If I didn’t take a multi-vitamin, I’d be dead, February 4, 2008

Okay, I admit it, I’m a junk food addict. Fresh fruits and vegetables are not a part of my diet at all (on more than one occasion I’ve had Doritos for dinner). I didn’t start taking the One-A-Day Women’s multivitamin until about 18 months ago. One of my sisters and I were talking about how thin & brittle our nails were, and how thick our other sister’s nails were, and we made the connection that our other sister took a multivitamin, while we did not. So I started taking One-A-Day, and within the month, I could see a thicker ridge of nail growing out. It was so weird, and yet so disconcerting to think my thin nails were caused by a vitamin deficiency. Even now, when I go for a bit without the vitamin, thinner nail will grow out until I remember to start taking the One-A-Day again. If my vitamin deficiency caused thin nails, what was it doing to the rest of my body?

One-A-Day Women’s is a well-rounded vitamin. My only problem is that I have to take multivitamins on a full stomach, otherwise they’ll cause an upset stomach, so much that I will toss my cookies. This happens with any multivitamin for me, not just One-A-Day, but it’s something to keep in mind when taking a multivitamin for the first time, you probably don’t want to take it with an empty stomach.

*Update* I’m still taking the Women’s One-A-Day, and a few months ago I suggested to my husband that he should start taking the Men’s One-A-Day. He too has the same “thicker nail growing out” bonus from taking the Men’s One-A-Day!

GOOD VITAMIN TO TAKE BUT MAKES ME SICK!, March 28, 2010

These vitamins are good, they have changed my hair and nails for the better. I also have noticed a big difference in my energy level and menstral cycle. The only thing I dont like is that I absolutely have to take this on a completely FULL stomach. I would never be dumb enough to take on an empty stomach, but even when I take after a small meal I will feel sick. Its crucial I eat a big full-filling meal first. I have experienced nausea so bad that Ive actually thrown up after taking this. I have even gotten diarrhea before because i took this with only a small breakfast. Very important how you take it. Other than that my only concern is why in the world would anyone pay for these vitamins online?? You can get them at the grocery store for like bucks! Just something to think about…

all women should take one a day!, October 6, 2007

I heard about this vitamin from my mom who has been taking it. I have been experiencing lots of exhaustion and worsening pms in the recent few years (I am in my mid twenties). My mom told me she has a lot of energy since she has take this vitamin and urges me to try it. I have been taking the vitamins for about a month now and really feel the difference (I don’t know if it’s the vitamin or just a psychological effect). My pms symptoms also got noticeably better this month without the usual exhaustion, frustration and bloated feeling 1-2 weeks before hand. This is my personal experience, and I am hoping it will last!
