Ultra Preventive IX
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
Ultra Preventive IX offers a very broad range of essential vitamins and minerals, with many being dosed sufficiently to address potential deficiencies. However, the effectiveness of many of the included botanical extracts and specialized compounds is severely compromised by underdosing, with some ingredients present in quantities far below those shown to have clinical effects, and others included in proprietary blends that hide their actual amounts. The high dosages of certain compounds also raise safety concerns.
The Good
Comprehensive multivitamin/mineral profile addresses a wide range of nutritional needs.
Includes a variety of B vitamins at high potencies, which are beneficial for energy metabolism and nervous system health.
Contains beneficial minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Selenium at effective doses.
The Bad
High number of pills per serving (7 tablets)
Some ingredients are significantly underdosed, diminishing their potential effectiveness (e.g., Green Tea Extract, Boron, Vanadium, Choline, Inositol, L-Methionine, Glutamic Acid, Pycnogenol, Red Wine Proanthocyanidins, Ginkgo Biloba, Eleutherococcus Senticosus, Echinacea Purpurea, Echinacea Angustifolia, Garlic, Green Papaya Extract, Beet Extract, Apple Pectin, Bromelain, Rose Hips, Lemon Bioflavonoids, Rutin Complex, Hesperidin Complex, Spirulina, Chlorella)
High dose of Vitamin A (25000 IU) exceeds tolerable upper intake level (3000 mcg for adults), potentially leading to toxicity with long-term use, especially when combined with other dietary sources.
