Category average: 57.2 / 100

This is a high-potency broad-spectrum formula that supplies substantial amounts of many vitamins and trace minerals, although it is not a replacement for dietary calcium, magnesium, or potassium.

Scoring criteria

Quantity
100 / 100
Six capsules provide a reasonable maintenance-level multivitamin and multimineral routine for general adult supplementation, despite modest amounts of some bulk minerals.
Form
65 / 100
D3 and folic acid are identified, but several substantive vitamin and mineral forms, including the vitamin E form and mineral salts, are not disclosed well enough to resolve relevant comparative absorption or tolerability properties.
Convenience
40 / 100
The label directs adults to take six capsules daily with food.
Label accuracy
75 / 100
The quantified panel is internally consistent, but the 100 mg niacin blend does not disclose the individual niacinamide and niacin amounts.
Formula balance
75 / 100
The formula broadly covers vitamins and trace minerals, but it combines high-dose vitamins with only modest calcium, magnesium, and potassium and shows no established formulation advantage.
Purity
75 / 100
The label shows ordinary capsule excipients and provides no product-specific purity testing or documented contamination evidence.
Cofactors
50 / 100
The declared citrus bioflavonoids may provide a complementary role at 100 mg, but meaningful added human benefit beyond the core nutrients is uncertain.
