Review of Ubervita's UberDay Multivitamin Supplement for Men



Uberday Multivitamin Supplement for Men is a popular nutritional supplement intended to provide men with the additional nutrients necessary for health, wellness, and fitness. 

Reportedly developed by professional trainers and formulated by biochemists, the product is intended to meet the nutritional needs of elite athletes and regular individuals. 

Ubervita reports Uberday contains the freshest and most potent ingredients available.

According to Ubervita, Uberday Multivitamin for Men contains no fillers, binders, or additives. The label reports Uberday is comprised of 24 ingredients contained in a vegetable-based capsule. No other ingredients are listed. 
Both the vegetable based capsule and the 24 ingredients contained within it meet the requirements of a vegan or vegetarian diet. The supplement is both Kosher and Halal.
The supplement’s labeling is misleading. It states the supplement contains certified ingredients, yet there is no information regarding what entails the ingredient certification. The product is also labeled as GMP certified. GMP, good manufacturing practice, is a regulation, not a voluntary certification. 
Products distributed in the United States must be GMP compliant or they cannot be legally distributed. Uberday has not been certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF), United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), or Consumer Lab, which are the three primary certification entities in the United States that provide voluntary certification of dietary supplements.
The supplement contains multiple ingredients in amounts that greatly exceed the recommended daily value. For example, vitamins C, E, and B5 are provided in an amount equal to 500% of the recommended daily value. 
The supplement provides 2941% of the recommended daily value of vitamin B2 and 2500% of the recommended daily value of B6. Uberday delivers acceptable levels of minerals including biotin, magnesium, chromium, and also vitamins A, D, and K. The amounts of these ingredients included in the supplement are considered safe.
Excessive amounts of water-soluble vitamins, including vitamin C and B, are considered harmless to the general population because the surplus is excreted in the urine shortly after consumption. 
Excessive consumption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K can pose significant risk. The body stores these vitamins rather than excreting them. This increases the potential for a toxic level of these vitamins to build up in the body.
Ingredients that have been shown to provide some type of benefit, but have not been assigned a recommended daily value, are present in amounts far too low to provide any benefit. For example, Uberday contains 250 mcg of alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant shown to improve brain function. 
A dose of 600 mg, or 600,000 mcg, per day is required to reap the benefits of alpha lipoic acid. The result is similar with the amounts of lutein, para-aminobenzoic acid, green tea extract, bee pollen, and propolis contained in the supplement. Users will not reap any benefits from these ingredients.
Two ingredients were incorrectly reported on the label. Copper, reported to be provided in the supplement in the amount of 20 mcg, was stated to be 1000% of the recommended daily value. The recommended daily value of copper is 2 mg, meaning the supplement only provides 1% of the recommended daily value of copper. 
Thiamin, otherwise known as vitamin B1, is reported to not have an assigned recommended daily value. It does, in fact, have a recommended daily value of 1.5 mg. The supplement provides 50 mcg, which is 3% of the recommended daily value of thiamin.
Most of the ingredients in Uberday are safe for consumption, whether they are provided in excessive or appropriate amounts. The amount of vitamin E contained in the supplement could cause increased overall mortality and disrupt blood clotting, if taken over a long period of time. Generally considered safe, excess amounts of vitamin C have been associated with increased risk of kidney stones.
Amazon reviews indicated users are very satisfied with Uberday. A majority of reviewers reported, when taken regularly, the supplement provides the benefits advertised including enhanced energy, improved stamina, and increased health. 
The one pill per day dosage is popular among users. Each bottle of Uberday comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and reviewers report customer service to be adequate.
In addition to the misleading information regarding GMP regulations and incorrect labeling of ingredients, there are other disadvantages to Uberday. The supplement claims to be formulated for elite athletes and regular guys of all ages. Nutritional requirement change as one ages and one supplement is unable to meet the needs of a variety of age groups. 
Additionally, there is a lack of detailed information regarding what form of each vitamin and mineral is delivered by the supplement. This information is important as some forms of vitamins and minerals are more readily absorbed by the body than others. Without knowing the form of vitamins and minerals it contains, it is difficult to determine the quality and potency of the supplement.
Uberday Multivitamin Supplement for Men can be purchased from the Ubervita for $29.95. It can also be found on Amazon for $19.95, which is a significant saving. Also available on Amazon are user reviews regarding the product. A large majority of the reviews are positive, rating the product at five stars. 
Some individuals on Amazon however, have expressed concern that the reviews are not genuine. Many of the reviews state customers received free product in exchange for a review. There are a number of five star reviews made by individuals verified to have purchased the product, which lends credibility to them.
Ubervita’s Uberday Multivitamin Supplement for Men claims to enhance energy, improve stamina, and increase health. These claims are supported by a large number of positive reviews on Amazon. The supplement is popular among users and can be purchased for a reasonable price. Despite these benefits, it is not recommended. Incorrect and misleading labeling does not lend an air of confidence to the supplement. 
When coupled with the lack of clinical evidence to back the claims and reports of positive reviews posted in exchange for free product, these concerns outweigh the positive effects of the supplement. Shoppers should use caution and speak with a medical professional before purchasing or using Uberday Multivitamin Supplement for Men.

  2. The first couple of days after starting this vitamin I did feel a bit more energized but also a bit shaky & jittery. After 4-5 days I started to get a slight headache and became a bit irritable - just not feeling myself. After I stopped taking the vitamins I then began feeling better and back to my normal self within a couple of days, so something in this product definitely did not agree with me. I emailed Ubervita customer service about returning the item and getting a refund since the product is advertised with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. But of course, I never got a response from them so I'm out $20.

    TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
