A multi-ingredient supplement for women's wellness with a negligible PABA dose and critical transparency issues due to undisclosed proprietary blend quantities, making its effectiveness for hair and skin health unverified.
Bio Nutrition's Women's Wellness is marketed as a multi-component supplement. It includes a range of B vitamins, Vitamins A, C, D3, E, and some minerals. Biotin (300mcg) is a decent dose for general hair/skin support. However, its PABA content is remarkably low at only 5mg, rendering it ineffective for any targeted PABA-specific hair or skin benefits. A major concern is the presence of multiple proprietary blends (Digestive, Herbal, Super Food, Amino Acid, Co Factor, Minerals) with '0.00NP' for quantity, meaning the actual amounts of these potentially beneficial ingredients are completely undisclosed. This lack of transparency, a common red flag among nutritionists and informed consumers, makes it impossible to verify its claims or compare its potency to alternatives. Despite a moderate price per serving, the lack of clear ingredient data significantly diminishes its appeal and perceived quality.
- Contains a range of essential vitamins (A, C, D3, E) and B vitamins, including a fair dose of Biotin (300mcg) beneficial for hair and skin.
- Utilizes Hydroxocobalamin as a form of Vitamin B12, which is generally more bioavailable than Cyanocobalamin.
- Critical transparency issue: Multiple 'Proprietary Blends' listed with zero quantity (0.00NP), making it impossible to know the actual dosages of many ingredients.
- The PABA dose (5mg) is extremely low and unlikely to provide any significant targeted benefits for hair repigmentation or specific skin conditions.
- Low review count, indicating less widespread user validation.
- Significant lack of transparency regarding the quantities of ingredients within its proprietary blends (marked as 0.00NP). This makes it impossible for consumers to know what they are truly consuming or at what dosage, raising concerns about efficacy and value.

Categories
PABA 10.0
With a mere 5mg of PABA, this product offers a negligible amount of the compound. It essentially does not contribute meaningfully to the PABA collection for any therapeutic or targeted benefit, making it a poor choice for PABA supplementation.
Goals
Skin Health 35.0
While it contains some general skin-supporting vitamins, the very low PABA and undisclosed quantities of potentially beneficial ingredients within the proprietary blends make it an unreliable choice for targeted skin health benefits. The uncertainty surrounding its formulation greatly reduces its potential impact.
Hair Health 35.0
Despite a decent Biotin dose, the extremely low PABA content and the lack of transparency for other 'Herbal' and 'Amino Acid' blends mean its overall effectiveness for hair health cannot be properly assessed, making it less suitable for specific hair goals.
