A general fruit/probiotic blend with an extremely low B12 dose (100 mcg) at a very high price, unsuitable as a primary B12 supplement.

Analysis

The Natrol Daily Fruit product is misleading if viewed as a B12 supplement, as its primary components are fruit blends, probiotics, and other vitamins, with B12 being a minor ingredient. The 100 mcg dose of cyanocobalamin is significantly lower than recommended for therapeutic B12 supplementation or for addressing common deficiencies, making its contribution to B12-specific goals negligible. Furthermore, its price per serving is exorbitant for the minimal B12 content, offering very little value to someone focused on B12. This product is better understood as a general wellness blend where B12 is an afterthought, rather than a targeted B12 solution.

Pros
  • Includes a blend of organic fruits and probiotics for general wellness.
  • Contains other beneficial vitamins like C, B6, and Folate.
Cons
  • Extremely low B12 dosage (100 mcg) is insufficient for most B12-related goals.
  • Exceptionally high price per serving, offering very poor value for B12 content.
  • Uses cyanocobalamin, the synthetic B12 form.
  • Primarily a general supplement, not a dedicated B12 solution.
Warnings
  • Do not rely on this product as a sole or primary source for B12 supplementation.

Categories
Vitamin B12 20.0
As a Vitamin B12 product, its extremely low dosage and disproportionately high price make it an ineffective and poor-value choice, failing to meet typical B12 supplementation needs.
Goals
Energy 20.0
The minimal B12 dose (100 mcg) is unlikely to significantly impact energy levels for individuals seeking a boost or addressing fatigue, especially given its high cost.
Brain Health 20.0
The very low concentration of B12 offers negligible support for complex brain health goals, as higher doses are typically required for cognitive benefits.
Mood Support 20.0
With only 100 mcg of B12, this product cannot effectively contribute to the critical B12 levels needed for robust mood regulation and neurotransmitter synthesis.
