Nutrient quality
While containing various vitamins, the listed 150 mg of boron is significantly above safe limits, creating a major safety risk. The use of basic nutrient forms like Cyanocobalamin also limits overall biological utility.
Analysis
This gummy multivitamin for women over 50 provides a range of vitamins including D3, C, and B12. It uses tricalcium phosphate to provide a small amount of phosphorus and calcium for bone health. The gummies are fruit-flavored and use pectin instead of gelatin, making them easier to digest for some people.
A major point of concern is the listed 150 mg of boron, which is far higher than the standard safe upper limit. This could be a labeling error, but it makes the product risky compared to other options. It also uses basic mineral forms and contains sugar, which may not fit everyone's health goals.
