NATURELOWhole Food Multivitamin for Men 50+ - with Vitamins, Minerals, Organic Herbal Extracts - Vegan Vegetarian - for Energy, Brain, Heart and Eye Health - 120 Capsules

This is definitely a quality vitamin. It has no taste. They are plastic caplets and no smell that would annoy you. I found them easy to swallow, with the recommended glass if water that it states in the instructions when taking them. I smelled the effectiveness immediately afterwards when I had to urinate. It smelled as if I ate asparagus. It was only the first afterwards, and then the smell was gone for the rest of the day. These are a very effective brand of vitamin. I will definitely keep purchasing this brand since it has so many of the ingredients I am looking for. I like that they are Gluten Free and Non GMO.

I don't know why the review required me to rate the flavor. They are gel caps, so neutral in taste, and quickly swallowed. I use the women's "over 50" version, which has a slightly different formula inside. My husband takes the men's "over 50" version and didn't find anything objectionable about the flavor. Never mind that! Why I ordered these for him is that I'm aware that a lot of farming in the USA is done on depleted soil, and only phosphates and that sort of thing gets added, rather than vital minerals and plant "foods" that gives good food crops the flavor and nutrition one expects. In addition to that, as a result of a certain medical treatment he had undergone his thyroid function dropped dramatically. His doctor said once that happens, it hardly ever improves. I raised one eyebrow and said, "We'll see". What most doctors ignore is that properly balanced nutrition helps the entire body to function better. Besides that, many people get their salt intake from either sodium in their food (not good), or in that tasty sea salt added to their food. Guess what? There's no iodine in sea salt! Seems peculiar, but it's true. I counterbalance that by using Morton's salt plus iodine when cooking, and only use sea salt added to already cooked or raw food when a little flavor boost is intended, but that isn't always enough, since we watch our total salt intake. Unless you add the right dietary kelp, which does contain iodine, you may need to take a really complete supplement. The easiest method is the Naturelo Whole Food multivitamin, which contains minerals, vitamins, digestive enzymes and probiotics, plus herbal extracts. Yes, it also contains that kelp I mentioned. Bottom line, my husband's thyroid quickly rebounded to full function, and he is very happy. His doctor just grunted, mostly. (Guess they hate to be proved wrong.) Each capsule contains ingredients for eye health, brain health, heart health, and so on (such as prostate health in the men's version) in appropriate amounts. About the only addition we make to this is "CherryFlex" softgels by FruitFast, which is made from tart cherries. It adds a little extra comfort and reduces inflammation in aging joints via anthocyanins. (After a car accident a couple of years ago, occasionally one knee or the other starts to ache at night.) Take two of those softgels with Tylenol or whatever over the counter pain reliever one prefers, and not only does one get much-needed sleep, but the next day the pain stays gone. I consider it a "booster" to the Naturelo product. My husband finds that the CherryFlex by itself (no OTC pain med, as he's not in any pain) seems to help him sleep on the rare nights when that becomes a problem.

-- Long story short -I had problems reordering my current multivitamin and I wanted to compare the alternatives. At the same time, I wanted to better understand the total nutrients I was taking in from all sources. To that end, I entered all the "Supplement Facts" and nutritional values from all the alternatives I was considering and all the supplements I was taking. This product was the clear winner.Not only did it have more of the nutrients I needed to supplement my diet, it did not contain excessive amounts of others. (I thought the vitamin I was taking before was providing me with needed nutrition because it made me energized and feeling good. But it was probably the absurdly high levels of B vitamins that were responsible.)-- What about the suggested serving size? -A number of reviewers here have expressed a dissatisfaction the the number of capsules in a suggested daily serving (four per day). I am not bothered by this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is not unreasonable. One popular whole food multivitamin I took required more capsules in total. Another only required two but a closer analysis showed me that many of the nutrients were not from the included plants but artificially produced and just added in. It just makes sense that there is going to be some volume involved if you are going to supplement your diet with freeze-dried plants instead of lab-produced chemicals. The second reason the daily suggested serving of four capsules doesn't bother me is because I only take three. A very close review my total nutritional intake tells me that I only need three. If that bothered me, I would simply split them out during the day, taking one or two at a time.-- Why just four stars? --Nothing is perfect. I wish the cost was lower but while it is more expensive that others on Amazon (if you take four a day), it is still a lot less than comparable products not sold on Amazon. I also wish there was a little more of a couple ingredients but that is the trade off when you look for natural sources instead of chemicals that could be individually varied to a specific level.

Second bottle and it works well. Easy to swallow, no bad taste. I feel good and will continue to use. I have used multiple types of daily vitamins and these seem to be the best

Excellent and fast delivery, Effective vitamins, great product.Will order again.

I like the product!
