Nature's Plus - Ultra Source of Life with Lutein, 180 tablets Review

Average Reviews:

All anyone has to do is read the label on this and understand its ingredients. The human body needs so much more than we give it in order for it to survive in this world! Today's commercial over-processed and hormone induced foods are polluted with chemicals, depleted of vital enzymes and nutrients that are essential to our body for it to function properly. Ever wonder why there are so many drugs for everything? If your body is working right it will not require medications, therein which can cause side effects that require more drugs etc. By the way, Drug companies don't care about you! As long as you are sick they get paid! Health is bad business! But that is a separate issue all together. This is one of the best whole food supplements available! Start with two a day then work up to three. Powerful stuff! Do your research and be good to your body!

One-A-Day Men's Pro Edge Multivitamin, 50-tablet Bottle Review

One-A-Day Men's Pro Edge Multivitamin, 50-tablet Bottle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I added a star to somewhat offset the negative reviews on this product. This is definitely not the best multivitamin out there, but it is one of the better ones I've taken as an active person. My training regiment is fairly demanding with me running 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week and doing heavy calisthenics 4 times a week with one day set for weight training, it is tough and I'm always looking for a good multivitamin to help my body recover, especially during my two days off. This pill definitely does a fair job at that, although I would caution to follow the directions printed on the label.
Which gets me to something really important. A lot of the negative reviews on this product seems to hint at people taking this improperly. You should ALWAYS consult with your doctor before adding any supplements to your regular diet (or before changing anything in your routine diet and exercise)! This is important because he/she might be able to advice for or against a particular brand or supplement based on your personal fitness and above all, they'll remind you to follow the instructions on the label, which for this pill states it should be taken with a meal.
So basically please realize that this is for a more active individual, you should consult your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE carefully read the labels on anything you buy that will obviously affect your health.

Alive Multivitamin - Liquid Review

Alive Multivitamin - Liquid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I came across Alive from the recommendations of a co-worker. I am interested in supplements, organic foods, etc in keeping the body healthy and like the idea that this product comes from the expelled nutrients from plants, mushrooms and other sources.
First people notice is the color and taste. On some sights people refer to this product as "swamp juice". Initially I took the vitamins as a cap full shot every morning, followed by drinking some juice or water. The taste is not terrible, but it's better to not let it linger. I found mixed results with this method though, since in the morning I often was taking this on an empty stomach. I would get the nausea associated with taking any heavy dose on an empty stomach. But if you take this vitamin as a shot you will probably feel a instant charge of energy, or in the following minutes, much like a shot of caffeine or oxygen. It quite surprised me the first time it happened, Alive indeed!
Now the method I use it to fill a BPA free water bottle with 1/3 water, the cap full of Alive vitamin, and then the remainder with a fruit juice (either orange or grapefruit). This makes a tasty beverage that I can sip on all day and slowly absorb the vitamins instead of receiving them all in a shocking jolt.
Between this and the other supplements I take (Zinc, Vit C) I did not get any flu or cold this winter, and I work with kids for a living.
With my next statement realize I have no medical expertise at all, and obviously check with a Dr concerning any issues with medication, supplements or other treatment. Disclaimer aside: I suffer from clinical major-depression. It terrible to deal with in the winter time especially. I often react very poorly to anti-depressants since I don't enjoy taking pharmaceuticals and can usually feel the side effects pretty severely.
I swear that this has been the cheapest, most effective step in helping me use holistic methods to combat depression. It gives me an extra boost and I feel like body and brain are humming along much better, which gives me motivation to exercise, meditate, etc. It helps maintain this UPWARD cycle! So I have written off the cost of Alive as I'd rather pay $25 a month for this vitamin than hundreds for medications that have mixed results.
So although this takes more effort than just popping a pill I would say it's well worth that effort. I have been taking it for about 6 months straight and while I don't feel that super blast of energy anymore I feel like my daily level of energy, mental health and creativity has taken a boost! Hope this review helps!

