Ultra Preventive X
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
Ultra Preventive X provides a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, many at or above recommended daily values, utilizing forms with good bioavailability. The inclusion of additional antioxidants, amino acids, and plant extracts adds to its comprehensive nature. While the dosages for core vitamins and minerals are generally effective, the proprietary blend and the specific amounts of some botanical extracts may not reach clinically proven efficacious levels for all targeted benefits.
The Good
Comprehensive nutrient profile: Delivers a wide array of essential vitamins and minerals to address potential dietary gaps.
High-potency B-vitamins: Provides significant levels of B vitamins which are crucial for energy metabolism and neurological function.
Well-absorbed vitamin forms: Utilizes bioavailable forms of B vitamins (e.g., P-5-P, methylcobalamin, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate).
The Bad
High serving size: Requires taking 8 tablets daily, which can be inconvenient for many users.
Excessively high doses of some vitamins: Vitamin A (15000 IU), Vitamin E (400 IU), Niacin/Niacinamide (190mg), and Vitamin B6 (100mg) are significantly above recommended daily values, potentially leading to side effects or interactions.
Molybdenum at a high dose: 100mcg of Molybdenum is higher than the generally advised 50mcg limit due to lack of extensive safety data for higher doses.
Is it for you?
Best For: Adults seeking comprehensive nutritional support, individuals with dietary gaps, those looking for antioxidant benefits
Skip If: You are pregnant or nursing without consulting a doctor, or have specific medical conditions sensitive to certain vitamins/minerals.
