Overview
This multivitamin provides a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals, many at high doses. It includes blends for healthy aging, skin, and memory support, some of which have evidence to support their effectiveness however the combination in a proprietary blend makes it hard to determine the specific efficacy. While many of the vitamins and minerals are at or above recommended daily values, some ingredients (e.g. boron, silica, vanadium) lack strong evidence for benefit and are included at low doses.
