I have about a week's worth of multivitamins left before running out and needing to purchase a new bottle. I've been using the same multivitamin for about five years now and I'm thinking it might be time to change. There is nothing wrong with what I have been using, but I would like to see what else is out there before buying another bottle of 500 pills.
Last night when I was at the grocery store, I walked down the vitamin isle and was overwhelmed with how many brands and types of multivitamins there are to choose from. Brands like Centrum and One A Day have several different types of multivitamins. There are some multivitamins that assist with weight loss, energy, pregnancy, aging, and so forth. I just need a vitamin that gives me all the nutrients that my regular diet might be missing, keeps my immune system in good shape, and makes me feel healthy, energized, and active. I couldn't make up my mind so I went home without any new vitamins and decided to do some research on all the different types of multivitamins before making a purchase.
Even after some online research it is hard to tell which multivitamin is right for me, so I decided to look into which multivitamins our users take. Centrum and One A Day topped the list, but some less heard of brands didn't come far behind. Other popular multivitamins include Source Naturals Life Force, Solaray Spectro, and Nature's Way Multivitamin.

1. I've been taking vitamins and minersl, along with other supplements, most of my life and at 60 I feel great and people tell me i look a LOT younger than I am. By far the best vitamin supplement I've ever found is called Nutravex. I take that in the morning along with Zylene, a weight loss supplement which gives me energy all day and helps me keep my weight down to what it was in 1987. I buy them online so I don't have to bother shopping with gas $4+ a gallon http://www.zylene4uweightloss.com/Whole_Order_Page.htm I also take an amazing mineral supplement they make, called Biozyte, that has Goji, mangosteen, acai, noni, pomegranate, resveratrol, all kinds of berries, in other words, tons of antioxidanst, and every mineral you could even think of.

2. I LOVE viactiv multi vitamin chews http://www.viactiv.com They are tasty only 20 calories, feel like a treat and provide all the vitamins and minerals you need. They can be found at CVS, costco, and most anywhere for about $10.00 or less
I am a weight counselor and personal trainer, and am always looking for easy ways to take in the necessary vitamins and minerals. There is no need to buy expensive vitamins when if you eat right and exercise, drugstore variety is fine. And the viactivs are uber yummy!!
Here are a other few tips that I give out:
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If you can't be
perfect in your eating don't make the day a wash and start
"tomorrow".
Try to eat something you truly enjoy every day.
Try to eat tomatoes in some form..lycopene is great for all
especially men!
Get a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps a day.
If you don't get enough fruits and veggies take a good multi vitamin.
Try to get exercise in when you can. I have read about smartsoles on
many aol boards and they actually work, they increase calories burned
with each step and tone muscles http://www.smartsole.com
Join a support group to discuss food issues, even if seeing a
nutritionist. I have found that good
old fashioned weight watchers truly is the best and not expensive.
http://www.weightwatchers.com
And the best thing I did for myself as a single woman is get a pet.
It has reduced stress for me and added to my happiness.
Try not to eat your heaviest meal too late.
Don't hold grudges!
Again all are "tries". nobody is perfect!
I found a code for the smartsoles...you can use SMART15 and get 15% off

3. I love viactiv vitamins too. I buy all my vitamins as well as my
shampoo and other beauty type stuff at drugstore.com. I purchase
through http://www.fatcrumbs.com that gives me not only coupons codes
at over 300 of the best sites on the web...it also gives me cash back
on every purchase.

4. While I would like to be able to get all my nutitional needs filled by eating a balanced diet it just isn't always possible to do so. Having three kids and a job sometimes means skipping meals or eating junk food. To make up for that I usually shop online at http://www.worldsgreatestsupplements.com/ because they have only superior qaulity vitamin, mineral and weight loss supplements. They even have a new one called Qmegazol that has a blend of CoQ10 and high grade fish oil. As a working mom, who has time to run around buying supplements when you can get the best ones available delivered?

5. ....remember, over the counter vitamins, do not have the mg. amount per mineral/vitamin to do you any good. Also, certain vitamin/minerals counteract against others, so do your research. I did. I buy Purity Perfect Multi online at www.purityproducts.com for years now and am very pleased with the product. I know I am getting the full range of vitamin/mineral in the correct amounts that balance out what I am not eating.
