This multivitamin supplement provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals, along with several botanical extracts and other compounds. While it offers a comprehensive nutrient profile, the presence of carrageenan as a gelling agent, particularly in an ingested product, is a notable concern for individuals with inflammatory bowel conditions or those sensitive to gut irritants. The lack of a nutrition panel prevents a full assessment of potential over-supplementation risks for certain vitamins and minerals, which is crucial for a product of this type. Individuals with specific health conditions or those taking other medications should consult a healthcare professional due to potential interactions with ingredients like Vitex agnus-castus, Garcinia cambogia, and various botanical extracts.

Broad multivitamin with botanical extracts; includes carrageenan

This supplement offers a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts. However, it contains carrageenan, an additive that some individuals, especially those with gut sensitivities, may wish to avoid due to its potential to cause inflammation. The absence of a nutrition panel means we cannot assess the exact amounts of each nutrient, which is important for supplements to prevent excessive intake.

Okay for: Healthy adults seeking general nutritional support

Declared allergens: Milk and Soy

Other audiences

Avoid
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals

Contains Vitex agnus-castus (Chasteberry) extract, which is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to its potential hormonal effects.

Children and adolescents

This product is formulated as a multivitamin for adults. The dosage and specific ingredients, particularly the botanical extracts, may not be suitable for children or adolescents without medical advice.

What's good

Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals

Includes several beneficial antioxidants like Alpha Lipoic Acid, Beta Carotene, Lycopene, and Lutein

Contains various botanical extracts with potential health benefits

Watch out for

Presence of carrageenan, a potential gut irritant for sensitive individuals

Potential interactions of botanical extracts and phytoestrogens with medications or hormone-sensitive conditions

Lack of a nutrition panel makes it difficult to assess specific nutrient dosages and potential for over-supplementation

Decode Label Analysis

Contains Carrageenan (INS 407), a gelling agent that some individuals, particularly those with inflammatory bowel conditions or gut sensitivities, may wish to avoid due to potential links to inflammation and digestive issues.

The product contains several botanical extracts (Vitex agnus-castus, Garcinia cambogia, Gotu Kola, Garlic, Grape Seed, Citrus limon) and phytoestrogens (Daidzein, Soya Isoflavones) which can have pharmacological effects and potential interactions with medications or specific health conditions. Consultation with a healthcare professional is advised.

Absence of a nutrition panel prevents a full assessment of the exact quantities of each vitamin and mineral, which is crucial for a supplement to ensure appropriate dosing and avoid potential over-supplementation.

Combined Effects interactions

Vitex agnus-castus Extract Soya Isoflavones Daidzein

These ingredients have hormonal activity and may interact with hormone-sensitive conditions or medications, including hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills.

Garlic Extract Grape Seed Extract Phylloquinone

Garlic and grape seed extract may have anti-platelet effects, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding when combined with blood-thinning medications. Phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) can interfere with anticoagulant medications like warfarin.

Garcinia cambogia Extract Alpha Lipoic Acid Chromium Chloride

These ingredients may affect blood sugar levels and could potentially interact with diabetes medications, leading to hypoglycemia.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.

Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
