Performance Lab Whole-Food Multi For Men Review: Game Changer?
There's a decades-old debate in the health space that hasn't found any closure. That battle rages between people who think you should get all your nutrients from food and those who think modern-day food is woefully inadequate and needs to be supplemented.
Of course, the first supplement many people consider is a multivitamin. So today, I'm going to talk about that topic.
Fortunately, the multivitamin and mineral industry has also developed since the 1980s. Gone are the supplements with fillers, sky-high vitamin doses (such as 2,500% of the recommended Daily Value of vitamin B6).
The next generation?
Performance Lab contends to have created a product that leapfrogs the quality of previous multivitamins. One claim is that the Performance Lab Multi for Men - that I'm reviewing here - contains vitamins and minerals as they are found in food.
How valid is that claim though?
Stay tuned and read my assessment...
Performance Lab Multi For Men Review Summary:
Reasonably well-balanced multivitamin in terms of vitamins and minerals
Very plausible explanation as of why their vitamins and minerals are superior
The case for taking multi vitamins and minerals is strong today
Good $30-40 per month pricing with a no-questions asked refund option
Still uses a "shotgun" approach without quantification. The underlying assumption is that all people are the same and need the same nutrients.
Claim about superiority of BioGenesis™ vitamins and minerals is hard to verify right now
I've broken this review up in several sections. First I'll consider alleged difference between Performance Lab multivitamins and minerals and their production process, compared to regular offerings on the market.
Next, I'll talk about how strong the case is for taking a multivitamin and mineral as well as my personal experience taking this product.
In my conclusion, I take the 30,000-foot overview of this topic.
Let's go:
The Alleged Difference Between BioGenesis™ And Regular Multivitamins
The debate between natural and synthetic vitamins and minerals is decades old. I remember that almost 20 years ago, I was exercising intensely and my mom bought me a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement.
The argument back then was that "natural multivitamins" are better than synthetic ones. So she bought the "Solgar" brand that's still around today.
The problem?
Most studies show there's either a very small or no difference between synthetic vitamin C or E and their natural counterparts (1; 2; 3).
That absence of a difference is usually explained by claiming that the chemical structure of Abscrobid Acid (vitamin C) is exactly the same for the natural and synthetic variants.
And that's true.
So the chemical structure of synthetic vitamin E, usually in the alpha-tocopherol form, is the same as its natural counterpart.
But that's just half the story.
The other half?
Whenever you consume vitamin C from food - such as broccoli or orange juice - you're going to ingest many additional compounds besides just vitamin C.
That last point is key...
As a result, the Opti-Nutra™ company introduced a new process called BioGenesis™ (4).
Within that BioGenesis™ process, the goal is to create nutrients for multivitamins and minerals in such a way as to mimic the natural process.
(The BioGenesis™ process has been renamed into "NutriGenesis®" but my bottle uses BioGenesis™ so I'll include that term here.)
Let me explain:
Substances like lactobacillus bulgaricus (yogurt culture), saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast), and other compounds are cultivated in a lab. These substances are given access to nutrients so that they can divide and grow in a natural manner.
The end result is that you don't only end up with nutrients such as B-vitamins or zinc or copper that's isolated, but you also get co-factors that you'd normally find in food. Such co-factors include enzymes, antioxidants, macronutrients, etcetera.
The final outcome, even though the process still takes place in a lab, should thus be more akin to vitamins and minerals you get from food.
Sounds great right?
Let me give an analogy to understand that principle: if you're drinking wine, you're ingesting far more than just alcohol: the grapes contain polyphenols, organic acids, water (that's potentially structured), glycerol, and more.
Hence, thinking of wine as just alcohol would be completely faulty. Many people make the same mistake when equating coffee to just caffeine. Coffee contains hundreds if not thousands of different compounds besides caffeine. Thus, comparing the two is short-sighted.
The same principle applies to vitamins and minerals: if you're taking vitamin C as pure Ascorbic Acid, then you're missing out on the other compounds in broccoli or orange.
So let's consider why you would want to supplement vitamins and minerals in the first place:
Should You Get A Multivitamin Or Mineral At All?
My answer: for most people getting a multivitamin or mineral is a great option.
Because nutritional deficiencies are very widespread. Let's look at a few examples of nutritional deficiencies that are very common:
In the US, 98% of adults don't consume sufficient levels of potassium (5).
