This is a high-dose broad-spectrum multi with strong B-vitamin coverage but notably limited vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Scoring criteria
  • Quantity

    75 / 100

    The routine supplies adequate amounts of many vitamins but is clearly partial for vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

  • Form

    65 / 100

    Several relevant chemical forms, including the magnesium and potassium complexes and vitamin A source, are not identified sufficiently to resolve their absorption or tolerability properties.

  • Convenience

    55 / 100

    The label directs adults to take one four-capsule serving daily with food, and the package title states 270 capsules.

  • Label accuracy

    75 / 100

    The quantified panel is internally consistent, but several complex and nutrient forms remain unspecified.

  • Formula balance

    60 / 100

    The formula is substantially skewed toward high B-vitamin and other vitamin doses while providing little vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, or potassium.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    The label lists ordinary capsule excipients without documented contaminants or product-specific purity controls.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    The additional bioflavonoids, inositol, PABA, and boron are not supported here as quantified complementary cofactors with established added benefit.
