I currently take "one a day for women" but I've been reading a lot of articles on vitamins and being over the age of 40 --this multivitamin doesn't seem to have what some Dr.'s are saying we need---especially for heart health-----I really don't want to have to take 10 pills a day to get what I need---help

Answer:

My son's doctor told me never to take a vitamin brand that will not dissolve in a cup of vinegar in 10 minutes. Many vitamins will pass through your system undigested. Waste of money and time. I chose a liquid vitamin. The very best are the ones from Dr Wallach's company American Longevity. I have tried the vitamins and the colloidal minerals and they are terrific. I highly recommend them. I currently, for convenience, use another brand of vitamin/mineral in liquid form from Utrition. I like the taste and I feel much better when taking it. It has a lot of good stuff in it more than just vitamins. Trust me on the liquid vitamins they are so much better for you.

from what i hear "one a day" is actually pretty good. but you should get screened and see what you need first.. you could simply eat different foods or more of one youa re already eating.

Walgreens Drug----One-a Day.

Very reasonable and has everything needed.

Centrum Silver may be better for you.

I also take Women's 1 A Day.But,I take Weight Smart along w/it.I like it.Works 4 me,give it a try.*

The vitamins from your local drugstore like one-a-day,centrum,etc.. are synthetic.Your body can only use a vitamin made from whole food that it recognizes as food.The rest are flushed as waste.So spend your $$$ carefully.You may want to check out a natural supplement called Nutra-Maxxxx,you can find it at www.dna911.info It is a natural supplement that your body will use..Vitamins taken 2-3 times per day are better for your body,since you eat more than once per day.

Okay so I got curious about what Kendell said about dissolving the pill in vinegar for about ten minutes. I take the Costco brand Kirkland signature multivitamin regularly, so I tested it in the cup of vinegar...It passed the test, it dissolved completely before the ten minutes, so I'm happy about that. I don't know if it is the best one, but it is reasonably priced and I like it so far for the extra vitamins we all need to have sometimes. Just my two cents, hope it helps :-).

They are all about the same, however if you are concerned with heart health you may want to chose one w/o iron.