50% of people on this planet have insufficiently high vitamin D levels, while 1 billion people have a full-fledged deficiency (6).
About 17% of the world's population is zinc-deficient -- mostly in third world countries though (7).
About 40% of people have a magnesium deficiency while up to 80% have an intake that's insufficient (8). Those levels are especially prevalent in the developed world.
1-5% of people are vitamin B12 deficient, even though the nutrient is easy to ingest from meat (9).
Other deficiencies exist as well, such as choline or folate...
The simple truth? Even though people are more affluent than ever before in history, high-quality food is simply not a priority for most people.
Most people aren't even eating organic food, even though they are going on a holiday twice a year and own two cars. That's a fact.
If you're a person who has reasonable amounts of money to spend but you don't take care of your health as well as you could, a multi could be your solution.
Soil Depletion
Performance Labs also extensively talks about soil depletion as a cause of nutritional deficiencies today.
I second that assessment.
The Scientific American, the most prestigious magazine of popular science around, writes that:
"They studied U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritional data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, finding "reliable declines" in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half century. Davis and his colleagues chalk up this declining nutritional content to the preponderance of agricultural practices designed to improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) other than nutrition." (10).
If you grow foods as quickly as possible and use chemical fertilizer that doesn't add all minerals back to the soil, then over time nutritional deficiencies develop in that soil. Depleted soils lead to nutritionally depleted-produce.
Humans are the same, of course, in that if you eat the same food (such as grains) over and over again without having many other foods in your diet, you're also going to be nutritionally deficient.
The method of growing as much food as possible on as little space as possible without regard to the soil is illusory at best (11).
Visually, it seems like you're getting more bang for your buck but every carrot or broccoli you eat simply has fewer nutrients.
From 1963 to 2000, an average of 10-20% of mineral content seems to be lost (12). Of course, that trend started way before 1963 and lasted longer than 2000 so a 30-50% reduction in vitamin and mineral content is safe to assume.
Conclusion? Even if you're eating healthy foods, you're more at risk of getting nutritional deficiencies. Multi vitamins and minerals may help in that regard.
So let's jump back to the previous topic of Performance Lab Multi for Men:
Ingredients Of Performance Lab Whole-Food Multi For Men
Contrary to my reviews of anti-aging stacks or nootropics, I'm not going to review every single of the 26 ingredients in this particular supplement.
In reviews of Eternus or Mindlab Pro or Awaken Gold, I've regularly dissected the role of every single ingredient in that supplement.
The reason for not doing the same is that all 26 ingredients are common vitamins and minerals.
So here's the ingredient list:
Vitamin A, 1,000 International Units (IU), 20%
Vitamin C, 60 milligrams (mg), 100%
Vitamin D3, 1000 IU, 250%
Vitamin E, 30IU, 100%
Vitamin K1+K2, 100 micrograms, 125%
Vitamin B1, 8 mg, 533%
Vitamin B3, 20 mg, 100%
Vitamin B7, 300 mcg, 100%
Vitamin B12, 50 mcg, 833%
Calcium, 18 mg, 1.8%
Iodine, 150 mcg, 100%
Magnesium, 17 mg, 4.25%
Zinc, 22.5mg, 150%
Selenium, 125 mcg, 179%
Copper, 1.5 mg, 75%
Manganese, 2 mg, 100%
Chromium, 120 mcg, 100%
Molybdenum, 75 mcg, 100%
Strontium, 150 mcg, (no daily value)
Inositol, 25 mg, (no dialy value)
Vanadium, 10 mcg, (no daily value)
Boron, 4 mg, (no daily value)
What do you see when looking at these vitamins and minerals?
There is no "affix" to any of them. In other words, there's no "magnesium oxide" or "magnesium malate" or "magnesium glycinate" but just "magnesium".
Food versions of these minerals are thus fundamentally different than what you'd normally get from supplements.
Hence, Performance Lab can claim that they're offering a superior product.
Unfortunately, as of right now, no (high-quality) studies currently exist proving that Performance Labs' multis are better than generic versions.
Having said that, the account of food versions being superior is plausible though. Only time will tell though whether that account can be scientifically confirmed. For now, I'll give Performance Labs the benefit of the doubt.
But how about the formula?
Let's break that formula down further. Why? Well, different types of minerals and vitamins in different forms have varying biochemical effects:
Breaking Down The Formula
So what do I personally think of the formula?
