NeoLife Formula IV Plus — Daily Multivitamin & Mineral Support — 30 and 60 Sachets

What is NeoLife Formula IV Plus?

NeoLife Formula IV Plus is an iron-free multivitamin and mineral food supplement supplied in single-serving daily sachets. One sachet delivers 22 declared vitamins and minerals alongside 675 mg of TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates, lecithin, malt diastase, rose hips, yeast and soya protein, for people who want broad daily nutritional support without added iron.

NeoLife describes the iron-free positioning as “Iron Free, for those who already obtain sufficient iron in their diet.”

It sits in the daily multivitamins category as a foundation supplement — one sachet a day, taken with a meal, alongside food rather than in place of it.

Recs-Medix Natural Solutions has been an authorised distributor of the NeoLife brand in Nigeria since 2017. Every pack carries NAFDAC Registration Number A7-1153 and ships from Lagos to Nigeria and to the USA, UK, Canada, Europe and Australia. The full range is on the NeoLife brand page.

What type of supplement is Formula IV Plus?

Formula IV Plus is a four-factor multivitamin and multimineral food supplement. Each serving combines vitamins, minerals, selected enzymes, lipids and sterols rather than supplying vitamins and minerals alone.

Its 22 declared vitamins and minerals are joined by TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates, lecithin, malt diastase, rose hips, yeast and soya protein. NeoLife describes TRE-EN-EN as “an exclusive blend of whole grain lipid and sterol extracts from wheat, rice and soya.”

Rice bran oil 300 mg, soya bean oil 225 mg and wheat germ oil 150 mg provide 675 mg of TRE-EN-EN per sachet (calculated).

This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

What does Formula IV Plus do in the body?

The nutrients in Formula IV Plus feed into everyday processes that keep energy, immunity, the nervous system and cell protection working normally. Eighteen of the twenty-two declared vitamins and minerals reach 15% or more of the EU and GB Nutrient Reference Value per sachet, which is the level at which each of the following statements applies.

• Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, copper, iodine and manganese all contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid and vitamin C all contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, copper, selenium and zinc all contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
• Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, copper and iodine all contribute to the normal function of the nervous system.
• Riboflavin, vitamin C, vitamin E, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc all contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels, and increases iron absorption from the food you eat.
• Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus and to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function.
• Chromium and zinc contribute to normal macronutrient metabolism; molybdenum contributes to normal sulphur amino acid metabolism.
• Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and to normal thyroid function; selenium contributes to normal thyroid function.

On the lipid and sterol side, NeoLife states that TRE-EN-EN “works in synergy with the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in Formula IV and has been scientifically formulated to support efficient utilisation of nutrients.”

These statements have not been evaluated by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

What are the key benefits of NeoLife Formula IV Plus?

Formula IV Plus is bought for one central reason: broad daily nutritional cover from a single sachet, without iron. NeoLife’s own summary for its UK and European market is “broad spectrum of nutrients to support your diet in an iron-free formula.” The specific benefits below follow from the amounts declared per sachet.

• Supports normal energy-yielding metabolism through ten declared nutrients working together.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue through seven declared nutrients.
• Supports normal immune system function through vitamins A, C, D, B6, B12, folate, copper, selenium and zinc.
• Helps protect cells from oxidative stress through vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc.
• Supports normal nervous system function and normal psychological function.
• Contributes to normal skin, hair, nail and vision maintenance through vitamin A, riboflavin, zinc and selenium.
• Supplies chromium, selenium and molybdenum, the trace minerals NeoLife names as being “stripped away” by food processing.
• Delivers 675 mg of TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates per sachet from wheat germ, rice bran and soya (calculated from the declared oils).
• Comes in sealed single-day sachets, one sachet being the complete daily serving.

What are the key ingredients in Formula IV Plus?

Each sachet declares twenty-two vitamins and minerals plus eight further ingredients. The groups below explain what each one is and what role it plays, using the amounts declared for a single sachet. One sachet is the full daily serving, so every figure here is also the daily amount.

Vitamin A — 5000 IU

Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, normal skin and mucous membranes, normal iron metabolism and normal immune function. 5000 IU is equivalent to 1,500 µg retinol equivalents (calculated). That figure matters when you plan your total daily vitamin A intake across every supplement you take.

