🧪 Formulation Notes

Mega Men Energy & Metabolism is much more than a multivitamin- it's also a complete energy formula in one easy-to-mix powder!

Men's health Contains a clinically studied multivitamin formula shown to support men's health including 10 g of fiber for digestive health and lycopene for heart and prostate health.

Men's health Contains a clinically studied multivitamin formula shown to support men's health including 10 g of fiber for digestive health and lycopene for heart and prostate health. Energy & metabolism Packed with B vitamins essential for energy production. Also features a thermogenic blend, which increases calorie burning, and green tea to support metabolism. Mental focus Includes both an immediate and a sustained release of caffeine to support mental focus. Also includes choline, which supports memory function. Circulation Includes ingredients clinically shown to increase blood vessel dilation, and L-arginine, an essential precursor of nitric oxide, to help maintain blood vessel tone. Antioxidants Packed with antioxidants from both vitamins and plant-based sources. These antioxidants minimize the effect of free radicals that can be produced by intense exercise. They also support eye, skin and heart health.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 112 healthy volunteers, subjects taking the GNC vitamin and mineral blend for six weeks experienced significant improvements in serum levels of certain key nutrients compared to a placebo and leading multivitamin formula based upon multivariate statistical analyses of a group of B vitamins (thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid and vitamins B-6 and B-12) and key antioxidants and carotenoids (a group of beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol, selenium, lutein and lycopene). Statistical improvements in SF-36 Vitality and Mental Health scores were also observed compared to placebo.
