A very affordable basic multivitamin for men 50+ that offers a broad spectrum of nutrients but often in less bioavailable forms and with lower, non-optimal dosages for certain minerals.
21st Century's One Daily Men's 50+ is a budget-friendly option that covers fundamental nutritional gaps. It contains a decent spectrum of B vitamins, antioxidants like Vitamin C and E (though the synthetic form of E), and some minerals. Critically, many of its mineral forms (e.g., Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Copper Sulfate) are known for poor absorption, and important vitamins like B12 are in the cyanocobalamin form, which is less active than methylcobalamin. The calcium and magnesium content is also quite low for men over 50. While the presence of Lycopene is a nice touch for prostate and heart health, its quantity is modest. The product is popular due to its low price, but nutritionists and many online reviews often highlight the compromises made on ingredient quality and optimal dosing.
- Extremely affordable price per serving.
- Covers a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals.
- Convenient one-a-day tablet form.
- Uses less bioavailable forms of several key minerals (Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Oxide, Copper Sulfate).
- Vitamin B12 is in cyanocobalamin form instead of the more active methylcobalamin.
- Synthetic form of Vitamin E (DL-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate) is used.
- Low dosages for critical minerals like Calcium and Magnesium for men over 50.
- Lycopene quantity is very low for significant benefits.
- Individuals with specific absorption issues may not fully benefit from the less bioavailable nutrient forms.
- Those seeking higher potency or premium ingredient forms for specific health goals should consider other options like 'Alive! Men's Ultra Potency Complete Multivitamin' or 'Life Extension Mix'.

Categories
Iodine 80.0
Provides 150.00mcg of Iodine as Potassium Iodide. This amount is the daily recommended intake and effectively supports healthy thyroid hormone production and overall metabolic function.
Molybdenum 75.0
Offers 90.00mcg of Molybdenum as Sodium Molybdate. This provides a good dose for its role as a cofactor for several important enzymes involved in detoxification and metabolism within the body.
Niacin 70.0
Provides 20.00mg of Niacinamide, a non-flush form of Niacin, which is a good standard dose for daily needs. This contributes well to metabolism and energy without the common side effect of flushing.
Goals
General Health 60.0
It provides a basic foundation of essential vitamins and minerals, helping to prevent common deficiencies. However, the use of less absorbable forms and lower doses for some nutrients means it may not optimize overall health as effectively as premium options, which often feature chelated minerals and active B vitamins.
Immunity 60.0
Provides Vitamin C, D3, A, E, Zinc, and Selenium, all vital for immune function. The inclusion of these key immune-supporting nutrients at reasonable levels makes it a decent foundational support for general immunity, though higher potencies are often preferred for robust immune boosting.
Energy 55.0
The inclusion of a full B-complex is beneficial for energy metabolism. While the doses are decent, the cyanocobalamin form of B12 is less preferred for optimal energy support compared to methylcobalamin, limiting its full potential and speed of action.
