Women's 50+ Formula
SmartyPants PhD
Overview
The SmartyPants PhD Women's 50+ Formula provides a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and specialized ingredients beneficial for women over 50. While many ingredients are backed by scientific research, several are present at doses below what is generally considered optimal for significant effects, particularly for some of the B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and the various whole food extracts in the Spectra blend. The product excels in providing a good dose of Vitamin D, DHA, and CoQ10.
The Good
Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals.
Excellent dose of Vitamin D3 for bone health and overall well-being.
Good inclusion of Algal Oil providing a significant dose of DHA for brain and heart health, suitable for vegans.
The Bad
Magnesium and Zinc are significantly underdosed, providing only a small fraction of optimal or even adequate daily intake.
Several B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid) are provided at very low doses, likely insufficient for therapeutic effects.
The 'Spectra Whole Food Antioxidant Blend' is a proprietary blend, obscuring the exact amounts of each beneficial extract and likely underdosed for many individual components.
