Solgar's VM-75 packs strong B-complex doses — **Thiamine**, **Riboflavin**, **Niacin**, **B6**, and **Pantothenic Acid** all come in at 75mg, well within the clinical range for energy metabolism and nervous system support. **Vitamin C** at 250mg and **Vitamin E** at 100mg (in the natural d-alpha form) round out the antioxidant coverage. The iron-free design makes this appropriate if you're a man or postmenopausal woman who doesn't need extra iron.

The mineral side uses Albion chelates for **Zinc**, **Copper**, **Manganese**, and **Chromium**, which absorb well. However, the actual mineral doses are low — **Zinc** at 10mg falls short of the 15–30mg clinical range, **Magnesium** at just 10mg is a fraction of the 200mg+ you'd need for meaningful benefit, and **Selenium** at 25mcg is a quarter of the typical supplement dose.

The biggest gap is **Vitamin D** — only 400 IU in the D2 (ergocalciferol) form, which raises blood levels less effectively than D3 and sits well below the 1,000–5,000 IU range most practitioners recommend. The B vitamins also use basic forms (pyridoxine instead of P5P, folic acid instead of methylfolate, plain cobalamin instead of methylcobalamin), meaning your body has to convert them before it can use them.
