview

GNC SuperFoods Ultra Mega Green Women's Active provides a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, many at effective doses, alongside various antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetable blends, and specific ingredients for energy and digestion. While the vitamin and mineral content is generally well-dosed, the proprietary blends for fruit, vegetable, sports, and digestive ingredients make it difficult to ascertain the effective dosages of individual components within these blends. Some ingredients like Iron, B vitamins, and select carotenoids are adequately dosed, but the efficacy of many botanical extracts depends heavily on their specific concentrations, which are not disclosed.

The Good

Comprehensive Nutrient Profile: Delivers a wide array of vitamins and minerals to address common dietary gaps.

Energy Support: High doses of B vitamins and essential minerals contribute to energy metabolism.

Antioxidant Protection: Contains various fruit and vegetable extracts, along with lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene, offering broad antioxidant benefits.

The Bad

Proprietary Blends: Lack of transparency on exact quantities of ingredients within blends (Fruit & Vegetable Antioxidant Blend, Sports Blend, Digestive Health & Comfort Blend) makes it impossible to verify effective doses for all components.

Potential Underdosing of Botanicals: Due to proprietary blends, many beneficial botanical extracts may be present in sub-optimal amounts for their researched effects.

Potential for Gastrointestinal Upset: Some individuals may experience mild GI issues from certain fruit/vegetable extracts or enzymes, especially if sensitive.
