Who should use XFactor Plus
XFactor Plus is recommended for both men and women interested in improving their overall health and wellness by filling their “nutrient gap” with a high quality, highly bioavailable, complete multivitamin that also provided additional benefits to your gut.◊ *
For those who already eat healthy, why XFactor?
Although many of us eat healthy everyday more than 1/3 of us do not get enough essential nutrients through diet alone and could benefit from supplementation for better health. For example:
- You would need to eat 40 large bananas alone to get the same amount of Vitamin B6 as in XFactor Plus,
- XFactor Plus delivers the highest quality ingredients in their most bioactive and bioavailable forms, and
- these ingredients provide 100% recommended daily allowance of 19 nutrients and contain naturally occurring trace minerals.

Ingredient FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions about specific ingredients related to XFactor Plus.
| Ingredient | Question | Answer |
| Iron | Why is it not included? | Men and women over 50 typically do not require supplemental iron, so we have not included it in XFactor Plus. While Iron is an essential mineral, it is found in many animal and plant food sources. Additionally, too much iron can cause toxicity and health complications. If you think you aren’t getting enough Iron, or are getting too much Iron, please consult your doctor. |
| Bioactive & bioavailable Ingredients | What is their advantage? | A bioactive ingredient is in an active form that the body can easily use, while a bioavailable ingredient relates to how well it can be absorbed and transported in the body. XFactor Plus uses these higher bioactive ingredients and that’s why XFactor Plus delivers exceptional health benefits.* |
| Calcium L-Methylfolate | Why use this instead of folic acid? | Up to 39% of the population cannot utilize Folic Acid efficiently. XFactor Plus is formulated with the most bioactive form that everyone can utilize. |
| B Vitamins | Why do they turn urine yellow? |
B Vitamins, especially B2 (Riboflavin), are the primary reasons for seeing yellow urine after taking a high quality, complete multivitamin.

New Enhanced Formula of XFactor Plus
XFactor Plus has a new enhanced formula. At Plexus, we aim to provide the highest-quality products with powerful key ingredients in the most efficacious amounts.
Why there was a change: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration required updates to ALL Food, Beverage, and Supplement Facts Panels based on updated scientific information, and new nutrition and public health research.
What has changed: We adjusted the level of nutrients in XFactor Plus to align with the updated Daily Value Percent recommendation. It is still the product you know and love, but with updated nutrient amounts. The enhanced formula still delivers 100% or more of the Daily Value of 19 essential vitamins and minerals, including all 8 essential B Vitamins, naturally occurring trace minerals, and our proprietary Microbiome Activating Complex, and now it has more Aloe Vera.
Reason for Addition of Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera is a superfood that contains antioxidants and polyphenols. The Aloe Vera in XFactor Plus comes from the inner leaf fillet. This source contains bioactive polysaccharides, called Acemannan, which help enhance the absorption of certain micronutrients.
Clinical Study for XFactor Plus
A clinical study was done on XFactor Plus. We wanted to see what it can really do, so we put it through rigorous, testing procedures.
In a highly advanced, preliminary in vitro study created to mimic the human gastrointestinal system, XFactor Plus’ powerful Microbiome Activating Complex was tested, which produced astounding results. The research found:
- Reduced production of undesirable compounds in the gut◊ *
- Reduced ammonium levels in the gut up to 18%◊ *
- Increased beneficial Lactobacillus up to 15x◊ *
- Increased beneficial Akkermansia up to 9x◊ *
- Increased beneficial Bifidobacterium up to 2x◊ *
◊The results of an in vitro human gut simulator study suggest that the polyphenol blend in XFactor Plus may have several beneficial effects. Further research, including research conducted in humans, is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.