The formula good, but I'd love to have seen some changes.
I do think the amount of zinc at 150% of Daily Value can be excessive over time. Additionally, less copper is supplied on a relative basis, at only 75% of the Daily Value, so that choice may drive nutritional excesses over time.
I'm of the opinion that nutritional excesses can be as dangerous as nutritional deficiencies in some cases.
Additionally, the levels of supplied magnesium and calcium are far too low, especially when assuming that many people are magnesium deficient.
I know that the limitation to including these nutrients is physical in nature: you'd have to massively increase the capsule count if you'd included appropriate calcium and magnesium doses.
The counterargument is that supplement companies can still produce multis in non-capsule form. A daily sachet with powder can be used instead, for instance.
There's no good excuse in my opinion not to include magnesium and calcium.
An important mineral called "potassium" isn't included.
In Performance Labs' defense, however, high doses of potassium aren't even allowed in supplements because people can overdose on that mineral when it's taken improperly.
It's great to see that the doses of iodine, selenium, manganese, chromium, and molybdenum are all dosed perfectly. B vitamin levels are also perfect.
If possible, I'd like to see the amount of vitamin K2 that's included as opposed to vitamin K1. It's the K2 version that most people lack.
K2 is included of course, but you simply don't know how much right now.
I personally dislike vitamin D3 in a supplement because I get mine from UV light exposure (even in the wintertime in the Netherlands).
I think creating the vitamin through the skin has many additional effects. However, including D3 is not a dealbreaker for me.
Overall jugment?
Very nice results - I'm impressed!
Let's consider a few other things you might need to know:
Other Things You Need To Know
The Performance Lab multi is 100% vegan, free of GMOs, and doesn't contain any toxic fillers. That absence of any fillers is really remarkable and praiseworthy.
Hence, the product is very nice to use if you're a vegetarian and vegan, for instance, and cannot get all your nutrients from your diet.
Gluten and soy aren't included either, nor are most common allergens.
How about the price?
Right now, a one-month supply costs $39. If you buy in bulk, the price point will come down to about $30 per month.
Overall, prices are not that high. Of course, the question of whether these prices can be justified wholly depends on whether studies show the superiority of the vitamins and minerals in Performance Lab Multi for Men.
Overall, the value offered by Performance Labs is very good in my opinion.
Performance Lab Women's Multi
Just like the male version, Performance lab also offers a women's multi. The formulation of that product is slightly different and geared towards, well, female health.
Folate levels provided are double of the men's multi, there's slightly more calcium in the female version (although in absolute numbers it's still negligible, 4 times the amount of iron is provided, there's a bit more magnesium and less zinc (which is good), and potassium provided is half.
Most of these choices are justifiable except for the higher iron levels. In postmenopausal women, higher iron intakes might lead to health problems down the road because the monthly cycle no longer removes iron from the equation. Additionally, I don't think supplemental iron should ever be used and I think the situation is more complex than simply adding more iron to the mix.
That account lies beyond the scope of the argument in this work, however.
Overall, the female version, despite me not actively testing it, is very good.
So let's, lastly, jump to my experience taking this supplement:
My Experience Taking Whole-Multi For Men
I have to be honest here, I don't experience much if anything when taking some supplements.
One example of a supplement I don't notice taking is Neurohacker's Eternus anti-aging stack, for instance.
I'm generally eating a very high-quality diet so I should be getting most of my nutrients every single day. Hence, I simply won't feel adding more nutrients if I don't have any (or few) existing nutritional deficiencies.
The same was the case when I was taking the Multi for Men from Performance Labs.
I will say, however, that if you're eating a low-quality diet then consuming this multi might lead to experiencing (consciously available) benefits.
And that's it...
My view of this product.
So let's conclude:
Finishing Thoughts: Bring On The Evolution Of Multi-Vitamins and Minerals
Whether Performance Lab Multi for Men is superior to other multivitamins remains to be seen.
I'd like to see some independent research with improved outcomes compared to regular multivitamins (such as those of Thorne or Life Extension) before drawing a conclusion.
Such studies can be expensive, however. Thus, some more limited in-house studies with 20 participants where their nutritional status is extensively tested might be more affordable.
Having said that, I do love the creativity and forward-looking approach of Performance Lab. All of their ingredients are of high-quality, the formulation shows that a lot of thought went into it, and overall quality control (such as no GMO or fillers) is excellent.
