leaderboard Score 30.0
An expensive joint health supplement with a moderate dose of food-based selenium, not suitable as a primary selenium or vitamin E source.
FYI Ultra is primarily formulated for joint health, featuring Glucosamine Hydrochloride along with 'Antioxidant Cartilage Health Complex' and 'Protective Tissue Response Blend.' It contains 100mcg of Selenium derived from 'Culture Media' (an organic, food-based form of selenium). Similar to other Garden of Life products, the selenium is a supporting ingredient, and the price per serving is exceptionally high, driven by the specialized joint-support ingredients. It's not a cost-effective or targeted source for selenium or vitamin E.
- Contains Glucosamine Hydrochloride for joint support
- Uses organic selenium from culture media, a bioavailable form
- Extremely high price per serving for the selenium content
- Selenium is a minor ingredient in a joint-focused formula
- Not a targeted selenium/vitamin E supplement
- Contains shellfish-derived glucosamine (if not stated otherwise), which is an allergen. Individuals with shellfish allergies should avoid.

Categories
Selenium 35.0
Provides a moderate 100mcg of selenium from a good organic source, but the product's exceptionally high price per serving, driven by its specialized joint health ingredients, makes it a very poor value for dedicated selenium supplementation.
Goals
Immunity 45.0
While selenium offers some immune support, its 100mcg dose is moderate within a product primarily focused on joint health, making it an inefficient choice for targeted immune benefits.
General Health 40.0
The product offers specialized joint support and a foundational dose of selenium. However, its high price limits its value as a general health supplement focused on these core nutrients.
Anti-Aging 40.0
Selenium's antioxidant properties contribute to anti-aging, but the dose is moderate within this product. Its overall formulation is not primarily geared towards broad anti-aging benefits compared to dedicated antioxidant formulas.
