Description
Solgar Formula VM-Prime for Adults 50+ is a multivitamin and mineral food supplement formulated for adults aged over 50, providing 25 vitamins, minerals and other nutrients across a two-tablet daily dose. The two-a-day dose allows each tablet to be smaller and easier to swallow than an equivalent single large tablet.
Key Features
- Formulated for adults over 50: Designed to reflect the nutritional needs associated with middle age and later life, including changes in body composition and dietary intake.
- Two-a-day, smaller-tablet format: Splitting the daily dose across two tablets keeps each tablet smaller and easier to swallow.
- Supports bone health: Provides manganese and vitamin D, which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.
- Supports normal immune system function: Provides copper and selenium, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
- Supports cognitive function and mental performance: Provides iodine, which contributes to normal cognitive function, and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), which contributes to normal mental performance.
- Supports skin and cell protection: Provides vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, and vitamin E, which helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Does Formula VM-Prime for Adults 50+ contain iron?

Is this multivitamin suitable for vegans and vegetarians?
Yes. It's suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and is also Kosher certified. It's free from gluten, wheat, dairy and yeast, and contains no artificial flavours or colours.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Solgar states that this product is not intended for use by pregnant or nursing women.
Why does this supplement contain a high dose of vitamin B6, and is it safe?
Each daily dose (2 tablets) provides 25mg of vitamin B6, far more than the 1.4mg Nutrient Reference Value. UK food supplement labelling guidance requires a caution for vitamin B6 at doses above 10mg a day: long-term intakes of this amount of vitamin B6 may lead to mild tingling and numbness. See Warnings for the full precaution.
