It achieved an N+ Score of 54, resulting in an 'F' grade, placing it in the below-average tier for overall quality. This product notably provides Vitamin C (1000 mg), Vitamin B6 (10 mg), Vitamin B12 (25 mcg), and Pantothenic Acid (2.5 mg) at clinically studied dosages. However, research suggests that Thiamine, Riboflavin, and Niacin are underdosed in this formulation. The product exhibits 100% label transparency, yet its ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores are low. This supplement may appeal to those primarily seeking a high dose of Vitamin C with some B vitamins, while acknowledging other ingredients may not meet clinical thresholds.
