Quantity: 60, Dose: Sodium: 15mgQuantity: 130, Flavour: Delicious Fruit
Alive! Men's Gummy Multivitamin provides a convenient and tasty way for adult men to get a daily dose of essential vitamins and minerals. While it includes a wide range of B vitamins, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin C, critical deficiencies exist in the very low levels of zinc and some B vitamins like Riboflavin and Thiamine. The 'Orchard Fruits & Garden Veggies Powder Blend' is present but in a quantity too small to offer substantial nutritional benefits, typical of gummy formulations that prioritize taste and convenience over comprehensive potency.
- Highly convenient and enjoyable gummy form, which can significantly improve daily compliance for supplement users.
- Contains a broad spectrum of essential vitamins, including a good dose of Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C, along with many B vitamins.
- Includes Lycopene, an antioxidant beneficial for men's health, though at a low concentration.
- Zinc content (3.6mg) is extremely low, falling far short of the 11mg daily recommended intake for adult men, severely compromising immune and male health support.
- The dosages of Riboflavin (0.33mg) and Thiamine (0.30mg) are markedly insufficient, providing only a small fraction of daily recommended values, impacting energy metabolism.
- The 'Orchard Fruits & Garden Veggies Powder Blend' at 100mg offers minimal actual nutritional value and is more of a marketing inclusion.
- The gummy format contributes to a higher carbohydrate and calorie count (5g Total Carbohydrates, 20 Calories per serving), which is a drawback for certain diets.
- Lycopene is included at a sub-therapeutic dosage (500mcg), insufficient for specific health benefits associated with higher intakes.
- Individuals with zinc deficiencies or those needing robust immune support may find this product inadequate.
- The sugar content should be considered by individuals managing blood sugar levels or weight.

Categories
Iodine 80.0
Providing 150mcg of Iodine as Potassium Iodide, the product successfully meets the daily recommended intake for essential thyroid hormone production and overall metabolic regulation. This is an appropriate and well-dosed form for a multivitamin.
Selenium 65.0
It offers 86.3mcg of Selenium as Sodium Selenate, which is a decent daily dose for general antioxidant support. However, this form is less bioavailable compared to L-Selenomethionine, slightly diminishing its overall effectiveness in the body.
Goals
General Health 65.0
This product delivers a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals for daily general health maintenance in a palatable gummy form. However, the critically low levels of zinc, Riboflavin, and Thiamine mean it offers less comprehensive foundational support than more potent multivitamin alternatives.
Immunity 60.0
While it contains immune-supportive Vitamin C, D3, and Selenium, the severely underdosed zinc (3.6mg) is a major limiting factor. Zinc is fundamental for immune system development and function, making the product less effective for comprehensive immunity support.
Skin Health 60.0
Including Vitamins A, C, E, Biotin, and a modest amount of zinc, it offers nutrients beneficial for skin health. However, the significantly low zinc content directly hinders its potential for promoting robust skin integrity, repair, and overall dermal well-being.

While its price per serving is higher than the Equate or 21st Century options, it still represents better value than the original gummy due to its higher quality forms of some nutrients (e.g., Methylcobalamin B12) and inclusion of beneficial ingredients like an organic fruit/veggie blend, alongside essential vitamins and minerals for general health. It's a good mid-range value option.