One-A-Day Women's Menopause Formula Multivitamin, 50-tablet Bottle Review

One-A-Day Women's Menopause Formula Multivitamin, 50-tablet Bottle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Look, i'm not saying this is the perfect cure-all tablet for those going through the annoying and painful process of Menopause; However, I have experienced a huge difference since taking the One-a-Day Women's Menopause formula.
After taking this tablet once a day for 2 months, my hot flashes and night sweats have greatly reduced to almost nothing (I used to suffer terrible heat waves followed by sweat all over my face and legs!!! During the night it was a constant battle of "covers off/covers on" as I would get very hot and sweaty, only to suddenly get cold and shivery -- hard to get any sleep because of these menopause symptoms)
The feeling of calmness has increased, so that means better sleep and feeling less anxious/stressed out, making my husband happier instead of fearing the "Mad Woman of Redwood City".
To be fair, I was on hormone therapy - PrepmPro - for one year (April 2009 - April 2010) because my hot flashes and emotional rollercoaster were out of control and literally making me crazy. Yes, the menopause symptoms stopped; Unfortunately, the side affects that hit me were the monthly migraine headaches, which had gotten so bad that I ended up in ER because the pain would not go away and I thought I was having a stroke. I had suffered migraines before when I was on birth-control back in my 20's - i had stopped those immediately after a 2-week bout of migraines. I did the same with the Prempro -I stopped taking them exactly 1 year after starting those pills, and after I ended up at the hospital. I've been off Prempro for 3.5 months, and during that time I have not had any kind of headache since - so the hormones in the Prempro were the true culprit.
Yes, there are many "natural remedies" out there for women going through the change of life; but what can work for one person, may not work for another. Same thing with prescription drugs.
My experience in taking One-A-Day-Menopause Forumula is that it works for me, and I am happy with the current results.
All I need to find now is the cure for the Menopause "weight gain"!!!

Ortho Molecular D-Hist Jr - 60 Tablets Review

Average Reviews:

For seasonal allergies this is very effective. My son always presents with allergy shiners in Spring and Fall. This Spring we used the children's claratin to only minimal relief. His congestion was still pronounced. This Fall, the shiners were back and I tried the D-Hist Jr. His congestion is much less. The tablets taste good. And there is no risk of the allergy medicine "fog" interfering with his school day.
The product contains natural histamine REDUCERS. Not blockers, like over the counter or perscription medicine.
I am anxious to try the adult version for myself.

Oceans 3 Healthy Hormones Review

Oceans 3 Healthy Hormones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A few years back I decided (due to all the potential health risks and no longer needing them) to go off the pill. I ended up having horrible side effects.... night sweats, cystic acne on my neck, irregular long periods, mood swings, couldn't sleep, gained 40 pounds in just a few months, along with other issues..... I went to the doctor several times. Kept telling them that my issues were hormonal but all I got was "your getting older...metabolism slows and body changes happen" (I'm 36!), "your hormone levels are fine", "you need to exercise".... I was even put on a diet pill. No matter what I said, they wouldn't believe it was hormonal. I know by body and all changes happened after going off the pill. As a last resort, I went into a local Natural Health store. I talked with a wonderful woman about everything I was going through. She told me to try Healthy Hormones. I owe her everything! Within 2 weeks, I was sleeping through the night and the night sweats decreased. My next period was normal and no cycstic acne! I stopped gaining weight and have even been able to lose weight! She recommended taking 3 a day at first (the bottle says to take 9 a day)...if I didn't see results then try 6 then 9.... I've only taken the 3 and have had great results! I can't imagine where I'd be without this stuff!!

