Women's Menopause Multi + Youthful Skin
Hyland's
Overview
The supplement provides a mixed bag concerning effectiveness. While it delivers several essential B vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, B12) and Biotin at efficacious doses for general health support, the inclusion of Vitamin A at a dangerously high level (900% DV) is a major concern. Key minerals like Magnesium and Iodine are severely underdosed, rendering them largely ineffective. The proprietary nature of several touted ingredients for menopause and youthful skin, such as Red Clover, L-Theanine, Ashwagandha, Chaste Tree Berry Extract, Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen, Silica, and Sage Leaf Powder, means their individual amounts are unknown, thereby preventing an assessment of their potential efficacy. Without transparent dosing, it is highly likely that many of these specialized ingredients are present in amounts too low to confer their purported benefits for youthful skin or menopausal symptom relief.
The Good
Comprehensive multivitamin base providing several essential B vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, B12) and Biotin at or above 100% DV, supporting metabolic functions and energy.
Contains Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol) at 100% DV, important for bone health and immune function.
Utilizes well-absorbed forms of certain minerals like Zinc Picolinate and Copper Bisglycinate, as well as high-quality Folate (Quatrefolic) and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin).
The Bad
Vitamin A dosage is excessively high (900% DV), potentially leading to toxicity with long-term use.
The product's classification as a "Multi + Youthful Skin" is misleading given the very low doses of skin-supporting ingredients like Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen and Silica where amounts are not even specified, rendering them unlikely to be effective for skin health.
Several key ingredients, including Red Clover, L-Theanine, Chaste Tree Berry Extract, Ashwagandha Root Extract, and Sage Leaf Powder, do not have specific dosage amounts listed on the supplement facts, making it impossible to assess their efficacy.
