The majority of products sold on Vitabiotics.com have a minimum of at least six months until their best before date, usually much longer. Occasionally we do offer a limited range of products, such as this one, with a shorter shelf life, typically between 2-6 months, at a discounted price.

Wellman 50+ is a comprehensive nutritional formula developed to safeguard the special nutritional needs of men aged 50 and above. The Wellman 50+ formulation provides an ideal, balanced palette of micronutrients for the 50 plus age group. The tablets are ideal for those with an active lifestyle and unlike a general multivitamin, they contain specialist bio-active nutrients to help maintain health & vitality with specific support for male health, including zinc, which contributes to normal reproductive health.

Wellman 50+ is a daily nutritional safeguard for men in their 50s, 60s and beyond, to help maintain good health and vitality including copper and iron which contribute to normal function of the immune system and energy release. There is no maximum length of time over which Wellman 50+ may be used.

Generally, Wellman 50+ may be used along-side medications because it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals, and it is free of any drugs or hormones. For specific advice on taking Wellman 50+ with medicines, we recommend that you contact your doctor or pharmacist first.

Wellman 50+ contains 30 tablets per pack and it is recommended to take one per day.

One tablet per day is recommended, with or immediately after your main meal, with water or a cold drink. Taking the tablet with a large meal maximises the absorption of the nutrients, and can reduce nausea, which is sometimes experienced if multivitamins are taken on an empty stomach. Wellman 50+ should only be taken on a full stomach. Always ensure that Wellman 50+ is taken with plenty of liquid to wash the tablet down, and not tea or coffee as this may cause the tablet to disintegrate too early. 

Difficulty in swallowing tablets is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively and recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider to swallow the chewed food and so the tablet should go down with greater ease. Alternatively, the tablets may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies.

Wellman 50+ has no known side effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended tablet intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately.

Results vary amongst individuals, but in most cases we would expect the beneficial effects of the nutrients in Wellman 50+ to build over several weeks, with noticeable results in one to three months. A regular intake is recommended.

Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level. 

The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV. 

All Vitabiotics products has been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals. 

Vitabiotics avoids "mega dose" levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect; an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.
