Amazon Elements Men's One Daily Multivitamin, 62% Whole Food Cultured, Vegan, 21 Vitamins and Minerals, 65 Tablets, 2 Month Supply (Packaging may vary)

I’ve been taking the Amazon Elements Men’s for more or so the last three years and it’s been working really well for me. I originally used Garden of Life’s Mykind Organics Men’s Once Daily which is also a good product, but honestly, the price became too much to keep up with. That’s what made me try Amazon’s version and I haven’t looked back since. The Amazon brand while cheaper also has research showing that they use cultured ingredients and covers all the essential vitamins and minerals most people need. It includes things like B12 in its methylated form, calcium from algae, and selenium which I like for heart and prostate support. Not something too important to me but It’s also vegan, gluten-free, and doesn’t have any artificial fillers or colors. There’s even a blend of herbs like turmeric, ginger, and astragalus which I appreciate for overall wellness. When I compare it to Garden of Life, I don’t notice any difference in how I feel day to day. Garden of Life has a longer list of organic fruits and vegetables and a really high dose of B12, but unless you specifically need that, I honestly think this does the job just as well. Plus, the price is way better. A bottle of this lasts two months and costs about the same as one month of the other brand. If you’re looking for a reliable daily multivitamin that’s clean and doesn’t cost a fortune, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a shot. Three years in and I’m still happy with it.

No strong smell and no stomach issues for me, even when taken without food. I like that it doesn’t feel overloaded compared to some multivitamins. Packaging is clean and clear about ingredients. Nothing fancy, but it works well if you just want a basic daily supplement.

These, I feel, have helped me a lot with overall energy. The pill is huge; I found it's better if I take it with dinner. I'm not sure how much of it absorbs, but for me, I feel it works pretty well.

I've not always been a huge fan of multivitamins. The sourcing is the problem. I used to buy from a local health food store that was made from whole foods. But the rising expense eventually stopped me and you don't notice when you stop taking vitamins like you notice when you start taking them. Ideally we should be able to get all we need from a proper diet...but this is America and we love fast paced lives and tend to reward ourselves all too often with fast food and treats. Bottom line is we need something. I have good and bad things to say or clarify. 1) This is the first multivitamin my wife has ever been able to take that didn't upset her stomach. Yeah it says for men, but traditionally the only difference between men and women version is extra iron for women, which she gets plenty of. 2) One reviewer said these smell like syrup. I wouldn't want to eat breakfast with them. They smell like food, just like the health store vitamins I took years ago. 3) I find these to be a typical size for a multivitamin. If you are on a liquid diet, then yes these will be difficult to swallow, there are better options for you. Add this to the Ninja blender when you make your smoothies. But if you still eat normal foods you regularly swallow much bigger bites than this is. If you have trouble swallowing pills you might want to try a little mind over matter. Convince yourself it's a big juicy cheeseburger you're swallowing and use plenty of water. Swallowing pills is easy. I'm in my 50's and I still swallow 8 to 10 large and small pills at one time (I take a lot of supplements). 4) If you have a crappy diet you will probably feel an energy boost. If you basically eat well...not so much. That's not the fault of this product, just nature. This isn't the answer to all your dreams and wishes... it's a high quality multivitamin. I know very few people that only eat properly sourced non-gmo food and honestly they don't look all that good. Every American needs a multivitamin. I wish it weren't so but that's life. 5) I don't know what happened when they had the label printed but it's a giant blur. You can see a high res photo of it on the product page. Amazon really needs to remedy that. I guess they spent all their money on the sourcing of high quality foods and laboratory analysis and not on a pretty label. Money well spent...but still. Fix the label. This is the best affordable multivitamin on the market sourced from non-gmo whole foods. Try it for yourself because you probably need one anyway.
