NATURELO One Daily Multivitamin for Men vs NATURELO Teen Complete Multivitamin with Iron

Pros

• ✓Uses better-absorbed nutrient forms: methylfolate, methylcobalamin, vitamin D from lichen, and calcium and magnesium from marine algae
• ✓NSF Contents Certified (NSF/ANSI 173) and third-party tested
• ✓Many reviewers like the whole-food, non-synthetic base (acerola cherry, kelp and a fruit and vegetable blend), and one notes the capsule has no added colourings
• ✓One capsule a day, and two reviewers call it easy to swallow

Cons

• ✗Costs more than high-street multis, and several reviewers mention the high price
• ✗Hard to feel any effect: one reviewer took it for 60 days and noticed no difference
• ✗One reviewer decided after more research that the doses are quite low, and another said the %NRV on the label didn't match the product description
• ✗One-off quality-control complaints: an expired bottle with a replaced outer wrapper, and a bottle with a loose seal and 58 capsules instead of 60

Best For

• ✓NSF Contents Certified (NSF/ANSI 173), and listed as third-party tested
• ✓Three reviewers are repeat buyers, and one recommends it for fussy-eating teens

Cons

• ✗Capsules are large: one reviewer's daughter couldn't swallow them, and two others found them hard to get down
• ✗Three reviewers complained about the taste or smell, calling it 'revolting', 'like eating a rotten broccoli' and fishy. Two others said it had little or no taste
• ✗Three reviewers complained about the price
• ✗The dose per nutrient isn't listed in the product information here. There's also no omega-3, so one parent had to buy that separately
