A reader recently posted a comment on One a Day Vitamins for men’s health that he saw an ad for on TV.  Curiously enough, I saw the ad just after I read that comment, and it generally looks like it might be a pretty good multivitamin for men. 

It’s got lycopene in it, which has been shown to be beneficial to a man’s prostate health and longevity in many studies.  Actually there were a few posts that talked about getting fruits and veggies rich in lycopene (it’s a potent antioxidant linked to many health benefits, among them prostate health, and is a common nutrient in natural vegetables), if you are concerned about prostate health, especially if you are a man over 40 years of age. 

It’s made by One a Day Vitamins, which also has other specialty vitamins for various age groups and population segments.  For example, One a Day makes vitamins for the aging population, the weight maintenance and weight loss concerned segment, and one especially for women’s special nutritional needs and common dietary short comings.

It could be debatable whether it’s the “best multivitamin for men“, but it looks like it may be promising as a decent standin if you are looking for a reasonably priced vitamin that you can purchase at a store.  It does claim to have double the amount of lycopene in it than it’s biggest OTC vitamin supplement rival Centrum.  The ingredients in this new vitamin offering from One a Day called One a Day Men’s Health Formula are as follows :
