Alive! Once Daily Women's Ultra Potency
This product features high-quality methylated B-vitamins (Methylcobalamin and 5-MTHF), which is rare at this price point. However, it relies on less bioavailable mineral forms like Magnesium Oxide and contains several proprietary 'superfood' blends that function as window dressing rather than providing therapeutic dosages. It is a high-value retail option but lacks the third-party USP/NSF certifications and fully chelated minerals required for a gold rating.
