What do you guys think of this vitamin/mineral supplement?
Accel 
It’s a decent product, but like most v/m supplements of this nature, it’s got small amounts of lots of things. For example, it’s got .192gm lysine - that’s half a drop in a large bucket, in the context of the average horse needing 30gm a day. 11mg copper is pretty useless as well. It’s a better vitamin supplement than mineral/amino acid.
Is it better than nothing? Yes.
Is it good enough for what you need? That entirely depends on the rest of the diet.
Thank you for responding. I have used it in the past to “top off” a minimum grain portion.
Has added iron, so I wouldn’t touch it with a 10’ pole for my guys…I use MVP’s Mega Cell (grass hay based diets). No added iron, reasonably priced. I do add extra vitamin E because Mega Cell is made with the synthetic E. Also, free shipping if you order direct from MVP (I order it in 50 lb bags).

The 113mg added iron in that doesn’t bother me at all - that’s tiny in relation to how much is already being fed.
that said, if it’s a goal to avoid all added iron, then not only are there some decent to good v/m supps without it, you’d want to not feed almost any commercial feed out there.
In other words, for most horses, the iron here is not remotely a big deal.
Mega Cell is a much better-rounded supp than Accel.
