These supplements contain 100% of the recommended daily amount (RDA) of ferrous fumerate (which is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia), niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3 hailed for its claimed benefits to the skin), zinc oxide (an essential mineral) and vitamin B12 (essential for neurological health). It also contains magnesium (9% RDA), manganese (30% RDA), vitamin B6 (50% RDA), biotin (25% RDA) and copper (25% RDA), and many other properties, not all of which I recognise. Copper and zinc are rare deficiencies that few people need to correct. However, iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 deficiencies are more common. These supplements would therefore be a good idea for those at risk of such deficiencies or who wish to make sure they are ingesting a sufficient amount. However, some vitamins are notable by their absence from these supplements, such as vitamin A, E and C (which plays an essential part in the absorption of iron). There are multivitamin and mineral supplement complexes available in good pharmacies which contain all of these in addition to all of the essential trace elements, and which don’t smell, are packaged in blister packs as opposed to a plastic bottle, and cost less. Overall then, I would say these supplements might be a good idea if you feel you need the listed nutrients, but they are not the best you can buy.
