Note that the "serving size" is 3 pills, so you're really only getting ~33 servings, not 100. Also, it contains wheat and has 2g of carbs per serving.

The milk thistle appears to be the better deal here, considering the value of the content of the supplement vs. a low-dose multi-vitamin that isn't as broad spectrum or having the bio-availability of certain other brands. That is if you need something that can be particular effective as a hepatoprotective (liver protecting/cleansing) supplement (via raising glutathione in the liver) as well as one that can reduce hdl cholesterol and blood sugar somewhat, and is generally well tolerated (i.e. little to no side effects). The only exception would be for those suffering from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) as it (milk thistle) can again lower one's blood sugar just slightly, which is generally beneficial if not inconsequential to most by gradually increasing insulin sensitivity over time to a minute degree for example, however can be potentially problematic for those who are hypersensitive to such a small change.

TL;DR: Milk thistle good, if you drink, take prescription medications or have elevated blood liver enzymes (indicated poor liver function), as it can be beneficial to the health of your liver, but potentially bad if you have extremely low blood sugar, though generally better for you if you can also benefit from a slight lowering of said blood sugar.

You have to realize that the nutritional content is what's in the item, not what your body will absorb, so 100% daily value isnt going to be 100% when consumed, especially in lower efficacy methods like melting tablets. As to whether or not youll exceed the values, that depends on your diet. Also the FDA recommendations are usually behind in times, like that awful food pyramid we had.

Also these contain wheat, corn, gelatin and sucralose for those with issues with that.

A lot of these minerals are overdosed anyway. I think you could get benefit from just taking one a day, especially because these things are supposed to be supplemental and not account for your only nutritional source. Even so, less than $4 for a month and change of multis isn't bad.

I think the reasoning behind giving you more than you need is because only a percentage of the vitamin gets absorbed to your body and everyone is different in this regard.

However i do not like the fact that you need to take 3 for one serving. My son had some smarty pants vitamins with omega 3 and he needed to take 4 day.

Since the daily serving is 3 tablets, I wonder if one takes one tablet at morning, lunch & dinner each, that would help spread out the dosing over the day & would increase the overall absorption.
Anyway, with the $3 coupon it's a good price, so in for 1.

Not a nutritionist but I think that what is listed on the bottle is what amount you need to consume, not absorb, a day. I don't think they are going to have people figure out what fraction of each mineral/vitamin they are absorbing.

also wanted to add, MAN those are really low levels for 3 tablets.

How good is nature made? I Remember I bought jarrow milk thistle years ago because it scored the highest by consumer labs both in extract and lack of pollutants. I heard there is also some conflict of interest with consumer labs because they can raise scores based on membership of some companies similar to bbb.

various forms have various bioavailability and inter-relationships with each other (both synergistic and antagonistic) in/directly affecting absorption. for example, 400mg of magnesium oxide (lower bioavailability and more antagonistic) is not the same as 400mg of chelated magnesium (higher bioavailability and less antagonistic). and this is not even accounting for elemental amount which means how much of 400mg is actually magnesium. also, dl- form of vitamin E shouldn't be in the same sentence as vitamin E consisting of all 8 isomers--tocotrienols & tocopherols (especially rich in gamma). so on and so on.

while i don't expect the average consumer to be well versed in these nutrient dynamics, it allows the multivitamin/supplement industry run rampant with improperly formulated, nonsense products because there is little awareness among consumers.
