I went for my annual check up and my doctor noticed something strange in my blood and urine results, stating that there was a high level or heavy metals such as mercury and arsenic. He thought it was weird considering that arsenic disappears from your blood stream within 2-3 days. He asked do I eat a lot of sushi or predator fish, which I replied with I rarely eat seafood. The idea of having arsenic in my system troubled me and so I went home to check anything that could have been contaminated. I ordered a kit to test my water and did a few online searches and stumbled upon a class action lawsuit against Rainbow light for their products containing heavy metals! I immediately threw these out. Upon my 3 month follow up, I no longer had traces of mercury or arsenic in my system and the only thing I changed was not taking this poison. DO NOT BUY THIS

UPDATED: The image of the product label has been updated to reflect the actual product as of 5/17/2018. They still updated the product and reduced a lot of what's in the pill but at least you know what you are getting now. ---------------- original review Check the nutrient label pictured. As of today (May 8, 2018), it does not match what you get in the green topped bottle If the image still shows Vitamin C at 120mg/200% of daily value, it's wrong. The new green topped bottle gives you 45mg/50% of DV. Another example, if the image above shows Calcium at 50mg/5%, it's wrong. New green topped bottle is 25mg/2%. I also attached the WRONG label to this review. If it matches the one above, it's wrong. Again, the wrong label is attached to this review. Not what you get. Not every ingredient is changed and a few are using a new unit of measurement but quite a few have been noticeably reduced. Like others, I feel tricked. I still think this is a good quality vitamin, I just don't like being tricked into thinking I am getting the same product when I re-order. There should be some sort of notification on the bottle like "new formula" then I can decide.This is especially the case when the price didn't go down, I think it went up. If the image now shows the new label with the lower amounts, please leave a comment so I can update this review. The new label is DIFFERENT from the image in this review

Actually have had this product for only about 3 days but I want to warn you of a few things. I would not buy this product again (even though I admire it being organic) because (1) the Vitamin B12 they use is the inferior cyanocobalamin (as opposed to the best...Methylcobalamin) (2) the Vitamin C is pure ascorbic acid, which by itself (i.e. no bioflavonoids included ,etc) can be acidic....but, granted, with all the other stuff in this vitamin, it would not be likely (3) it contains only 1 source of Vit E tocopheryl (d-alpha), whereas studies have shown a mixture of all 8 tocopherols and tocotrienols is by far the most effective and (4) the amount of zinc (a very important mineral) is only 7 mg, or 47% of RDA. Source Naturals, mentioned below has 15 mg, or 100%. Whenever a company takes the inferior route (cyanocobalamin) on anything, I avoid them, not knowing what other inferior ingredients may be used. 12/31/2011 UPDATE: Here is the reply I sent to IMHO who asked if I know of another product for consideration: Hey there, and you are welcome. By far, the best I could find is Source Naturals Life Force Multivitamin. It actually has the only Methylcobalamin for its B12 that I could find in probably the 20 or so brands that I checked, and this includes the liquids. And, more good news (and kinda unbelievable)....it actually has the FULL spectrum of all 8 tocopherols and tocotrienols !! Also, it has 15 mg of zinc (100% RDA) whereas Rainbow has only 7mg (47% RDA). Hope this helps

I've been taking this multivitamin for over 10 years. I was drawn to this product due to it being a 'food-based' multivitamin. I just noticed I've bought the 150ct bottle 8 times here on Amazon and then before that I was buying it from another online vitamin store. 5 years ago I noticed I was developing a tingling and cold sensation on my left forearm and left hand. I ended up going to the ER where they basically couldn't find anything wrong with the exception of inflamed tissue around the sack the heart sits in. During that time I discontinued the use of this vitamin because I wasn't sure what was causing the tingling. I started back taking this multivitamin a year later. Fast-forward to Jan. 2023, I started having that same tingling in my left forearm and left hand again. Originally, I thought it was due to my high blood pressure medication because I also started having heart palpitations. I ended up having to go to the ER where they ran a CT scan to rule out a stroke. They also ran a chest scan to rule out a heart attack. They also did blood panel to make sure I wasn't suffering from kidney or liver problems. They could not find an answer to why I was experiencing tingling and coldness on the left side of my upper body. Ultimately it was ruled as acute and would go away on its own. The ER assured me whatever was going on would not kill me. However, day by day the tingling and coldness started to travel to my feet and then my chins, then from my hands ands forearms to my shoulders and then I started to feel it in my chest. My PCP had wrote me referrals to both a cardiovascular doctor and also a neurologist. I began to experience skin tremors and flutters in my feet that weren't painful, but felt like bugs crawling underneath the surface of the bottom of my feet. It was a very weird feeling. I began doing my own investigating and realizing I was suffering from Peripherial Neuropathy. Part of my investigating was also thinking about every single thing I was doing day to day from eating to physical activities that might contribute to this issue I was having. Based on what the doctors said, it wasn't the high blood pressure medication that was causing this issue, and the only other thing I knew I had been consuming daily was this multivitamin, so I began looking up each ingredient and typing 'Peripheral Neuropathy' next to the name of each ingredient in my Google searches. Eventually I came to B6. There is 20mg of vitamin B6 in this multivitamin and that's 1176% of the daily value needed by our bodies. I found that there are MULTIPLE reported issues of B6 causing Peripherial Neuropathy when taking in either extremely large doses or slightly larger doses over a period of multiple years. This B6 induced Peripherial Neuropathy has been an issue since the 1980s and its still allowed to be sold in high doses within multi-vitamins. I instantly stopped taking this multivitamin and now a week later my Peripherial Neuropathy has almost completely resolved. Based on the timeline of events, I know for a fact this multivitamin is the cause of my Peripherial Neuropathy. Thankfully I realized it before permanent chronic nerve damage was done. Do yourself a favor and do your research. I was taking this vitamin for over 10 years and would have never guessed it would have caused me 2 ER visits during this time. 1176% of B6 or any vitamin is ridiculous when you think about it. Sure your body will pee out whatever it doesn't need, but your body can only get rid of it so fast when you're constantly injecting 1176% of it a day into your body. It's even more ridiculous that Rainbowlight would include this amount of B6 in their multivitamin when they know the history behind B6 intoxication and its issues associated with Peripherial Neuropathy. I'll never take this multivitamin again and I recommend you do the same