The B vitamins

Seven B vitamins are declared: thiamine (B1) 10 mg, riboflavin (B2) 10 mg, niacinamide 25 mg, vitamin B6 10 mg, folic acid 100 µg, vitamin B12 10 µg and pantothenic acid 15 mg. Biotin is not among them. Folate and vitamin B12 also contribute to normal red blood cell formation and normal homocysteine metabolism.

Vitamin C — 150 mg

The distinctive role at this amount is collagen: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums, teeth and blood vessels. It also increases the absorption of iron from food, which is a useful pairing in an iron-free formula.

Vitamin D — 200 IU

Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function. 200 IU is equivalent to 5 µg (calculated), which is 100% of the EU and GB Nutrient Reference Value.

Vitamin E — 30 IU

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, working alongside vitamin C, which contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.

Zinc, copper and manganese

Zinc 15 mg, copper 2 mg and manganese 4 mg are declared. Zinc contributes to normal immune function, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal protein synthesis, normal fertility and reproduction, and the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails and bones. Copper contributes to normal immune function, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal connective tissue maintenance, normal iron transport and normal hair and skin pigmentation. Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and normal connective tissue formation.

Iodine, selenium, molybdenum and chromium

Iodine 100 µg contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and to normal thyroid function, and also contributes to normal cognitive function. Selenium 40 µg contributes to normal thyroid function, the maintenance of normal hair and nails, and normal spermatogenesis. Molybdenum 30 µg contributes to normal sulphur amino acid metabolism, and chromium 20 µg contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium

Calcium 25 mg, magnesium 30 mg, phosphorus 20 mg and potassium 10 mg are declared, all four in small supporting amounts below the level at which an EU or GB nutrition claim applies.

TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates — 675 mg

Rice bran oil 300 mg, soya bean oil 225 mg and wheat germ oil 150 mg together make up the 675 mg TRE-EN-EN serving (calculated). NeoLife’s published description is that TRE-EN-EN is “derived by special methods of extraction from the whole wheat berry, as well as from rice bran and soya oil” and “provides everything naturally occurring in the lipid portion of the grain.” Formula IV Plus carries 50% more TRE-EN-EN than the original Formula IV.

Lecithin — 25 mg

Lecithin is a phospholipid ingredient widely used in foods and supplements, at 25 mg per sachet.

Malt diastase — 40 mg

Malt diastase is the enzyme ingredient declared in this formulation, at 40 mg per sachet. NeoLife describes the enzyme component of Formula IV Plus as a “Phyto Enzyme Blend” of “exclusive plant-sourced enzymes” that “support easy digestion and absorption of supplemented nutrients.”

Rose hips — 50 mg

Rose hips are the fruit of the rose plant, included at 50 mg per sachet as a traditional plant ingredient in vitamin C formulations.

Yeast and soya protein

Yeast 25 mg and soya protein 25 mg are declared. Soya is a declared allergen in this product, and yeast is relevant to anyone who avoids it.

Vitamin E is declared in International Units. Follow the figure printed on your own pack. Nutrient Reference Values are the EU and GB reference amounts used on food supplement labels; they are a labelling reference, not a personal target.

Contains soya. Wheat germ oil, malt diastase and yeast are also declared.

How do you take NeoLife Formula IV Plus?

NeoLife’s direction is to take the contents of one sachet daily with a meal. One sachet is the complete daily serving, so a 30-sachet pack covers one month of daily use and a 60-sachet pack covers two months (calculated). Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose.

Taking it with food suits this formula, because vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluble and are absorbed alongside dietary fat. Pick the meal you eat most consistently and keep to it, because a daily multivitamin depends on daily use.

Open the sachet at the meal and take the full contents. Each day’s supply is hermetically sealed, so a sachet travels in a pocket, a bag or a briefcase without repackaging.

How do you get the best results from a daily multivitamin?

Daily consistency matters more than anything else you can control with a multivitamin. Nutrient status changes gradually, so the useful measure is how many days out of thirty you actually took a sachet, not how any single day went. Everything below is aimed at protecting that streak.

• Attach the sachet to a fixed meal rather than a fixed clock time, so the habit survives a changed schedule.
• Keep the pack where that meal happens — a kitchen shelf or a desk drawer, below 25 °C and away from light.
• Keep the diet varied. Vitamin C in the formula increases iron absorption from the meals you eat it with.
• Review your full supplement stack before adding anything else, so you do not take two products carrying the same vitamins.
• If you want the grain lipids and sterols on their own rather than inside a multivitamin, Tre-en-en 60 Capsules is the standalone version.

Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.

Who is Formula IV Plus suitable for?

Formula IV Plus suits people who want one broad daily supplement instead of several single-nutrient products, and who specifically do not want iron in it. The sachet format also suits anyone who travels, shares a household supplement cupboard, or would rather not count out multiple tablets each morning.

• People who already obtain sufficient iron from their diet, which is the group NeoLife names for this formulation.
• Adults with long working days who want support for normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Adults whose diets lean on processed staples and who want broader vitamin and mineral cover.
• Frequent travellers and commuters who need a supplement that packs flat and stays sealed.
• Long-standing NeoLife customers restocking a product they already use.

Who should avoid Formula IV Plus or check with a doctor first?

Vitamin A and vitamin B6 both have published daily intake ceilings, and one sachet supplies a substantial share of each. The practical consequence is about stacking: what matters is your total across every supplement you take in a day, not the amount in a single sachet.

• Pregnancy and planning a pregnancy. NHS guidance is not to take supplements containing vitamin A during pregnancy, because too much vitamin A can harm a baby’s development. Formula IV Plus supplies 5000 IU of vitamin A per sachet. Speak to your doctor or midwife before taking it, and see the NHS page on pregnancy vitamins and supplements.
• Breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or midwife before starting any multivitamin while breastfeeding.
• Total daily vitamin A. NHS guidance is that daily vitamin A from food and supplements combined should not exceed 1.5 mg (1,500 µg), and that people who eat liver every week should not take supplements containing vitamin A. One sachet supplies 1,500 µg RE (calculated), so do not take a second vitamin A supplement, cod liver oil or fish liver oil alongside it. Full detail is on the NHS vitamin A page.
• Total daily vitamin B6. EFSA set a tolerable upper intake level of 12 mg of vitamin B6 a day for adults in 2023. One sachet supplies 10 mg, so do not take a second B-complex, an energy formula or any other B6-containing supplement alongside it without medical advice. The opinion is published in the EFSA Journal.
• Children and teenagers. The same EFSA opinion sets the vitamin B6 upper level at 3.2–4.5 mg a day for ages 1–6 and 6.1–10.7 mg a day for ages 7–17. One sachet supplies 10 mg. Do not give this product to a child or a teenager without medical advice, and keep it out of reach of children.
• Do not double up on multivitamins. Taking Formula IV Plus with a second multivitamin, or with separate zinc, copper, selenium or vitamin A products, can push several nutrients above their upper intake levels at once.
• Adults over 50, and women who have been through the menopause. NHS guidance flags that long-term high vitamin A intake may affect bone strength, which matters most for this group. Discuss long-term use of a vitamin A-containing multivitamin with your doctor.
• Thyroid conditions. Each sachet supplies 100 µg iodine and 40 µg selenium. If you are being treated for a thyroid condition, check with your doctor before starting.
• Prescription medication. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, particularly if you take any long-term medicine.
• Known allergies. Formula IV Plus contains soya, and wheat germ oil, malt diastase and yeast are also declared.

If you develop any symptom you associate with the product, stop taking it and speak to a qualified healthcare professional.

What allergens does Formula IV Plus contain?

Formula IV Plus contains soya. NeoLife declares soya protein 25 mg and soya bean oil 225 mg per sachet, and states on its product documentation that the product contains soya. Anyone with a soya allergy or intolerance should not take it.

Wheat germ oil 150 mg is also declared. Anyone avoiding wheat, or managing coeliac disease or a gluten sensitivity, should speak to their doctor or dietitian before taking this product. Malt diastase and yeast are declared as well, which matters to anyone who avoids yeast or has been advised to.

If you have a question about a specific ingredient, contact us and we can check the available product information for you before you order.

What does Formula IV Plus not do?

It is a food supplement, and the boundaries below are the ones that matter before you order: it is not a medicine, it carries no disease claim, it contains no iron, and it has published intake ceilings that a second supplement can take you past.

It is not a medicine and it does not replace prescription medication. Do not stop or change any prescribed treatment because you have started a supplement.

It does not treat, cure or prevent any named disease.

It does not contain iron. Anyone who has been advised they need additional iron will need a separate product, and that decision belongs with a doctor.

