Ingredients look excellent; But it doesn't agree with me.
Please see update below, as I've lowered my initial review from 3 to 1 starts. I'd really give this 2.5 stars. I switched over to this product from using Rainbow Light Complete B-Complex. Both are food based supplements, but a health-minded friend of mine told me she preferred this brand of supplements, particularly during pregnancy. When I ran out of my previous brand, I ordered this. Unfortunately, this gave me really bad headaches, and I am not a person who gets headaches, ever. I was taking a single capsule a day, with a meal and plenty of water. Within hours, I had a major headache, which did not subside for almost 24 hours. I waited days to try and take it again, thinking the headache may have been from something else; food, stress, etc. However, the same thing happened. After a third trial, I have decided this product just isn't for me. I keep scanning the label but nothing is jumping out at me, for what could be causing the headaches. I think overall it looks like a decent well-formulated vitamin, but be aware that it may cause headaches in some individuals. UPDATE: I contacted Garden of Life, and they were unwilling to discuss why it could potentially be causing headaches. They said headaches are a 'normal reaction' to taking a new supplement and rudely claimed that I wasn't drinking enough water. I was drinking plenty of water, so that's a cop out excuse. They refused to refund me my purchase price, even though I offered to send them back the unused product and the receipt. I can't support a company that won't stand behind it's product; what a shame. I won't be making any other purchases from the Garden of Life line