Do I recommend this multi for men?
Not yet fully...
As difficult as it sounds, I'd like to see more data first before recommending this product to others. Why? I cannot -- with good conscience -- recommend others spend their hard-earned cash on a product that doesn't have supporting clinical studies yet.
Another solution?

Vandalism is a costly crime. The National Bureau of Justice reports that in the year 2000, vandalism accounted for $1.6 billion in damage to households alone. Those who are left to clean up the aftermath and deal with the trauma of property damage often are left wondering why their property became a target.
With a little insight into the psychology of vandalism — where it's most likely to occur and why — building service contractors can help their customers both prevent property damage and recover quickly when it does occur.
Vandalism tends to be a crime mainly committed by juveniles. Dr. Jeffery Chase, a license clinical psychologist and psychology professor at Radford University in Radford, Va., says many times people, especially children and adolescents, will use vandalism to vent.
Chris Mitchell, owner and president of a Servpro franchise in Salt Lake City, specializes in vandalism clean-up and restoration. He has worked with everything from kids spray-painting walls, to thousands of dollars of property damage.
"Not too long ago, we had a … situation where the previous tenants had a had a husband/wife dispute. We cleaned up broken windows and a lot of paint," he says.
Group graffiti While individuals tend to vandalize out of anger, groups generally do so for social reasons.
"There is that socialization quality of trying to fit in, be involved in the gang, and be accepted," Chase says.
A lot of graffiti starts out as an introduction to gang activity, he explains. Most graffiti starts out small, and as vandals become better at creating graffiti, they will use a lot of space for their work and start networking with other graffiti artists. When that happens, vandals may start to compete with each other.
"[There is a lot of] one-upsmanship in artistic forms, where one person does his best work, and someone else comes along and does something else over it," Chase says.
Barry Woods, president of Graffiti Control Systems in North Hollywood, Calif., says that the majority of his business is cleaning up repeated instances of "tagging" — defacing surfaces repeatedly with an identifiable mark unique to each vandal or gang.
Taggers are selective about the buildings they hit, Woods says. Older, unkempt buildings are usually prime targets.
"Two- and three-story buildings that are over 80 years old and not part of a business district — those are the ones likely to get hit," he says. Usually, buildings in business districts are tough targets for taggers because they are in highly visible areas.
"It's hard to hit a major building with a lot of people coming and going," he adds.
Graffiti clean-up does not come without dangers. Woods says his crews have had their own vans tagged even stolen; crews have been held at gunpoint.
Responding quickly to graffiti is a key element of prevention. Quick and consistent clean-up often deters vandals from returning.
"The faster we get it off and the better job we do, the less likely it is to come back," he says.
The psychological reason for this reduction is because of a shift in the vandals' environment, Chase suggests.
A clean, graffiti-free building sends the message that vandalism is not appropriate in this environment, and people are much more likely to behave according to that message, Chase says.
Woods has gotten so good at immediate response that he's had some of his contracts reduced. In many BSC jobs, that's seen as a sign of poor performance, but in graffiti removal, that's the ultimate goal.
Immediate response to graffiti may reduce repeated occurrences, but immediate response, in Woods' case, tends to benefit the community as well. In fact, Woods says he receives comments and compliments from the community on a regular basis.

Chicago Teacher Pensions Exacerbate City's Property Tax Hikes
Home → Illinois → Chicago Teacher Pensions Exacerbate City's Property Tax Hikes
View as PDF CHICAGO—Taxpayers United of America (TUA) today released the results of its study of the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund (CTPF). The study evaluates data collected for more than 25,000 individual pension recipients through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, analyzes the overall solvency of the pension fund, and explains how these findings relate to property tax increases for Chicago taxpayers.
"The Illinois General Assembly passed a stopgap budget that threatens to raise the state's income tax by 30% come this winter," said TUA Executive Director, Jared Labell. "That budget included opening the door for an additional $250 million property tax hike for Chicagoans, just to help reduce Chicago Public Schools' budget shortfalls and pension liabilities, although it does nothing to solve the fundamental problem. And don't forget the historic $588 million property tax increase passed by the Chicago City Council last year. Taxpayers should be alarmed by the vast sums of money flowing to retired government employees, rather than paying for current needs or services, but that's due to decades of mismanagement by politicians and the unreasonable demands of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU)."
