Whole-food sourced men's multi with good folate (800mcg DFE at optimal) and vitamin K1 (120mcg at optimal). However, key minerals are significantly underdosed: zinc at 5.5mg (37% of optimal), selenium at 27.5mcg (50% of minEffective), iron at 5.4mg (30% of minEffective), and vitamin D at 1000 IU (25% of optimal). Vitamin C at 90mg is below minEffective. Food-based sourcing sounds premium but doesn't overcome the dosing gaps.

Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw One for Men: a solid everyday formula. Lead: Vitamin A at 900 mcg. Whole-food sourced men's multi with good folate (800mcg DFE at optimal) and vitamin K1 (120mcg at optimal). The primary is covered; some supporting doses sit below the studied amounts.
A one-a-day multivitamin designed to cover basic nutritional gaps for men.. This formula relies on yeast-fermented nutrients for better absorption. That is a great approach for basic daily values. But it falls short for male-specific needs by underdosing zinc and selenium. It also includes iron, which most men should actively avoid supplementing unless directed by a doctor.
