53 out of 100

Men's Active Sports Multi offers broad nutrient coverage for active men, with several favorable vitamin and mineral forms. Its extensive ingredient range and incomplete blend details make the complete formula harder to judge.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality56

Several vitamins and minerals use favorable forms, including vitamins D and E and several minerals. Quality is more mixed or uncertain elsewhere, especially within the incompletely described mixtures and botanical ingredients.

Ingredient Transparency71

All listed amounts and many forms are disclosed. Missing composition details for several mixtures and blends prevent a full comparison of the formula.

Value For Money44

Value varies widely, with favorable comparisons for vitamin B6, vitamin E and molybdenum. Several other nutrients compare less favorably, while value for many added ingredients remains uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction88

Customer feedback is positive across a large review base. Those ratings do not establish that the extensive ingredient combination improves sports performance.

Product Focus0

The formula spans many ingredients and intended uses. Unidentified blend contents and limited goal information leave its purpose diffuse and expected benefits uncertain.