It does not come without intake limits. Vitamin A at 5000 IU and vitamin B6 at 10 mg per sachet both have published daily ceilings, and taking a second supplement carrying either nutrient can take you past them.

It is not a substitute for a balanced diet. Food supplements must not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

How should you store Formula IV Plus?

Store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C and protect from light. Keep out of reach of children. Check the expiry date before you start a new box, and keep unused sachets in their original box so the printed batch and expiry details stay with them.

Avoid a bathroom shelf, a windowsill or the top of a fridge. Each sachet is individually sealed, so an opened box stores no differently from an unopened one.

What will you receive, and how do you check the pack is genuine?

You receive one sealed NeoLife box in your chosen pack size: 30 sachets or 60 sachets. The box is white with a green NeoLife panel, a photograph of wheat, soya beans and grain oil on the front, and “Formula IV Plus” printed in green across the face.

Check these details on the pack you receive:

• The front reads “Nutritional support at the cellular level with TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates” and “Iron free”, with the pack size printed at the lower right.
• The SAB seal of the NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board appears on the front and again on the back panel.
• The back panel carries the full nutrition table and the MADE FOR block naming NeoLife International Ltd, Lagos, Nigeria, by Natural Formulas, 2125 American Ave., Hayward, CA, U.S.A.
• NAFDAC Regn. No. A7-1153 is printed on the back panel.
• Lot number, manufacture date and expiry date are printed on one end panel.

Every pack is sourced through authorised supply. Recs-Medix does not sell opened, repackaged or grey-market stock.

Frequently asked questions

What is Formula IV Plus used for?

Formula IV Plus is used as a daily iron-free multivitamin and mineral supplement. Its declared nutrients support normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal immune function, normal nervous system function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is taken as one sachet a day with a meal.

What are the benefits of taking NeoLife Formula IV Plus?

The benefit is breadth: 22 vitamins and minerals plus 675 mg of TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates in one daily sachet, eighteen of them at or above 15% of the EU and GB Nutrient Reference Value. That breadth is what supports the energy, immune, nervous system and antioxidant statements on this page.

How long does it take for a multivitamin to start working?

Nutrient levels change gradually rather than overnight, and no timeframe is published for this product. What is known is the pack arithmetic: one sachet a day means a 30-sachet pack is one month of use and a 60-sachet pack is two months. Results vary between individuals.

What are the side effects of NeoLife Formula IV Plus?

The safety points that matter with this formula are intake ceilings and allergens. One sachet supplies 5000 IU of vitamin A and 10 mg of vitamin B6, so it should not be taken alongside another vitamin A or B6 supplement without medical advice, and it should be avoided in pregnancy. It contains soya. If you feel unwell after taking any supplement, stop and speak to a healthcare professional.

What is the difference between Formula IV and Formula IV Plus?

Formula IV Plus is the iron-free version, and it carries 50% more TRE-EN-EN Grain Concentrates than Formula IV. It also adds the trace minerals selenium, chromium and molybdenum. Formula IV Plus is the version to choose if you already get enough iron from your diet.

How much does Formula IV Plus cost, and which pack size should I choose?

The current price for each pack size shows above, on the pack size selector: choose 30 Sachets or 60 Sachets and the price updates before you add to basket. Both packs contain the same formula and the same single-sachet daily serving. The 30-sachet pack is one month, which suits a first order; the 60-sachet pack is two months in one order, with no gap while a repeat order is in transit.

Can I take Formula IV Plus every day?

Yes — it is designed as a once-daily supplement, taken as the contents of one sachet with a meal. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. If you take it for extended periods, and particularly if you are over 50, discuss long-term use of a vitamin A-containing multivitamin with your doctor.

Is Formula IV Plus safe during pregnancy?

NHS guidance is not to take supplements containing vitamin A while pregnant, and this product supplies 5000 IU of vitamin A per sachet. Speak to your doctor or midwife before taking it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy.

Does Formula IV Plus contain iron?

No. Iron is deliberately left out. NeoLife states: “Iron Free, for those who already obtain sufficient iron in their diet.” If you have been advised that you need extra iron, that is a conversation for your doctor rather than a multivitamin choice.

Is Formula IV Plus NAFDAC registered?

Yes. NAFDAC Registration Number A7-1153 is printed on the back panel of the pack. The pack also carries the SAB seal of the NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board and the MADE FOR block naming NeoLife International Ltd, Lagos, Nigeria.
