Whole Food Women's Multivitamin
plnt
Overview
The plnt Whole Food Women's Multivitamin offers a comprehensive array of essential vitamins and minerals, many at adequate or above-adequate doses, which is beneficial for addressing potential nutritional gaps. However, the effectiveness of the extensive 'cultured' blends (vegetable, fruit, herbal, sprout, spice, and glyconutrient) is questionable due to very low dosages of their individual components. While some individual vitamins and minerals are well-dosed for general health, the broad spectrum of minor ingredients means that many are likely underdosed for any specific therapeutic effect they might otherwise exhibit.
The Good
Provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals.
Includes cultured blends, aligning with a 'whole food' marketing approach, even if dosages are low.
Vegetarian capsules offer an alternative for those avoiding animal products.
The Bad
Very high dose of Vitamin A exceeds recommended daily upper limits, posing a potential risk of toxicity.
Many 'cultured' ingredients within proprietary blends are likely underdosed for specific therapeutic effects.
The amount of Iron (3 mg) is low for a women's multivitamin, possibly insufficient for those with higher iron needs.
