Douglas Laboratories Ultra Preventive 1 Daily, 60 Capsules

Quality stuff

This is one of the best multivitamins I have ever taken. I had bariatric surgery in 2011. The post bariatric surgery vitamins were so gross, I started looking for some other options. I did a detox program one summer that included the supplement as the vitamin. It was highly recommended because of the higher absorbency rate. I was a little anxious about replacing my bariatric vitamins with this one. By the end of the 30 day detox, my nails had grown a lot stronger and longer and my hair had improved significantly. The only time that has ever happened before was when I was taking prenatal vitamins. After the 30 day detox, I continued to take this vitamin. At one point I had run out and substitute it out with another vitamin that is also supposed to be really good. I felt a significant shift in my energy levels and actually ended up getting some vertigo due to my vitamin B12 being low. As soon as I started taking the supplement again, it all went away. I'm not sure whether to attribute that to the amount of vitamin B 12 in the vitamin or the absorption rate. Either way I'm sticking with this vitamin.

Unique. The tablets are very smooth and you do not need the capsules. Apparently this is to the company itself. I can also sense the ingesting of the antioxidant vitamin E. Not currently available, but some their similar less costly vitamin blends may equal or exceed it. Briefly stated you must try it to find out. I have ordered similar such Bronson products from Amazon.

My husband likes this multi-v and takes it regularly. He's 71, strong, energetic, and a healthy weight. Yearly blood labs just came back good. First recommended by my physician. Will continue to purchase.

Excellent multivitamin and mineral supplement.

Be aware this product is not a multivitamin. It has no Calcium! My error to have been taking it a long time for my daily vitamin. I have osteoporosis and now discover I've been depleting my calcium instead of supplementing it. I used to take a brand of multivitamin called Basic Preventive of theirs. The error happened because I can't take tablets since my body doesn't break them down. When I searched for their capsule version, I mistook this as an upscale alteration in the name of my vitamin. Dumb Mistake on my part! However, considering that it has all the vitamins in very high potencies, you could only take this product with a calcium supplement alone. Not their fault, but still deceiving since it also includes most all of the other minerals than calcium, except Magnesium. Considering they market themselves as a progressive brand, they should offer Basic Preventive on capsule form. Now I have to switch brands to get capsules.

This product smells so badly. Rotten eggs/sulfur. Smells so so horribly that I simply could not swallow the capsules without gagging. Not sure if I got a bad batch or if this is how they are supposed to smell but .... be warned because you can not return them.
