Source of Life Women
NaturesPlus
Overview
NaturesPlus Source of Life Women is a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement containing a wide array of ingredients aimed at supporting women's health. While it provides many essential nutrients at or above daily values, the effectiveness of its specialized 'proprietary blends' (Multi-Color Whole Food Lightning Blend, Anti-Aging Blend, Fem-Effect Complex, Herbal Antioxidant Complex) is questionable due to the lack of transparent dosing for individual components within these blends. Many ingredients, particularly herbs, are likely present in sub-optimal amounts given the total blend weights. Some key vitamins are well-dosed, but others, like Vitamin D3, are at levels below what is often recommended for optimal health.
The Good

High doses of B vitamins to support energy metabolism and nerve function.
Includes L-Methylfolate, a more bioavailable form of folate, important for many bodily functions.
The Bad

Vitamin D3 content is lower than research-backed optimal doses
