Women's Ultra Mega Energy & Metabolism Multivitamin
GNC Women's Ultra Mega
Overview
This multivitamin provides a wide array of vitamins and minerals, many of them at very high doses. The ingredient profile also includes ingredients that are promoted to support energy, metabolism, joints and skincare, although these are likely underdosed due to the large blend. While the core vitamin and mineral components are backed by clinical trials, the other ingredients may not deliver the level of support expected based on the marketing.
The Good
Provides a high dose of multiple essential vitamins and minerals.
Includes several antioxidants that may help protect against cellular damage.
Contains B vitamins that may contribute to increased energy levels and improved mood.
The Bad
High doses of some vitamins (B vitamins, Vitamin C) may not be necessary for all users and could cause side effects.
The 'Performance Energy & Metabolism' and 'Joint & Skin Support' blends are underdosed and of questionable benefit.
Contains multiple ingredients that have not been sufficiently researched with regard to their long-term effects in combination.
Is it for you?
Best For: Adult women seeking daily nutritional support, energy, and metabolism boost
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
