Overview

This formula provides 100% of the daily value for 24 essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C and E, and delivers significant caloric intake (1500 kcal per serving). While the product states '24 essential vitamins and minerals' are present at 100% DV, specific quantities for all components are not provided, which limits a full assessment of optimal dosing for each individual nutrient beyond Vitamin C and E.