According to the CTPF's most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ending June 30, 2015, the unfunded liabilities grew for three reasons during the past twenty years: contribution shortfalls (50%), plan changes and experience (35%), and investment shortfalls (15%). There were 28,114 beneficiaries collecting CTPF pensions, totaling $1.3 billion in pension payments last year. The number of retirees have also increased by nearly one-third in the past decade. There are 29,706 active members currently contributing to the fund, which includes teachers, administrators, certified officials, and other CTPF staff. The average annual salary for an active member in 2015 was $72,565.
"The pension fund's own analysis states that in the past decade, the number of retired and vested members now exceed active contributors. Government pension payments to CTPF beneficiaries have increased 77% in the last ten years, jumping from $751 million in 2006 to $1.3 billion in 2015. During that same period of time, the total annual return on investments swung as low as -22% in 2009 and as high as 24.8% in 2011," said Labell.
"But even with annualized return rates of 6.6% during the past ten years, the CTPF funded ratio still remains at an abysmal 51.8%, which represents a net pension liability of more than $10 billion, having increased by a half-billion dollars since the previous year," said Labell. "These pensions are unsustainable. To fully fund these pensions, the Chicago City Council would have to drastically raise property taxes, far beyond the historic increases they have already approved, however, bankrupting taxpayers and driving property owners out of Chicago is no solution to this financial mess."
The average retirement age for these former government employees was 61, based on the data TUA obtained through FOIA requests for this study. The average annual pension was $51,454 for these government retirees, whereas the median household income for Chicagoans is $47,831. Perhaps shocking to taxpayers, but 974 of these pensioners collect more than $100,000 annually and 14,420 beneficiaries collect more than $50,000 annually.
"The government pension system is incapable of remaining afloat without massive influxes of tax dollars. Taxpayers should not be expected to foot this bill without serious and systemic reforms to prevent future catastrophic financial conditions arising from this fiasco," said Labell.
Former Schools Superintendent Manford Byrd tops our list for the highest current annual pension of $190,634. He paid $126,561 into the pension fund while employed, and he will collect a lifetime pension payout of more than $2.5 million, having only contributed a mere 5% to his estimated lifetime pension payout.
Former executive director of CTPF, Kevin Huber, is currently receiving an annual pension of $91,541. His estimated lifetime pension payout tops our study, totaling more than $6.1 million. He paid $235,332 into the pension fund, contributing only 4% to his estimated lifetime pension payout.
Former Deputy Schools Superintendent Robert Saddler retired in 1993 at the age of 59. His current annual pension is $169,225 and he has already collected $2,175,932 in retirement. While employed, he contributed $108,335 to his pension, which is roughly $61,000 less than his current annual pension, so he will have only contributed about 4% to his estimated lifetime pension payout.

"Taxpayers are understandably shocked by the first round of tax hikes appearing on their property tax bills this summer," said Labell. "Unfortunately, those property tax bills will grow exponentially worse if no action is taken."
"According to the Cook County Clerk's office, the average 2015 Chicago property tax bill rose by 12.8% to $3,633.19, which is more than a $400 increase from the previous year. Last year's historic property tax hike will be implemented over the next four years, so Chicagoans haven't even begun to feel the worst of it. Combine those scheduled increases with other proposed property tax hikes for teacher pensions and other city employees, and the result is a toxic blend of bad news for Chicago's finances and taxpayers," said Labell.
"Now is the time for taxpayers to talk to their neighbors, their elected officials, and other property owners. Taxpayers must demand accountability from CPS, CTU, the Chicago City Council, and Mayor Emanuel. If we do not act now, taxpayers risk being taxed out of their homes to prop up the city's insolvent teachers' pension fund."

The perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) are a class of fluids that are likely used as lubricants for space mechanisms. It is reported that their performance in the presence of tribological conditions and in the presence of various catalytic materials has caused serious deficiencies. In many cases, the PFPE fluids were extensively degraded and caused severe corrosion problems on metal surfaces.
One explanation for the observed degradation is that the friction process removes the protective native oxide from the metal surface and allows the fluid to contact the atomically clean steel. A degradation reaction leads to cracking of the organic PFPE and formation of metal fluorides. These fluorides, in turn, attack the PFPE fluid much faster than does the clean metal itself.
Do chemical reactions stop immediately after the tribological test is stopped, or is the process autocatalytic going on?
Can a correlation in the residual gas analysis and the quality of the tribological contact be found?
