Life Extension Two-Per-Day vs NOW Foods ADAM — Bioavailability vs Men’s Extras

Two Per Day

Universal multivitamin with a focus on bioavailability and active forms (5-MTHF folate, methylcobalamin). High-potency B vitamins, comprehensive antioxidant complex (quercetin phytosome, lutein, zeaxanthin), and triple-source selenium. Best for those needing methylated nutrients or enhanced antioxidant support; magnesium bioavailability is lower.

ADAM

Men’s multivitamin emphasizing prostate and cardiovascular support. Includes saw palmetto, lycopene, grape seed extract, and CoQ10. Delivers high-dose B vitamins but not always in the most active forms; includes chelated minerals and single-tablet dosing. Antioxidant coverage is narrower than in Two-Per-Day; saw palmetto bioavailability is variable.

Bottom line: Choose Life Extension Two-Per-Day for bioavailability-first forms (5-MTHF, methylcobalamin) and advanced antioxidant coverage; pick NOW ADAM for men’s-health extras and value pricing, accepting some trade-offs in active forms.
