Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin - Once Daily Multivitamin with Antioxidant Complex Metafolin, CoQ10, and Lutein to Support Vision, Cognitive Function, and Cellular Health* - 30 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 am so happy to have found this multivitamin. The formulation is very well balanced, and uses the highest quality ingredients. The formulation has been particularly beneficial to those in our family that have methylation difficulties, as well as problems with ongoing fatigue. The capsules are easy to swallow, and have neither a strong taste nor strong odor, and have never given me an stomachache. These vitamins are moderately priced, and seem to be a particular value, especially for the quality of the product. I would highly recommend these vitamins for anyone who has trouble processing vitamins, and who is looking for a formulation that is gluten-free, non-GMO, and especially formulated to be hypoallergenic. It should be noted that this once daily formulation does not contain any iron.

This is a re-order, as I've taken this same vitamin in the past, - I have found it to be good value for a good product.

I've been taking this multivitamin for some time now . This is the best one I've tried. Definitely gives me the boost I need to get through my day with all the other added benefits. I am pleased that there are no synthetic nutrients in them. The only thing I wish is that there was magnesium in there too so that I wouldn't have to buy and take seperate vitamin. But I've stuck with it and just order the Magnesium Glycinate from this same brand which works well too.

They upset my stomach a bit, so good idea to take with food and not on an empty stomach. My hair was not falling out nearly as badly while taking. I ran out for the last couple weeks, and hair loss increased. Good price for good vitamins!

This multivitamin was recommended by a physician based on natural ingredients that are effective. The value of these vitamins provides a quality product with a slightly higher price point. It is a capsule vitamin that is easy to digest and average in size compared to other multi vitamins. The multi vitamin has no associated taste and has a slight smell as with any other multi vitamin.

They arrived MOLDY, absolutely disgusting, the bottle looked like it had been through the ringer. YOU WILL NOT GET A REFUND! These are disgusting and the quality control for this company is terrible. Look for another brand. I was so excited to try these too. I paid 24$ for the lesson of checking reviews more thoroughly before purchasing, I was wowed by all the good reviews which they showcase, and didn't see any bad reviews, which they hide begins all the good reviews. They are moldy and so many people have gotten batches like that and they have yet to correct the issue. They are rather large, all together a hard pill to swallow and a waste if money.

Container looks as described in page. The smell is very peculiar (in a bad way for me, very strong smell) but no stomach discomfort when taken. As for health benefits time will tell.
