Pre-Teen Boys Daily Multi Vitamin
Michael's Naturopathic Programs
Overview
The Pre-Teen Boys Daily Multi Vitamin provides a broad spectrum of vitamins at doses that in some cases significantly exceed daily recommended values for adults, raising questions about appropriateness for pre-teens. While many key vitamins are present, the effectiveness of the proprietary blend is questionable due to undisclosed dosages and the relevance of some ingredients for pre-teen boys is not strongly established. The high doses of certain B-vitamins may not offer additional benefits beyond lower, sufficient doses and may even carry risks for long-term use.
The Good
Comprehensive B-Vitamin Complex for energy and metabolic support, albeit at high doses.
Includes essential fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, K2, and E.
Contains choline and inositol, which play roles in cognitive development and cellular function.
The Bad
Several vitamins are provided at excessively high doses for pre-teens, particularly Vitamin B complex and A, potentially increasing risk of side effects.
Inclusion of a proprietary blend with undisclosed dosages prevents full efficacy and safety assessment for many ingredients (e.g., Flax Seed Extract, Bioflavonoids, Oriental Ginseng, Pumpkin).
Vitamin A dosage (5000 IU) is at the adult RDA level and could approach the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for older pre-teens, risking toxicity with long-term use or other sources.
