Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin, 60 Capsules

First things first, this is a great multivitamin. I (22F) started taking it to help treat my telogen effluvium (hair loss caused by stress/hormone changes), along with Iron-C and ashwagandha supplements from the same brand, and I’m happy to say that ALL my hair is growing back, good as new, after just a few weeks! However, there are a few things I wish I’d known before I started taking this one. First, since it’s so jam-packed with ingredients, each pill is going to be insanely potent and have a powerful, noticeable effect on your body from the moment it hits your stomach. Bear in mind, I am a HUGE skeptic when it comes to taking any kind of supplements—before I got TE, the only things I’d ever taken were Flintstones vitamins—so I was pretty suspicious of all the reviews on this one claiming that it made people jittery and energized immediately after taking just one. I thought surely these people were suffering from the placebo effect or forgetting that they’d taken it along with a cup of coffee or something equally preposterous. Boy was I wrong. These things really do slam into your system like a live wire! Unlike some of the others in this review section, I don’t find it uncomfortable or disruptive to my day-to-day in any way, but it is certainly hard to forget about. Second, the TASTE! Ugh. I have to plug my nose when I’m taking it, and I don’t let go until after I’ve swallowed, it’s that awful! It kinda tastes/smells like a stale old barnyard. Imagine the smell of hay mixed with a blossoming Bradford pear tree (the ones with the little white flowers whose odors are nothing like a pear). No bueno. But easy enough to work around if you don’t mind a slight ear-popping sensation when you swallow. Heaven forbid you have to taste a burp with it still undigested in your stomach, but that’s the worst of it. Now, I’ve saved the worst for last, and it’s directed specifically towards anyone with ADHD: DO NOT TAKE THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUR MEDICATION!!! If you take a stimulant medication of any kind for any reason, PLEASE heed my warning. I’ve made this mistake twice now and both times I wished I could just die so I could escape the indescribable pain I was in. The experience only lasts about 15 minutes to half an hour, but the whole time you’ll be groaning and writhing, clutching your stomach, heavy and labored breathing, sweat literally pouring out over your entire body, as you endure an acute short version of the same kinda pain one might feel at the peak of their worst period cramp ever. If you’re a woman then you know the type of pain I’m talking about and will steer clear at any cost. If you’re a man and you have an Adderall Rx, feel free to take this multivitamin at the same time to get a feel for what menstrual pains are like, then remember the traumatic horror of it all whenever you’re tempted to roll your eyes at a woman who says she’s really going through it. It’s just awful. I don’t know exactly how or why these two pills interact with each other in such an explosive way, so I can’t give any advice on when it’s safe to take one after the other, but I haven’t had too much trouble unless I take them within 45ish minutes of each other. There was one time where I took my Adderall (30mg IR for reference) about an hour before I took my vitamins, and I did feel the tiniest brush of the same sensation, but it was just a twinge—maybe a minute or two long, and exponentially milder than the two times I took them together or nearly back to back. The worst of it was when I took the two simultaneously, like in the same handful with the same gulp of water to wash them down. The second time, I took my Adderall about 10 minutes prior to the multivitamin, and it was pretty much the same amount of pain, but it felt like it was over just a little bit faster. This leads me to suspect it has something to do with absorption or digestion rates, so from here on out I will be making absolute sure that I don’t let these things anywhere near each other in my stomach. Am I going to stop taking either of them altogether? No! But I hope my experience can serve as a cautionary tale to those in my same position and prevent them from enduring the same horrific fate.

I've been taking these less than a week and can already see a dramatic difference in my skin. I'm sleeping better and my mental fatigue has improved. I have SLE lupus, EDS, CPTSD, ADHD, and a few other alphabet diagnoses lol. No med changes in over a year so I know it isn't related to that. My diet is "average American" so I know it isn't my diet and this certainly isn't a placebo effect! I heal alarmingly slow due to the lupus and eds. Since starting this vitamin, wounds (typically bug bites from gardening) that would normally take literal weeks to heal are healing properly and at a normal pace. This sounds small, but to me it's huge and it's also a big indicator that this supplement is right for my body and is absorbed properly. I'm so happy with results just 1 week in!! I will update at the end of the month if there are more significant changes! Zero side effects although I have taken another reviewer's warning to heart about not mixing this with ADHD meds. Easy to take, no bad taste or after taste. List of supplements I just started: P. E. ONE Multi, tiny pinch of Baja Gold mineral sea salt for trace minerals, and Life Extension NAC. I've been taking P.E. Magnesium Glycinate for months and it makes a HUGE difference in how well I sleep. I highly recommend all of the above!

My 85 year old mom takes these daily along with the Pure Encapsulations B12 Folate for energy. These are real products, not fake ingredients. My mom is thriving, I really think in part because she takes both of these. This O.N.E. multivitamin is formulated with more than 25 vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients. They provide vitamins A,B,C,D and E in highly bioavailable forms for optimal absorption which is VERY important. It also includes additional vitamins & minerals like CoQ10 to support healthy brain function, cellular health, heart function & eye health

Yes! I’m currently on my first bottle and it was recommended by my Dr. I'm trying to maintain my quality of life the older I get and this seems to be helping a lot. I have a little more energy and not so fatigued. I also take it with my morning protein smoothie so it is easy to swallow and stays down. I would definitely give it a try if you are interested.

So far these pills have been GREAT! My body is sensitive to anything energy so the B12 and other ingredients definitely made me feel a burst of energy but in a good way. After a few days my body got use to it and I don’t feel the excessive energy feel just noticed that I don’t crash throughout the day. They do have a HORRIBLE smell though. Very strong smelling. But I just plug my nose and take those suckers cause the benefits are far more important than the smell to me 😂 I also have a sensitive stomach so I make sure to eat before I take it and it’s been fine on my stomach. All in all I’m def getting these again once they run out. They’re affordable and seem to be working. I’ve also sent them to my friends cause that’s how good they’ve been making me feel.

My daughter told me about these vitamins. I felt really rundown tired and I started taking them. I felt energy after taking these vitamins. Easy to take.

It does a good job for what it is supposed to do for a every day vitamin.

The order arrived on time. The pills were big but with a gulp of water no problem taking them. No taste, digest easily.

Had been taking this high quality multivitamin for some time and good feedback

great product
