The Solgar VM Prime is a dietary supplement with a balanced formula of vitamins and minerals in chelated form (Albion laboratories), specially designed for adults over 50 years old, without iron. The package contains 60 smaller tablets for easier swallowing, suitable for vegans.
It is aimed at adults over 50 years old who want a broad coverage of nutritional components adapted to this age group, as part of a balanced diet.
The minerals in the composition (including manganese, zinc, selenium, chromium, and copper) are in chelated form, prepared by Albion laboratories. Chelated form means that the metal is linked to amino acids, a technique that exploits amino acid absorption pathways in the intestine, different from the inorganic forms of minerals.
The formula does not contain iron, as iron needs typically decrease after menopause in women, and excessive iron intake without medical indication is not recommended for adults over 50 years old. Vitamin B12 is included in an increased amount compared to general multivitamins, as its absorption tends to decrease with age.
The formula combines vitamins and minerals with, depending on each, approved health claims regarding energy metabolism, immune and nervous system function, and the maintenance of normal bones.
It suits adults over 50 years old who are looking for a broad coverage of nutrients without iron, as part of a balanced diet. It is not intended for the prevention or treatment of a disease and does not replace medical advice.
