Comments: I reviewed the Fruit Antioxidant and Green Phyto base blends together, as – with the exception of 2 g of the fruit or green blends – they’re virtually identical supplements.
In general, both ALL ONE blends are fairly described as “high-potency” multivitamin/mineral supplements. Most of the antioxidant activity is likely to be from the added flavonoids, however, rather than the fruit or green blends…2 grams of veggie/fruit powders is less than half a teaspoon, after all – not really enough to make a substantial phytonutrient contribution.
The ALL ONE powders provide a minimum of 100% (and often more) of the RDA for all the principal vitamins, with the exceptions of Vitamin K and Biotin. They also provide a substantial percentage of most minerals – including 110% of the RDA for Calcium. This is unusual for most multis, which typically provide 20% or less.
They also appear to be a better value than many high potency multis. For example, a 1,000 g canister of the Fruit Antioxidant blend provides 66 servings…which I found for $46.77 at iHerb.com.
It seems a little unfair to evaluate these supps for taste. They’re designed to be largely tasteless and the instructions clearly specify that they should be dissolved in juice. Unfortunately, I’m not a juice drinker, so I decided to try them in water, instead. The good news is that they really are (more-or-less) tasteless, although they have a somewhat yeasty odor and a not-very-appetizing, murky appearance. But it would be virtually impossible to make a supplement of this nature taste good without a lot of additives, so the fact that it doesn’t taste awful is a credit to the manufacturer.
Overall, the ALL ONE powders appear to be solid products, and would be useful for those who like the idea of taking a high potency multi, but dislike the idea of taking multiple capsules or tablets each day.
