GNC MEGA MEN® Performance & Vitality VITAPAK® PROGRAM
GNC MEGA MEN®
Overview
GNC MEGA MEN® Performance & Vitality VITAPAK® PROGRAM is a multivitamin designed to support overall health and vitality. It covers a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals but its efficacy is compromised by low doses of several key components, the use of less bioavailable forms, and the inclusion of proprietary blends, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of specific ingredients.
The Good
Contains high doses of several B-vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, B12, Biotin) which can help support energy and nerve function.
Provides a very high dose of Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol D-3) at 100 mcg (4000 IU), which is an optimal amount to support bone health and immune function.
Includes Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine) which is a bioavailable form that acts as an antioxidant.
The Bad
Contains excessive amounts of some vitamins, such as Vitamin E and Vitamin K, which although generally recognized as safe, can still lead to imbalances or adverse effects.
Includes oxide forms of minerals like magnesium and zinc, which have poor bioavailability, reducing the efficacy of these nutrients.
Contains extremely low doses of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium, providing minimal contribution to daily requirements.
Is it for you?
Best For: Adult men seeking comprehensive daily nutritional support, active individuals, those looking for vitality and performance enhancement
Skip If: You are sensitive to high doses of vitamins or minerals, have pre-existing medical conditions, or are on specific medications without consulting a doctor.
