Great Vitamins for People Who Hate Vitamins *Updated*
I started taking these vitamins after some routine blood work found that I was Iron and Vitamin D deficient. I absolutely hate taking vitamins and even shudder when I think of the Flinstone Kid’s Days when my parents would hand us our vitamins after dinner. I hate the taste of vitamins and I get the dreaded ‘vitamin burps’ after I take vitamins that makes it even worse. I knew I had to start taking vitamins so I went to Amazon to look at brands and this came up, after reading the reviews I was pretty much sold and ordered the Women’s Multi and an additional Vitamin D for supplementing. My doctor recommended extra Vitamin D for a certain period of time hence the addition.After starting these I started to feel so much better within a couple days. I had more energy and was less fatigued (that’s what low Iron will do to you) and I just felt “brighter.” I did get the ‘vitamin burps’ but instead of gross, synthetic tasting vitamins it kind of tasted like I had a piece of fruit earlier and the few burps I got ceased after 10 minutes instead of the hours-long bitter taste in the back of my throat with regular vitamins.Are these pills kind of big? Yes. Is it kind of a drag to take 4 per day? Yes. But guess what? These vitamins are worth it and it’s not hard to add this routine to your life. Buy a AM/PM Pocket Pill Box and you can fit your vitamins for the day plus some more in here. Take two after breakfast and then two after dinner. You’re done! That’s what I did and I haven’t forgotten to take the Vitamins since buying them.I’ve been taking them since mid-Feb 2014 so I’m hoping some other perks will kick in soon like quicker hair growth, thicker hair etc but I haven’t seen any of that yet. Also, just as a tip, I started my vitamin regimen by doing only 2 vitamins per day for the first week. I read a review or a Q&A that said Iron could cause bloating and it’s good to ease into it. I had no issues when I started the vitamins and no issues once I went to 4 pills per day. I would definitely recommend these to my friends and I plan on buying them again.*3/25/15 Update*So after a year of taking these vitamins I highly recommend them and here’s why: I have not fallen ill since starting these; by ‘falling ill’ I mean sick enough that I need to call off of work or I’m too sick to get out of bed. You know, the flu, serious sinus infection, colds, etc. There have been a couple instances where I felt a little sick but nothing that I couldn’t work through or handle and it’s because of this product. How do I know? Here’s how I know: I started to run low on these vitamins during a bad month where money was tight and I didn’t want to spend $40. I told myself I would buy them when I got paid and I ran out with two weeks to wait. During the first week of not taking them I began to get sick. Out of nowhere and it was that familiar feeling of aches, pains, fatigue, stuffiness, the whole nine. I knew it was because I wasn’t taking my vitamins so I ordered them with Prime and I couldn’t shove them in my mouth fast enough when they arrived. I didn’t immediately feel better or anything but paired with my Olive Leaf I was able to stop whatever I had from getting worse. I haven’t gone without them since and it is now on the list of must-haves regardless if money is tight or not.

Raw, Whole Food Vitamins that Actually Make a Difference!
I absolutely love these vitamins. I have been taking them for a few years, and they are the first vitamins I’ve taken where I can tell a difference when I start them… AND when I stop them. I feel better on them and I feel worse without them.These vitamins are raw and contain food based nutrients. The primary vitamins are created via a fermentation process which creates highly bioactive vitamins, coenzymes, and probiotics. They also include a nice blend of superfoods and digestive enzymes to balance it out.Unlike with other synthetic vitamins, there are zero adverse reactions. No stomach upset or headaches. Just a an energized feeling of wellness.Please be aware that you should take 4 a day. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. That may seem like a lot, but remember that these are whole food vitamins. It’s easier to cram a ton of synthetic vitamins into a smaller one a day pill when you don’t care about quality. Garden of Life is an industry leader and well respected in the natural health world.Also, it’s important to note that there is very little calcium and magnesium in this vitamin. I love their algae based calcium, but I’m currently on a budget that won’t allow it. But there are a number of natural calcium supplements that will do the job.I highly recommend this to ANYONE, but I particularly recommend it to anyone suffering from a chronic illness, cancer, or a general sense of being unwell. I had my mother start these, along with a number of other supplements, when she was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. Her lymph masses shrunk by more than half after her first treatment, much to her doctors surprise. By the end of treatment, they had returned to normal size. It’s been a year and they haven’t grown back. While it is likely only a matter of time, her response to treatment was excellent and Im certain these vitamins and the other organic/raw/whole foods supplements made a difference. Her doctor did not expect her to respond so well!If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reply to this review, tweet me, or shoot me an email!
