Review
Summary |
According to the manufacturer, Ultra 4 is a “different breed of supplement”. Although it contains most of the same vitamins and minerals found in virtually all multivitamins on the market, this product claims to be unique in that it does not contain potentially harmful additives, such as sugar or shellac. This may lead some consumers to believe that they are getting a more effective supplement. However, there are a number of other factors that play an even larger role in a multivitamin’s effectiveness. We will carefully examine this product in order to determine whether or not this product actually delivers on all of its products.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of numerous organ systems. It promotes the absorption of the minerals calcium and phosphorous, assists in bone formation, and helps to promote the formation of tumors. Adequate sun exposure is one way to increase one’s levels of vitamin D. It can also be found in foods such as fish, fortified dairy products, and certain mushrooms. While some scientists claim that modern sunscreens may be increasing vitamin D deficiency, dermatologists contend that the risk of skin cancer is a far greater concern particularly for fair-skinned individuals. For this reason, doctors recommend continued sunscreen use along with a vitamin D supplement.

Ultra 4 is likely to appeal to those who are looking for a multivitamin that will provide all of their essential vitamins and minerals. Of course, in order for an individual to get all of the benefits that a multivitamin promises, it must be adequately absorbed. For this reason, we strongly recommend looking for a multivitamin that contains an absorption enhancer, which can greatly increase the rate at which the vitamins and minerals are taken in by the body. The ingredient 2-AEP has been shown to be particularly effective. Unfortunately, Ultra 4 does not contain 2-AEP or any other absorption enhancer.

| Positives |
|
• Fairly affordable at $20 for 30 servings
• Does not contain sugar
|
| Negatives |
|
• No free trial sample available
• Does not post testimonials
• Formula does not include 2-AEP
|
| Final Thoughts |
|
We were pleased to see that Ultra 4 does not claim to deliver a complete day’s nutrients in a single tablet. The directions for this product indicate that one day’s does is four pills, but unfortunately, the pills are not individually packaged.
For greater convenience, we recommend that consumers look for a manufacturer that offers single-serving packs, so that they can simply grab and go. For even greater reassurance, we also recommend products that offer free trial samples.