So in this day of manufacturing certain details are worked out so products/packaging are pretty much perfect. The box of this was fine but the label on the bottle is a little crooked and has air bubbles under it like it was hand placed/glued like I have seen on other knockoffs. I understand that this is just an air bubble/s, but precision manufacturing does not allow this. I will be contacting Rainbow Light with the serial numbers to verify. Update...I have contacted Rainbowlight with all the serial numbers and other numbers on the bottle and box and will edit my review when I receive a response. And final update. Rainbowlight has confirmed with the information that I gave them that this is an authentic produc

After Rainbow Light updated the formula for its Men's One multivitamin I was anxious to try it out and placed an order for it immediately on Amazon after seeing that it was available. Unfortunately I was sent the original version despite Amazon's website showing that the updated version was what I had purchased. After ordering three times in January of 2023 and receiving the original version each time, I gave up and ordered it directly from Rainbow Light's website. That time I got what I ordered. I've always thought that it seemed odd that the original version contained 200% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A as beta carotene yet only 50% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, so I was excited to see that Rainbow Light had changed these values in the new version. The new version contains 100% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A as beta carotene and 100% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C. Rainbow Light also made a point of announcing that the new version contains Ashwagandha. However, there are a few other subtle changes that you won't notice unless you have a photographic memory of what the old version consisted of, or if you have a bottle of the old and new versions to compare. The amount of Thiamin was reduced from 20 mg to 6 mg, and Riboflavin was reduced from 20 mg to 5 mg. These are some fairly significant changes. Additionally, the "Organic Rainbow Superfoods Blend" was reduced from 100 mg to 80 mg. Who knows how significant this change is since who knows whether this really makes a difference. The old version contained "Men's Nurshing Blend (51 mg) which I'm assuming was updated or replaced with something in the new version called "Men's Botanical Blend" (66 mg). Maltodextrin is listed as the second ingredient among "Other Ingredients" in the new version whereas it wasn't an ingredient at all in the previous verion. Lastly, the old version had something called "Enzyme and Probiotic Blend" (27 mg) which appears to be updated or replaced by something called "Ginger, Enzyme and Probiotic Blend" (27 mg). In conclusion the most significant changes are to the amounts of vitamin A and C, in particular the amounts of Thiamin and Riboflavin. The changes to the amounts of Thiamin and Riboflavin caught my attention by surprise since they weren't identified in the promotion of the new version by Rainbow Light; instead you would have to look on the side of the bottle to know that. Whether these changes make the new version better who knows

I called Rainbow Light to investigate the situation with the changed formula and the new green caps. They confirmed that they have changed the formula and claimed that it is in anticipation of new requirements set forth by the FDA that have to be met by 2020. Also, if you go to the Rainbow Light website, they still sell the Men's One vitamin, and the supplement facts they provide match the green-top bottle that I received from Amazon (and of which other reviewers have posted photos). So I think it's safe to say these are NOT counterfeit vitamins. However, it is pretty disappointing that they've changed the formula so drastically

I've been using these vitamins for over 10 years now and I have only good things to say about them. There are debates back and forth as to the efficacy of tablet multivitamins (as opposed to the vitamins naturally ingested through a normal diet), but I feel from what I've read that the food-based component of these vitamins aids in absorption. Other food-based vitamins from Rainbow Light as well as other companies are supposed to be even better in terms of absorption, but they require you to take 3 or more pills a day. For my routine and discipline (as well as memory at this point) I'm fine with the trade-off in absorption in order to go with remembering to take only one pill once per day. I recommend taking these in the morning as opposed to the evening, I've noticed if I take this shortly before going to bed I have a much harder time going to sleep. I also STRONGLY advise that you eat within 10 minutes of taking this (I take my daily tablet right before I eat breakfast), I have had stomach upset taking these on an empty stomach and then going an hour or more without eating. Other than that I recommend these to anyone in the market for a men's multivitamin

After trying the organic men's multivitamin, we decided to go with this one instead since it is only a one a day tablet. I love rainbow light products because they are plant based, allergen free, and have no artificial fillers or colors. Also the pills are very easy to swallow. Rainbow light products are wonderfully priced, especially on amazon using subscribe and save, and don't have any after taste. This product has all of the vitamins we would like in it and my husband only has to supplement with fish oil and magnesium. He does feel a huge difference in his body compared to the other multivitamins he has tried. With 150 tablets, they will last you 5 months and so we don't have to reorder multivitamins every month. They come in a nice recyclable bottle that is childproof and they don't have a horrible smell, if you are sensitive to that. I would highly suggest these for anyone who is needing a multivitamin that gives you a lot of vitamins and that is going to be good for you and not damaging to your gut
