SmartyPants PhD Men's 50+ Formula is a multi-ingredient supplement designed for men over 50, featuring 25 total ingredients. The product has an N+ Score of 53, earning an F grade, indicating a below-average quality rating. It provides several ingredients at clinically studied doses, including Vitamin A (360 mcg), Vitamin C (72 mg), Thiamine (0.8 mg), Folate (400 mcg DFE), and Vitamin B12 (6 mcg). However, key vitamins such as Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K are noted as underdosed compared to established clinical benchmarks.
