Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘Country Life Vitamins Core Daily-1® for Women 50+ Multivitamin’ receives the lowest possible score on our scale, suggesting significant room for improvement. This product does not meet the criteria for those seeking cleaner, more natural supplement options.
The multivitamin is not organic, which immediately detracts from its standing on our site. The presence of non-GMO ingredients is not confirmed, leading to further deductions. Ingredients such as glycerin and corn starch, classified as potentially harmful additives, contribute to the product’s low score. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, further impacts the rating negatively.
The comprehensive Women’s Health Blend includes various components such as Calcium fructoborate, Ginger Extract, and a CranberryPlus Blend. The formula also features a Fermented Organic Whole Food Blend and Organic Aloe Vera, alongside Sharp-PS® Gold, which is a conjugated Phosphatidylserine-DHA complex. Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex is present to provide antioxidants. An Enzyme and Probiotic Blend aims to support digestive health with enzymes and beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Bifidobacterium longum.
However, the presence of cellulose, L-leucine, silica, and a vegetable glaze does not compensate for the product’s shortcomings. Additionally, allergen-sensitive users should be aware that it contains soy and fish derivatives from blue whiting and herring.
The product’s formulation, which includes a mix of vitamins, minerals, and other health-supportive ingredients, targets the specific nutritional needs of women over 50. Despite these potential benefits, the aforementioned concerns substantially overshadow the product’s positive attributes. Those prioritizing cleaner, organic, and non-GMO supplements are advised to consider alternative options that align better with these values. The ‘Country Life Vitamins Core Daily-1® for Women 50+ Multivitamin’ thus falls short of expectations for those seeking the highest standards in health and wellness products.
