Answer From Brett:
Hey Simon
I have looked at the RiteStart Men supplement for you.
As with so many supplements I'm asked to take a look at I'm going to begin my answer by saying - WOW - Look At The PRICE!
The grossly overinflated prices that supplement manufacturers and companies are charging these days for 'so-called' elite supplements is just ridiculous.
The reasons for this are covered in depth throughout nutritional-supplement-truths.com
The title on the product page immediately caught my attention because they say "Exclusive Anti-Aging Pack..."
Legally they can make this claim because they have included antioxidants to tackle free radical production and this of course is one of the components of anti- aging.
BUT....
To achieve real and significant anti-aging benefits that are capable of slowing down the aging process and bringing it back closer in tune with what nature originally intended, you must address the task from more than just the Free Radical Approach!
Slowing down the aging process is a complex and multi-faceted task!
There are four key primary components of aging that must be targeted and since these are all interdependent on one another it is crucial that the right specialized ingredients are there to tackle them ALL!
These 'aging' components are:
- Free Radicals
- Glycation
- Methylation
- Inflammation
Ritestart does nothing to address glycation, methylation and almost nothing for inflammation!
To learn more about these aging components and which ingredients are needed to address them please visit my hubpage how effective are those super supplements
Next, a man should NOT be taking 10mgs of iron (a pro oxidant!) a day as they propose!
They say the Vitamin C forms they are using is exclusive to them... sorry but that’s nonsense (and gives a good idea of the type of company we are dealing with here).
There are no amino acids in the formula. They are important ingredients in their own right and after following the link above you'll see the importance of some of them to the anti-aging equation.
The proprietary blends in this formula are nonsense. Proprietary blends annoy me no end!
If they were using good proportions of the right ingredients they would not be reluctant to reveal it!
Simon, it is not possible for a consumer to do a fair comparison because the RiteStart manufacturers don’t reveal the individual ingredient amounts and this is vitally important when it comes to making comparisons and evaluating the effectiveness and value for money of a nutritional health supplement.
RiteStart simply does not have many of the really potent ingredients. (see the super supplement article above for a list of these) and if you start digging down into the dose amounts of the few that they do have they appear small (judging from the totals of the various proprietary Blends!)

Their "Men's Health Blend" is weak! Read this page to see why: mens health supplements
Simon- overall RiteStart is not in the same category as the unique nutritional health supplement I use Total Balance Mens Plus
You might like to read my in-depth review of Total Balance as this will give you a good idea of what to look for in mens health supplements.
I hope this helps
Good Health Always!
