A high-quality, comprehensive multivitamin with whole food concentrates and robust trace minerals, providing exceptional skin health support and strong general benefits for hair.
This multivitamin is designed as a 'complete foods' formula, providing a broad spectrum of vitamins (A, C, D3, E, K, and a full B-complex including active B12) and minerals (Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, Boron). A significant strength is its 1-gram 'Ionic Trace Minerals (ITM) Complex', ensuring a wide array of trace elements. For skin health, it excels with Alpha Lipoic Acid (75mg), Lutein (1mg), Lycopene (1mg), Bioflavonoid Complex, and strong doses of Vitamins C, E, and Zinc. For hair, it provides a solid B-complex and 150mcg of Biotin. PABA is present but at a low 5mg. The inclusion of Fruit/Berry, Vegetable/Greens/Sea Vegetables, and Mushroom Blends further enhance its nutrient density and antioxidant profile, making it a powerful holistic supplement.
- Very comprehensive multivitamin with an emphasis on whole food and botanical blends.
- Features a robust 1-gram 'Ionic Trace Minerals (ITM) Complex' for broad mineral support.
- Exceptional for skin health due to Alpha Lipoic Acid, Lutein, Lycopene, Bioflavonoids, and high antioxidant vitamins (C, E, A).
- Provides a solid B-complex (including active B12) and good Biotin (150mcg) for hair health.
- Contains digestive enzymes within its 'Plant Source Enzymes' (though quantities are 0NP, it indicates intent).
- PABA content (5mg) is low for a product in a PABA collection, not a primary feature.
- At 61 price per serving, it is on the higher side, though justified by its comprehensive and quality ingredients.
- The presence of various blends (Vegetables, Greens, Sea Vegetables, Fruit, Berry, Mushroom, Botanical) may not be suitable for individuals with specific allergies or sensitivities to certain plant ingredients.

PABA 40.0
At only 5mg of PABA per serving, the content is low, making its presence in a 'PABA' collection more tangential rather than a primary feature for PABA-specific benefits.
