Best Multivitamin for Women?

[itself]

I like taking capsules just wondering what is a cost effective but really good multi vitamin for women.

Thanks in advance!

I buy GNC Solotron vitamins (they're available with and without iron). I think they are a nice balance of being higher potency than brands like One-A-Day or Centrum, but not costing an arm and a leg like some of GNC's other multis.

I like Centrum Silver, will buy the store brand of this.

I have the kind from Costco.
I needed a strategy to remember to take them. With a Sharpee, I drew eyes and a mouth on the lid and when I floss my teeth before bed, I put a vitamin on the lid as the nose .

In the morning, I notice it smiling at me and then remember to take it.

My cats would probably get their vitamins if I did that..........

Our old kitty is much too picky to eat that.

I've got an odd one.... if it isn't nailed down she'll taste it....

Kitty's vet prescribed 1 sardine daily (for the Omega 3s), but the old so-and-so won't eat any kind of canned or fresh sardine...so he gets his Omega 3s in a bite of tuna.

I use New Chapter's Every Woman's One Daily, but it's not cheap. I think it's totally worth it, though, as it's considered "food" and can be taken on an empty stomach. Since starting 3 years ago, I hardly ever get sick.

consuming some dietary supplements is better than not consuming any, but it's better not to consume any supplements if you are consuming poor quality stuff. depending on your age and activity level, any brand reputable brands like GNC, Vitamin Research products, Life extension are ok. some have more ingredients and some less, and how they are manufactured and marketed will affect the cost.

personally i consume xtend life premium for women from new zealand.

... xtend life premium for women from new zealand.

Do they have a different formula for women who aren't from New Zealand?

My woman chiropractor has turned me on to INNATE vitamins, I am taking their B vitamin now and she is going to get their multi. Despite being in tablet form, they break down easily.

By the way, the test to see if a tablet breaks down is to place it in water and it should start dissolving in a couple of minutes.

I like taking capsules better, though. I do think there is a price to be paid for better vitamins. I will look into New Chapter to see where to get them.

Am I the only person here who hasn't gotten around to taking any multivitamin yet?

Recently I realized am now drinking alot more skim milk: about 2 litres per week compared to 1 litre per wk. a yr. ago. It's been just a slow trend for myself. No real conscious thought about what I am doing.

If it works for you, great.

I've only tried ones from Whole Foods - I'll look into the GNC ones!

try GNC then older women should consume nutrients that will deal with hormonal changes as we age.
