The Solgar Formula VM-2000 in a pack of 180 tablets is the large size of Solgar's multivitamin formula. A daily dose of two tablets provides 20 vitamins and minerals, including 300mg vitamin C, 134mg alpha-TE vitamin E, 100mg each of four main B vitamins, 15mg zinc and 25µg selenium, along with soy protein, inositol, choline, taurine and carotenoids.
It is aimed at people who have already tried the formula and want to take it systematically, those who prefer not to reorder every month, and households where the supplement is part of the daily routine for a full three-month cycle.
The composition does not have just one antioxidant ingredient, but five that carry the same approved claim: vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, magnesium and selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.* The biology behind this is interesting because these components work at different sites within the cell. Vitamin E is fat-soluble and moves within cell membranes, while vitamin C is water-soluble and is found in the aqueous environment around them.
The two molecules are functionally linked. Vitamin C helps regenerate the oxidized form of vitamin E,* thus restoring it to an active state after it has acted on the membrane. Selenium and magnesium, on the other hand, are cofactors of the same system, while riboflavin participates in the regeneration of glutathione. This is why a complete formula provides a different picture than a single preparation.
According to Solgar's own product presentation, VM-2000 is described as a high-potency multivitamin that meets nutritional needs during periods of intense daily activity:
The above statements are attributed to the manufacturer. The amino acids and glutathione of the formula do not have an approved health claim from EFSA and remain the subject of research.
It suits adults who already take the formula and want the most economical per tablet size. It suits people with a busy work schedule and irregular meals. It suits those who exercise regularly and want consistent coverage in B vitamins and trace elements. It is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, as the manufacturer does not recommend it in these cases.
The product is a dietary supplement and does not replace medical diagnosis or medication. It contains soy and is not suitable for people with a related allergy.
