I started giving this vitamin to my son because it was the closest I could find to the recommendations in Dr. Bock's Book Natural Relief for Your Child's Asthma. After he took one bottle I decided to go back to the cheap Whole Foods children's chewable vitamin because I wasn't sure the Vitamin Code was worth the price. After a couple of weeks on the cheap vitamin he started getting sick again and was complaining of severe leg pains at night. The pain was so bad he couldn't even sleep. After a couple of weeks of sleepless nights, I bought some more Vitamin Code.After one dose the leg pain disappeared. I only have to give him one capsule a day, so the price isn't really that bad considering that i can tell that the vitamin is actually working. I have recently started taking it as well and I only take two capsules a day instead of the 4 they recommend. WOW! I have energy and my hair isn't falling out anymore. I have always had fine hair, but now it has texture and is actually full! I try to get all my nutrients from my diet, but I never actually thought that a vitamin would be this amazing. And one of the best parts is it does not give me an upset stomach...you can take it with or without food. I am totally hooked on the Garden of Life and am convinced that synthetic vitamins (no matter how much you pay for them) are garbage. Your body needs nutrients from food sources, not synthetic vitamins. Sometimes it is hard to get all you need from food alone despite how healthy you eat
