Score 88.0

A comprehensive multi-vitamin with bioavailable nutrients, whole-food concentrates, and digestive enzymes, but requires 6 mini-tabs daily and has a less robust bioflavonoid profile.

Analysis

This multi-vitamin aims to provide broad-spectrum nutritional support, leveraging high-quality ingredients such as active B vitamins (Methylcobalamin, L-5-MTHF) and chelated minerals to ensure optimal absorption and utilization. Its formula is fortified with digestive enzymes (Lipase, Amylase, Papain, Bromelain) to aid nutrient breakdown, alongside significant amounts of Spirulina for overall vitality and detoxification. While it maintains excellent doses of core vitamins and minerals, the substantial number of mini-tabs required per dose might be inconvenient for consistent use. The reduced quantity of the bioflavonoid complex also means it offers slightly less antioxidant and synergistic support from these compounds compared to similar products in the Source of Life line.

Pros
  • Contains active and highly bioavailable forms of key vitamins (Methylcobalamin B12, L-5-MTHF Folate) and chelated minerals for superior absorption.
  • Includes a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes and a significant amount of Spirulina (1000mg) for digestive and overall health support.
  • Offers a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals at good potencies, addressing numerous health goals.
  • The 'Mini-Tabs' form might be perceived as easier to swallow for some individuals compared to very large standard tablets.
Cons
  • Requires a high number of tablets per serving (6 mini-tabs), which can be inconvenient for daily use and reduce compliance.
  • The bioflavonoid complex is significantly less comprehensive (60mg vs. 300mg) compared to the 'Source of Life Multi-Vitamin & Mineral with Whole Food Concentrates Tablets' (ID 171342).
  • The 18mg iron content may be unsuitable for individuals, particularly men or post-menopausal women, who do not require iron supplementation.
Warnings
  • Users may find the 6-tablet daily serving cumbersome, potentially leading to inconsistent intake.
  • As with other iron-containing multivitamins, men and post-menopausal women should consult a healthcare provider to confirm iron supplementation is necessary for their health status.
