One good vitamin is the pre-natal vitamins, one that I use is one-source wal-mart carries them, cheap but they work as a matter of fact I use the one-source 50 because I am over 50 y/o but it is also a good idea to get some blood work done to check and make sure you are not lacking in a certain vitamin as too much is the same thing as not enough.

Hi i've been taking the reliv products now for 2 years. These products are food products as you are looking for. These products also are patented and guarateed to work. Let me know if you would like to hear more.

I read recently that the best multi that you can buy (in england at least) is boots' own brand multi-vitamin.

Don't know where you are based but this might be something to look into.

this is the best answer given in this thread! There is absolutly no evidence that more expensive is better! Infact there are some studies in consumers report magazine with regard to herbal supplements showing that the genaric pills from walgreens are one of the only suppliers that provide the actual amount of the supplement listed on the lable.

General nutrition centers ecinacea(sp) supplements only contained 25% of the total amount listed and 0% of the one they claimed was the most helpful and so claimed their pills were better.

Don't let these ponzi schemes suck you in. They are garbage and the business practices of the vitamin makers are in the business only to make money by selling hype!

I just take the drugstore brand and i'm happy with it.

So Glad I Can Help...

I have found the Holy Grail of Multivitamin. "Whole Vitamin" to be exact.

But first let me set the record straight by first saying "STAY AWAY FROM SYNTHETIC VITAMINS" or at the very least, educate yourself on them well enough to know the risks involved with taking them.

Forget what you've heard, about how great these vitamins make you feel and how good they are for your bodies.

You owe it yourself and to your families to learn the truth...

Scientists created synthetic vitamins that are cheap to make and are said to be identical in their atomic structure when compared to WHOLE VITAMINS (Vitamins directly from vegetables).

However, due to their atomic structure, synthetic vitamins only give you around 50% of biological activity as compared to whole vitamins.

Oh No, It doesn't stop there...

In fact, research studies show that synthetic vitamins can be dangerous to your health! Synthetic stripped down processed vitamins are currently being sold in almost every Brand Name supplement today. If you truly understood the importance of giving your body "whole" vitamins, along with the other critical nutrients, you would never swallow another synthetic vitamin again.

Taking the "synthetic" form of vitamin C, for example, can actually thicken the arterial walls of the heart by as much as 2.5 times! Ascorbic Acid (synthetic vitamin C) is the word that you need to watch out for!

Taking the "synthetic" form of Vitamin E is proven to actually suck vitamins and minerals right out of the bones! Once again, most vitamin supplements today are using all the synthetic vitamins because they are so cheap to manufacture.

Whole Vitamins are critical for maintaining good health!

The human cell recognizes and can use for fuel, repair and function, ONLY natural, whole food complexes.

Whole food vitamins do not rob precious nutrients from the body, but supply the individual cells with the nutrients they need to flourish. For greatest gains in terms of health, take only whole food vitamins.

Eating healthy, getting the proper nutrients, annual medical checkups, and exercise are all critical in keeping the body strong and healthy.

NOW, For Anyone Interested In Finding Out More About What I Feel Is The BEST Whole Vitamin On The Market Today (The Same Ones That I Take Everyday) or Any of you with questions or concerns, Please send me a message.

If you're going for a placebo effect, take a house-brand multivitamin and pay attention to the RDA percentages on the label. It doesn't really matter what the numbers say on that cheap hard-tablet multivitamin anyway, because it will likely pass through you like a penny (hospital workers call them 'bedpan bullets').

Multivitamin tablets are not natural. They are conglomerations of individual nutrients, mostly synthetic (as yv2u and others have stated), combined together in theoretical ratios and glued together.

Whether by evolution or creation, we were designed to get all required nutrition from our food supply. So we're really good at it. However, there is much evidence that our farm soils are depleted of minerals and trace elements by years of maximum-yield farming. And we all know about insecticides, herbicides, etc. routinely sprayed on our fruits and vegetables. I say, throw out your multivitamins and start buying organic produce and sea vegetables (seaweed). Seaweed does not suffer from depleted soils and contains practically the entire spectrum of known essential nutrients. If you can't stand the smell or taste of seaweed like me, you can buy it in capsules, but make sure it's not an extract or something someone cooked up in a lab. Sea Vegg is a decent product of this type, but I recently switched to a product called Living Sea, made by iGem Health. It seems to be a lot fresher; better color in the capsules, so more chlorophyll and other good stuff.

Oh, and watch out for these exotic juice drinks like Noni and Xango and Limu, etc., etc. -- most have tons of sugar, and if they're not refrigerated, most of those nutrients they've promised you have already broken down. Except the sugar. You'll still get plenty of that.

[quote="metomeya"]Hey I looking for a good multivitamin to take.

I don't care for taking pills myslef.
Since taking a nutritional supplement I have more energy, haven't gotten sick, skin has improved and more. I will never take pills again.

The best that I have found is the Isotonix Multitech. The vitamins are in a powder form that when you mix a certain amount of powder with water it forms an Isotonic state. You body will absorb 85 to 92 % of the vitamins within 5-15 minutes. The problem with conventional pills are that it takes between 45 minutes to 4 hours for you body to digest depending healthy you are. The reason for this is all the fillers, resins and binders that are added to them. Pretty scary!
Here is a link to find more about it.

The best one I have found is "Alive". It a whole food vitamin with no artifical ingredients and you can get it online (the best place I think is vitacost) or most health food stores. I've been buying it for a couple years.

Anyone have anything to say about the "good days" supplement i've been hearing about latley? It seems complete and non synthetic, i need some noticably better good thriving days on many different levels, will this help me? i feel bogged down with stress/anxiety, lack of exercise and a mal nurished feeling, will this help restore vitality? (along with exercise and better eating habits)
