Overview
•Low iron dose (2.1 mg) minimizes GI upset risk common with higher iron multis while still providing some support for cognitive function.
•Vitamin D at 5 µg (200 IU) is well below upper limits (100 µg/day) and safe for daily use in adults over 50.
•Contains no common allergens; confirmed wheat-, lactose-, nut-, and gluten-free.
•Selenium at 30 µg and zinc at 5 mg are moderate and unlikely to cause toxicity at one tablet daily.
•Mild risk of nausea if taken on empty stomach due to minerals; best with food.
