Country Life Daily Total One Multivitamin, Iron Free Once a Day Multivitamin & Multimineral Complex, Vitamins A, C, D, Including Coenzyme B-Vitamins, Supports Energy Metabolism, 60 Vegan Capsules

I have taken Country Life vitamins for several years now. I believe they help my energy levels. I have never had a digestion problem with them. My main reason for choosing them is they are certified gluten-free.

So I was out driving the other day and this complete jerk cut me off so I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting him all the while my kid's crying in the back seat and my wife is yelling at me like it was my fault the guy thought he could fit his suburban in an opening that a Mini wouldn't fit through. Meanwhile I've got to take a leak bad...I mean BAD. So while I'm trying to stop my kidney's from exploding and working to convince my wife that I know I'm not on my bike and this isn't a race track all while looking for a spot, any spot where I can run into the woods and take a leak. Then just like in the movies I see a ray of light shine down through the clouds on the entrance to a small side road! I jam on the brakes, skid into the lane--just made it. Before my wife can even begin to catch her breath and begin threatening to castrate me--I threw it in park and ran behind the 1st tree I could find. Forget heroin, booze, even sex...there is nothing like taking a leak after you'd been holding it for 3 solid hours. The best part other than the relief? My urine was nearly clear--no florescent yellow or any of the other cool colors you get from most vitamins. That probably means I needed the vitamins and most of them had been absorbed and not just pissed out. I've been using them ever since!

Since I was already taking calcium supplements, I wanted a multi-vitamin with little calcium. This is the one: it contains only 2% of the RDA for calcium, 4% of the RDA for magnesium. I've been taking the supplement for a couple of years now. Hard to say for sure if it's making a difference in my health; I suppose I take it more for reassurance that I have my nutritional bases covered. A reviewer of a similar product made the interesting comment that the Country Life multi didn't affect the color of his urine, which led him to conclude that he was absorbing most of the vitamins and minerals. Maybe there's something to that. For the reviewer (of the similar CL product) who criticized the taste, I would ask if she took it with food. I took this pill once first thing in the morning, right before eating breakfast, and felt a bit of nausea from the taste. But normally I take it after a meal, with no ill effects.

I have tried several different types of Multi-vitamins over the years as this is quite a competitive market (there's a lot to choose from as I am sure you are aware of). Personally, I like this product for several reasons- that fact that it is iron-free is preferable to me and I find that they are not an awkward shape or too large of a size. Additionally, I do not get vitamin 'burps', just like one would get with many natural supplements. The dosage requires one pill daily (which is ideal for me and for those who take other supplements) and the price point is great and reasonable compared to other competitors. If you read up about Country Life, you will come to learn that they are all natural- which again, is a plus. Try them out!

This product is just right. It satisfies all the basic needs a multi should have and then some. I cannot take a multi with a higher milligram of B complex because it makes me fall asleep; while this may have an advantage at bedtime, I really do not take a multi at that hour. I have bought this product several times now and the only drawback is there is only 60 capsules in it for $20+change. That is a lot for only 2 months. Over a year that amounts to $120 for just one health product - ugh! Health stores need to understand that Americans cannot afford to pay that and give us a good product for less cost.

These smell and taste wretched. Every time I open the bottle I have to hold my breath. Then when I actually put it in my mouth, it induces my gag reflex. The awful taste stays with you for awhile too. I'm worried about continuing use as they might be bad, although they look fine and are within the exp date. Was going to file for a return today when I unfortunately realized they are non-returnable 😞 If I had realized that, or read any reviews about it beforehand I would've never purchased. THIS IS YOUR WARNING!

We were delighted to find a once-per-day multiple vitamin without iron that is gentle on the stomach and the urinary tract. This one is iron-free, vegetarian and contains a full-spectrum digestive enzyme blend. Free of gluten, wheat, artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives. It is exactly what we had been looking for, and is a fraction of the cost at our health food store. We got the Maxi-sorb gel capsules in the recyclable packaging. We get the daily vitamins we need without any of the ingredients that irritate our systems--and in just one capsule each day!

Didn't pay attention that these were capsules and not tablets. Plenty of vitamins in them but they smell SO BAD. It's hard to swallow them due to the odor.
