Optimum Nutrition Opti-Women, Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin D for Immune Support Womens Daily Multivitamin Supplement with Iron, Capsules, 120 Count

My husband was the one who first bought this product for me. I don’t really like taking external supplements for my body, but after drinking this a few times, I noticed a significant boost in my metabolism. It helped me lose my postpartum weight—I was around 110 lbs before pregnancy, went up to 165 lbs at birth, and now I’m down to 141 lbs. My goal is to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. This is my second box. What I love most about this product is the powerful impact it has had on my metabolism.

Six months ago I was told that I needed a biopsy of my shoulder after an MRI showed a potential problem underneath a large calcification that was floating in the joint. My rotator cuff is 80% torn and my orthopedic doctor told me that he wanted to do surgery, but wasn't sure what was going on with the inflammation in the joint. He didn't like the size of the chunk of gunk in there, or what he was seeing in the bone, but that we'd wait 6 months to see what a new MRI showed us before a biopsy.Two months later (April) started taking this vitamin. I was encouraged to do so by a girlfriend at the gym who lifts weights regularly as I do, telling me it gave her more energy. I was skeptical, but decided to give them a try after reading the ingredients and knowing the formulation is specifically designed for female athletes.I liked that the Opti-Women vitamins don't upset my fussy gut, and 2 a day of these average sized capsules is easy enough to remember. I don't notice a huge energy surge, but I have fibromyalgia and don't expect them either. I didn't notice much of a change until I ran out for a few days and then I did note a definite drop in overall energy, so I went back on them pronto!Yesterday I went to my doctor expecting to hear I'd be in for a biopsy - despite my shoulder gradually feeling much better than before. I'd modifyed my workouts in terms of limiting movements that aggravate rotator cuff injury symptoms, but hadn't babied it at all. He did an x-ray to take a quick look prior to ordering another expensive MRI, and came back astonished saying "I've never seen this before."We looked at the x-ray together and compared it to the one 6 months ago, as well as the MRI. The calcification and inflammation was completely gone from my shoulder!The only thing I've done differently was to consistently take these vitamins and Spring Valley - Vitamin D-3 5000 IU, 100 Softgels daily. I still have the cuff tear, but in terms of a biopsy, there's no need to do one now.The doc said "Keep up with whatever you're doing. I can't take credit for it, but that shoulder is healthier than its been in years!"I'm convinced of 2 things: these are great vitamins and with their help, my body has experienced a small miracle in self-repair! I'm sold and will continue to take Opti-Women Multivitamins for a long time to come.Highly recommend!-----------------------------------------UPDATE: 1/20/15Having run out of these vitamins for several months I tried a couple other brands I could easily find locally. I knew they didn't have all the good stuff the Opti-Women's vitamins had, but I got lazy and just didn't order some more. BIG mistake!Not taking these vitamins my hair became dry and brittle. My energy levels dropped and it seemed I was more susceptible to colds. I experienced stomach upset with the other vitamins - something I'd not had with these.Now back on Opti I feel better overall and my hair is looking better too. I'm not nauseated by these vitamins - taking two when I think of it each morn, without worrying if I've eaten or not before taking them.NOTE: I can't say enough good things about this vitamin, but will warn those on blood thinners NOT to take them! They have Vitamin K which will muck with your blood thinners - specifically Coumadin. (My mother's on it and can't take these vitamins.)I'll keep buying and taking these supplements for as long as they make them. Love 'em and the way they make me feel.--------------------------------------------------

Bought it for my wife a few weeks ago, and she says it’s better than many others multivitamins she tried before. I will buy it again.

I’ve been using this multivitamin for years, and honestly, it’s one of those products you don’t really notice—until you forget to take it! When I’m consistent, I feel like my usual, energized self. But the moment I skip a few days? Boom! I’m suddenly wondering why I’m dragging myself around like a phone on 1% battery.The best part? It always arrives on time and in perfect condition, so I never have to stress about running out. If you want a simple, reliable boost to keep you feeling good

I took One-a-day Women's before trying Opti-women vitamins, and while I was pleased with the One-a-days, I still wanted to see if I could find something better. I did. Optimum Nutrition's Opti-Women vitamins are wonderful.They first captured my attention as a potential replacement because while researching, I recognized the company name. Optimum Nutrition makes some of the best and best-tasting protein powders out there. Their reputation is very good, and I hear their products recommended often. When I found out that ON makes vitamins, I knew I had to try them.The vitamins are very easy to swallow, thanks to the capsule form. They just slide right on down, and I feel like they're absorbed better because of their form.I've seen positive benefits from taking them, and I only take one a day (a half-dose). My nails grow even more quickly, and they no longer bend over, and I feel like I have more energy. I don't feel jittery though, and I haven't noticed any change in my heart rate as I would with caffeine, which is a plus. (I tried One-a-day Weight Loss vitamins before the OAD Women's, and I hated the way the caffeine made me feel.) I haven't noticed any changes (neither positive nor negative) in my mood or in my urine. I know that it probably sounds like the Opti-Womens do nothing, but in truth, the positive effects--though definitely there--are subtle.The only downside is that if I burp a few hours after taking them, I get the 'flavor' of them in my mouth. (Which is basically how they smell.)All in all, I really like these vitamins, and I know that when I run out, I'll be buying another bottle of Opti-Womens.Edited 4/21/12:Well, after a brief break from these vitamins (monetary reasons) I'm back on them, and I'm definitely noticing a difference. When my bottle of Opti-Women ran out, I switched back to the One-A-Day. Meh. Then I switched to the Target brand generic of the One-A-Days. They were awful -- my nails immediately started breaking, and they just didn't seem to do anything.Now I'm back on the Opti-Women vitamins, and compared to the crappy generic things I'd been taking, these are amazing. I *do* feel more energetic, even with a half-dose, and my nails and hair are great. (Except I now have to tweeze my eyebrows almost twice as often.) Oh, and for some reason, I'm now having discolored urine -- bright yellow, which I've heard is the B vitamins and nothing to worry about. I'm thinking that I probably had it before but just didn't notice it for whatever reason. In any case, I'm never buying another brand of vitamin again.

I purchased this as a recommendation from my fitness coach. It literally comes with every little supplement / vitamin I was recommended in one pill. It is in pill form and it’s a medium size pill. Clear looking. The taste is neutral. Doesn’t taste like anything. Effectiveness is 100%. This has severely impacted my health in a positive manner and I will continue purchasing this product. I highly suggest this instead of buying individual vitamins. It all comes in one pill with this product and is a great value for the product.

Really works I recommend this product for females

Excellent product, exceeded my expectations