Optimum Nutrition ZMA Review

Optimum Nutrition ZMA
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ahh, ZMA. The famed all-natural sleep and recovery aid for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. According to most supplement companies, it also increases free testosterone levels, though many studies show that this may not be true. Halfway through a bottle, here's what I've found:
Sleep - This stuff definitely knocks you out. If you take it as directed, 30-60 minutes before bed on an empty stomach, it hits you harder than "The Itis" after a Luther burger (Boondocks reference). You sleep excellently, too, and if you have to get up for any reason, you can easily fall back asleep afterwards. Some people say you have crazy dreams, but I don't ever remember mine, and that hasn't changed since I started taking ZMA. People also claim you wake up feeling awesome and ready to go, but so far I just wake up groggy as ever.
Recovery - This is sorta hard to judge, but my muscles do feel as though they are recovering faster after each workout since I started taking this stuff. Not quite as much soreness, either.
Testosterone - I actually think, despite some studies, that ZMA does have an effect on your testosterone production. I have read other reviews that say ZMA causes acne outbreaks, and I have observed this same thing over the past couple weeks. I don't think it's coincidence that soon after I started taking ZMA I'd randomly have recurring acne outbreaks that definitely weren't as bad before (I'm 19, by the way). But I'm no quitter, so I'm just going to finish this bottle and hope things go back to normal afterwards (there are other reasons I think this influences testosterone as well...see review title).
Other than the sleep, and some possible effects this supplement has had on my muscle tone/size (though there's no way to verify this), this stuff really isn't too fantastic. I gave it 5 stars though because it does what it claims to do. I won't be buying another bottle (unless I have a bad run of insomnia or something) any time soon, but if good sleep and recovery sounds good to you, I say go for it. Most people also have a daily magnesium deficiency, but if you take a good multi like I do you don't have to worry about this as much.

Hair, Skin & Nails (Advanced Woman's Formula) Review

Hair, Skin and Nails (Advanced Woman's Formula)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My hair stylist suggested this product to me when I mentioned that I would like to grow my hair longer. She said another client had been using it for her nails and had to come in more frequently for hair cuts because it worked so well. I am almost through one bottle and will definitely be purchasing another.
What I like about this product: It is a multi-vitamin, so I can just replace my usual vitamin with these. I found it comparable with the ingredients in a regular daily multi-vitamin, and even higher in calcium than my brand. There are quite a few vitamins in the Hair, Skin, & Nails that are in much higher doses than needed, but these are ones that excesses of are easily secreted from the body (no overdose risks). As for its performance, I am very satisfied with the results so far. I have seen a noticeable increase in the growth rate of my hair and nails, and someone even commented a few days ago that I had beautiful skin, a complement I have never heard before! My hair also does not seem as brittle as it used to, and is definately shinier.
What I don't like: Actually, that my hair is growing much faster- not just the hair on my scalp, but I now have to shave more frequently. Of course, this is actually a testament that the product does what it says it will, I guess just be careful what you wish for! I also do not feel that my nails are any stronger, just growing faster. I am hopeful this will just take more time; I have used this for only about 4 weeks. I would like to warn potential users, however, that after using for one week my face broke out in blemishes, which was not only shocking but horrifying. These cleared up by the second week, but I would definitely not recommend starting these a week or so before an important event where you want to look your best! And again, my skin has never looked better since. One last note- one of the ingredients is betaine hydrochloride. This is an acidic form of betaine that is also used to treat patients with low stomach acid. I, however, am a longtime sufferer of gastrointestinal inflammations and have occasionally felt some discomfort after using this product. As with anything, even a dietary supplement as this, check with your doctor before using.

Some extras over Centrum regular include additional quantities of vitamins and minerals along with ginseng root and gingko bilboa. I work out a few times a week and jog for 5 miles 3 times a week...so I think my body can handle this, but I drink a lot of water! Trust me, you'll want to! I definitely recommend it but only if you're physically exerting yourself. On days that I know I'm not going to, I take regular or skip it.

Standing in my regular drugstore, I suddenly realized I had run out of vitamins a few weeks before. The store, though was out - and had removed their shelf tag! Alarmed, I checked a local superstore - all they had was their house brand - and I've been taking One-A-Day Maximum Formula ever since it was introduced. Half convinced One-A-Day had discontinued Max, I checked amazon.com - and there it was! I ordered two 2-packs immediately - what a relief! As soon as I took one, the way I felt made me realize how much I had missed, since running out.
One of the great things about amazon - when your local store stops carrying something, try amazon.com!

