Product Reviews of Twinlab Daily One Caps Multi-Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Iron, 180 Capsules
Product Review: Only one pill instead of 4!
Summary: 5 Stars
My doctor recommended this supplement. She had me taking several supplements: zinc, iron, Vitamin E, Vitamin C among others. Since I am taking the Daily One with Iron, I don't need to take so many pills. I also take extra Vitamin D (she checks my levels twice a year), calcium, magnesium,Twinlab Magnesium Caps, 400 mg, 200 Capsules (Pack of 3) and prescription fish oil (it may not be more free from toxins than the generic, I don't know, but I feel like it's "cleaner" because at least it is regulated by the FDA). I don't know if it's these vitamins or the Vitamin D Vitamin D-3 (1000IU) 180 sgels both, but since I have been taking these, I have not been sick. Not even a cold and that was 2 years ago. And if I go a period of time forgetting to take these I do feel a difference. My doctor recommended the Twin Lab brand because she said she had seen good results with her other patients, including those that have sensitivities to dyes and artificial sweeteners. *This is also available without the iron*Product Review: Powerful vitamins
Summary: 4 Stars
This vitamin is very potent. Make sure you eat something before you drink it, if not you'll have an upset stomach. I have been using it for about a month and I feel a difference when I do not drink it. Almost as if my body is asking for a vitamin if I do not drink it. Beware....your urine will be neon yellow and smell quite funny, that's how strong it is.Product Review: Solid Multi Without Pseudoscience
Summary: 4 Stars
The best source of minerals and vitamins is food. But unfortunately today's food supply consists of staple foods like grains, soy, and legumes that contain phytic acid, which strongly inhibits mineral absorption. Livestock is fed corn rather than their evolutionary diets, leading to poor mineral content in meat. Produce may not be as mineral dense as it was decades ago. So it makes sense to supplement.
This is a solid vitamin from what I can tell. It doesn't have herbs that have little to no controlled studies to prove their efficacy or characterize their side effects. It doesn't insult your intelligence by including a list of amino acids that compose complete proteins that you already are getting enough of.
But it isn't perfect. Some improvements I'd like to see:
1. Bump the 400 IU of vitamin D to 5000 IU if vitamin D3. Studies within the last 5 years have shown that vitamin D3 is a pro-hormone needed to balance the immune system, and that because we live inside, wear clothes, etc we do not manufacture enough from sunlight. Studies show *correlation* (not proven causation) of vitamin D levels reducing the risk of cancer. Taking an evolutionary approach, look at the tight correlation of skin tone and UV index rays of native people. It suggests that vitamin D levels are an extremely important variable in natural selection so much so that it has occurred since humans have left Africa.
2. Replace vitamin K with vitamin K2. K2 is a form of vitamin K that your body can actually use. It comes from probiotic bacteria cultures that we don't get anymore. Fermented foods, raw milk, yogurt.
3. Up the magnesium, but in the form of magnesium citrate so you don't have a laxative side effect.
Product Review: You won't find these clogging the sewage system!
Summary: 5 Stars
These vitamins are by far the best! There is no hard tablet to disolve partially and then eliminate the rest into the toilet - it's all powder! Definitely take with food, as the release of all those vitamins all at once can make you nauseous. My energy went up exceptionally after switching to these from One-A-Day. These are worth the price.Product Review: great vitamins
