Lung Factors
Michael's Naturopathic Programs Lung Factors is categorized as a Joint & Bone supplement, despite its name, and contains six ingredients. This product received an N+ Score of 53, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. While Vitamin B6 is present at a clinical dose of 18mg, other key ingredients like Vitamin D3 (0.6mcg), Calcium (180mg), and Iron (3mg) are notably underdosed according to established guidelines. The inclusion of a proprietary blend for the remaining 1.8 grams limits full transparency regarding individual ingredient amounts. This product may appeal to those seeking a multi-ingredient formula, but its overall low N+ Score and underdosed components suggest potential limitations in efficacy.