GNC Mega Men Sport 180 caplets ex 05-2011 Review

GNC Mega Men Sport 180 caplets ex 05-2011
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using Mega Men vitamins since 2003 and I've been using Mega Men Sport since about 2007. I swear by these vitamins. I truly feel different when I am taking these vitamins, nay sayers may say that is a placebo effect, but whatever it is I feel more energized when I'm taking these vitamins. I also feel more alert and able to think on my feet when taking these. A good comparison is when situations came up and I did not take these vitamins for about two months. After a couple weeks of not being on Mega Men I started to feel cranky and tired up until I resupplied with these vitamins. After my resupply the results weren't immediate, but after a few days taking the vitamins I was back on my feet and ready to go.
One of the side effects will be that your urine will turn like a neon yellow. It was funny, but it made me wonder what was going on. I used to work for a nutritionist and when I asked him about it he told me not to worry that it was just large amounts of B vitamin making its way through my system and that it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm peeing my money away. I do recommend you take these with a glass (8 oz) of water and then continually drink water throughout the day. I notice that the more water i drink with these the less neon yellow comes out.
These vitamins are loaded with your daily values, and then some, of needed vitamins such as: Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B-6, B-12, etc. They are also loaded with things that are great for energy and fat loss such as: Green Tea Extract, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Choline, and Inositol.
These vitamins can be a little pricier than most, but you get what you pay for. When I was trying to save a few bucks I tried about two other brands (Vitamin World house brand and One a Day) and one made my stomach hurt so bad (Vitamin World) while the other (One a Day) felt as though it did nothing. These vitamins sell for about $29 on the GNC website, which is about the same price here ($24); however, if you are an Amazon Prime member you will save about five bucks on the delivery charges. Regardless of which website you choose, pony up the cash and get these vitamins! You'll thank me for the difference they make!

Vitafusion Multi Vites Gummy Vitamins, Berry, Peach and Orange - 70 Gummies Review

Vitafusion Multi Vites Gummy Vitamins, Berry, Peach and Orange - 70 Gummies
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I would give these 5 stars, but the nature of the adult gummy vitamin is that it doesn't contain as many nutrients as regular pill form multis, so I docked it for potency. Nonetheless, taking a watered down vite daily is a lot better than taking none at all, which is what I took before. They taste like fruit snacks, are nice and soft, and don't have any of that rank vitamin burp effect (you know what I'm talking about ...). Every once in a while I'll get one that tastes a little mediciney, like cough syrup or something, but that's really no big. I scooped up a 120ct bottle at my local warehouse club store for about $10. Fantastic price compared to the One A Day version, which is VERY expensive. I will definitely keep these in the house from now on.

New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily Review

New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know more than I ever wanted to know about the side effects of some phytonutrients that are common in multi-vitamin formulae - particularly those specifically for women. I have SLE with co-morbid hypercoagulability that is not from the factors that typically cause APS. I also have chronic anemia and low vitamin D levels. Very boring, and all it means is that I cannot take anything that will overstimulate my immune system or put me at any higher risk of blood clots.
Unfortunately, it is all too fashionable these days to put lots of black cohosh in women's supplements. It's a great herb if you don't have a history of blood clots, strokes, or seizures, but if you're at risk for any of these, you need to avoid the stuff.
This product has herbs that offer similar balancing benefits without the risk of additional coagulability. Raspberry and red clover actually may help with hyper-coagulability issues. However, there is artichoke in this, so if you are supposed to avoid Vitamin K, you might want to choose a different supplement.
The other thing to watch out for with this supplement is that it gives you 100% of the rda of Vitamin A. It's all from betacarotene, which is good, but if you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant, you're going to want to be really careful that you are not also getting a ton of preformed Vitamin A from animal products. Use New Chapter's Perfect PreNatal instead.
One other caution I have is that the chamomile in this may give you some trouble if you're highly allergic to ragweed.
New Chapter makes products I trust. I've been using their Zyflamend for awhile, now, and it has been an effective pain reliever that has not given me any side effects. They are certified organic and use tremendous care in sourcing and producing their supplements.
