I was looking for a good vitamin since I just turned 60 and this is great. Most vitamins leave me with increased hunger but this did not.
My coworker recommended it and it's really Good. A Great supplement, I'm not so tired like I was before taking them.
This was the right choice for me
I have been taking this vitamin for awhile now and feel a lot better, but taking it whole seemed to get me very sleepy. I was watching Dr Oz one day, and he said not too take a large vitamin whole because it will overwhelm your body. Instead, cut it in half and take half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. I now do that, and it has made quite a difference.
they have changed the formula...several times from original. Now that gave me strength, energy and overall feeling of well-being. Then I grabbed a box automatically only to discover they had added Kava Kava, St. John's Wort and Valerian Root..all a no-no with my meds. Wish I could remember name of that one, but last time I sent my daughter-in-law to grab me one, reading labels carefully, I was shocked to see RDA on all listed was only 100% versus the souped up ones with 1,000-2000+ RDA.
PRO:Get some fruits/veggies nutrients (esp if not big eater)
The higher RDA (esp. Vit B's) are the best in my opinion and work for me.
CONS: They keep changing what/how much of a substance is in them.
Need to put on front of box if they contain above mentioned herbs.
Thought I would try a new multi for more energy and to feel better overall, though I didn't have high hopes... I was very surprised when after my first one of these, I felt a MAJOR difference in my energy level. So, I compared the ingredients in this multi with my former one. This vitamin contains twice as much B12! Looked up B12 online and, sure enough, blood levels affect energy level AND the nervous system. My anxiety has decreased substantially, by the way. We are all different and our bodies need different things to facilitate good health. Exercise, healthy food and water and a great multi are absolutely KEY for me. This multi is phenomenal for MY needs!
My doctor told me I needed to start taking a multi-VITAMIN. I really love the commercials on TV for this product. I wanted to feel more ALIVE! It's a good choice for a once-a-day multi-vitamin. It doesn't have any of the bad allergens for me which include SOY, CORN and Almonds. It doesn't make me feel shaky like some supplements can do. Give it a try! Great price/value.

These are the only vitamins I can take that don't make me sick.
Like that these tablets pack a huge nutritional wallop when compared to the "women's 50+" formula I've taken for years. Hope to feel the benefit of those extra B-vitamins soon. More expensive than my previous multivitamin, but that seems fair.
The ONLY downside is the classic nasty "vitamin" flavor, which my other powder-coated caplet manages to mask completely. Would deduct only half a star for this if I could, but aesthetically, it prevents me from going all-in on those five stars.
After reading too many reviews, I almost canceled the order. It was already shipped and delivered in one day, so I decided to see the vitamins for myself. As for me, the size is OK and the tablet was very easy to swallow with the vegetable soup (but you can have it with a water, coffee, wine, etc. - your choice). I showed the tablets to my coworkers and both of them said that they will not be able to swallow this size, so if you that type of person, then do not buy these particular vitamins. Some reviewers complained about a smell. I sniffed the tablets myself, my coworkers sniffed them and then the dog. No one complained. There is very, very, really very light smell and even then it's a pleasant one and does not "stick". It's already two hours passed after I took a pill and I am still Alive! and do not have any pain in the stomach area or headache; the pulse and breezing are normal. I checked the label regarding two Ingrediences that troubled some reviewers: 1. Vitamin E - on the box it is listed as d-alpha tocopheryl succinate; according to my fellow reviewer this is a good type (the bad type will be dL-tocopherols). So it passed the test. 2. Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) - some reviewer referred to this as bad sign. I found the article where it was confirmed, however many other articles said that it's better form and only if companies wants to extract extra money from the concerned citizens, then they vote for methylcobalamin form of the Vitamin B12. So, vitamin B12 is a murky point. My opinion is that Nature's Way is reputable company; my husband takes for years their other supplement, so I think I will be fine. But if not.... I will report it here on Amazon. Until then, good buy : )
Only vitamin I have ever found that has just about everything I need in it. The only thing I need to supplement is calcium because this is High in iron so it prevents the absorption of calcium. So I take a calcium magnesium zinc MSM all in one supplement at night. This I take in the morning. Before, when I was using my old vitamins, there wasn't enough of a lot of vitamins and minerals in them so I had to take a lot more supplements. Now I don't. No, I don't feel any physical difference but I'm happy knowing that my body has the vitamins it needs to get by and stay healthy
I'm an holistic health practitioner and this is the vitamin I recommend, it's got it all and has a very high absorption rate.
