New Chapter Women's Multivitamin + Immune Support, One Daily 40+, Fermented with Probiotics + D3 + B Vitamins + Organic Non-GMO Ingredients, 72 Count

A depression cure

I've been purchasing this brand and variety (the 40-plus) for awhile now, initially because the vitamins are fermented, and I know that fermented foods are healthy. But hand-to-God, the most thrilling benefit of this vitamin is that is helps my depression. I'm not kidding. I've had episodes of depression where I took this vitamin and an hour later felt it lift. And I'm talking about clinical depression, not a blue mood. There's so much research now about the benefits of vitamins for depression. This was such great news to me as I cannot tolerate a single antipressant on the market as a chemo drug I was taking made me sensitive to everything. If you'd like more info about the subject, do a search on the "MTHFR and depression" connection, which will inform you all about the importance of supplementing with folate (not folic acid). The best articles I've found are on the Red Mountain web site, written by Dr. Rob Rostenberg. (I think I'm remembering his name right.) I can't vouch for other vitamins in the New Chapter line (in terms of their effects on depression), but this one? It's like my miracle pill. I even consulted with a doctor at the Red Mountain site, and she said it was safe to take this vitamin twice a day if I needed it. She also prescirbed a few more supplements for when the depression gets really bad (and it helps), but most often all I need is this one. I can't thank this company enough. And no, it's not placebo because I noticed the effects long before I became educated about any of this stuff. I hope it works as well for any other depression patients out there. Note: The term "MTHFR" refers to a genetic defect. If you have it, as I do, you are 500 times more likely to experience depression. But do your research about which form of folate to take. I take methylfolate, the Blue Bonnet brand. But the New Chapter 40 (regardless of your age) has been the most important for me

Best vitamins out there!!

I have been taking New Chapter daily multi-vitamins since they were recommended to me 2 years ago in an herbal store . At the time, I was looking for something that might make going through menopause easier, and I wasn't interested in hormone therapy/replacements. I had been experiencing all the typical menopausal symptoms: mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, and even vertigo (although I can't say for certain that it was a symptom of menopause). All that being said, these vitamins are the real deal! Not to be dramatic...but they changed my life! As soon as I started taking them, all my symptoms lessened and over time have disappeared...even the vertigo! These vitamins have contributed to my enhanced energy level, mood, motivation, clear skin, fuller hair, and all-around great health. I have even lost 20 pounds and have been able to keep it off! They are plant-based and can be taken with or without food - unlike some other supplements out there. I have never had an upset stomach or side-effects of any kind from these vitamins. They truly are amazing, and I fully intend to keep taking them as long they're available! Thank you Amazon!!

I've been taking New Chapter for years. I buy them either on Amazon or health store. I used work for an herb shop/wellness center and they were big on New Chapter. 1. they derive their vitamins, by fermenting actual food and herbs, and this creates the probiotic in the supplements. Back in 2012 or around then, New Chapter was sold to Proctor and Gamble. A lot of concern was that the content and quality would suffer. I am not sure if this is true, but I do know many of their supplements were discontinued. Anyway, I continue to take their vitamins and have not noticed any changes

made with organic ingredients, not Organic

New Chapter Every Woman's One Daily 40 Plus, 72 Count As I discovered after receiving this item, this product is not USDA Organic approved, and therefore does not carry the USDA seal. Instead, New Chapter lists "Certified Organic by International Certification Services, Inc." on the bottles. I checked New Chapter listings on [...] (ICS) and followed up on [...] (NOP), before calling New Chapter for further clarification. As I verified, these products meet a 70% threshold of USDA Organic, not the 95% required for the full seal (without a red diagonal bar for the 70% threshold which most manufacturers like New Chapter understandably do not use). However, I was told by New Chapter support person that the other 30% still must meet the National Organic Program (NOP) standards to be permitted the designation of "made with organic ingredients" (which is how these products are listed on the [...] (ICS) page), and not "organic". In other words, while this product still seems to me to better that most with respect to being "organic," it still is not approved to be USDA Organic

I was told by a nutritionist friend of mine that she uses New Chapter One A Day Multi-Vitamins and that I should too. So I listened to her advice and now seem to have more energy than ever. I think it is because New Chapter contains just about every vitamin and mineral necessary to lead a healthy life. Just look at the label

Good quality, but always LOTS of broken pills

Having a hard time deciding how exactly to review this product. On one hand, I do think they are really great quality and I admit they make me feel more energized! So I definitely do recommend them. However, there are a few things to note: 1. In my opinion, they're not the greatest smelling. In fact, they don't smell good to me at all. So if that's important to you, it's something to consider - but to each their own! 2. They are quite large and not totally rounded. They do have "edges" on them which, for a pill of this size, can make it difficult to swallow. (See photos) 3. The bottles I order from Amazon have literally always had SEVERAL broken pills. By several, I mean maybe 10 out of the 96. Ordinarily, that wouldn't be an issue for solid pills. You'd just take two of them that appear to make a whole when put together. However, these pills are pretty big and when they are broken the broken edge is like jagged sandpaper. So swallowing two halves to make a whole is actually pretty painful. If losing 10% of your pills to breakage or taking painful halves doesn't bug you, then obviously no worries! Just something to know in advance. A simple fix from the manufacturer would be to stuff cotton, etc into the bottle on top of the pills to keep them from rattling around and breaking during transport. (See last photo) 4. Unfortunately, as you can see in my video, my last bottle arrived totally broken. The pills now have a VERY mottled appearance, as moisture got to them during shipping since they were exposed to air the whole time. They were very poorly protected inside the Amazon box and, as I said, there's no cotton or anything inside the bottle itself to absorb impact and keep pills from breaking, so I've got a $50 bottle of vitamins that I can't take now (See video) Bottom line: I think these are GREAT vitamins if you're cool with big pills that are a little smelly. However, I would perhaps suggest that you get them from another source like a local market or another online retailer with better packaging so as to avoid some of the pill breakage and (as in my case) bottle breakage issues. So my 4-star rating is based on the product - NOT on the packaging/shipping issues (which is honestly a 1-star, but doesn't reflect the quality of the product itself). I hope this is helpful

Organic Multi Vitamin

I like the New Chapter products and have been taking this multi for years!!! I was given a sample from a health store after I told the lady at the store that I don't take any vitamins because they always made me nauseous. She told me they are organic and I would not have the same reaction. She was right and have been buying them ever since

Great vitamins, except MOLD

I would give these vitamins 5 stars for completeness and how easy they are to digest, however, 1/2 bottles I purchased had broken vitamins. While one bottle arrived in great condition, with no broken vitamins, the second order I purchased had 3 vitamins broken in half and 1 vitamin broken in little pieces. I did not complain, but rather just took two halves a vitamin a couple of times. The main concern, here, is that when I got toward the bottom of the bottle, the last 6 vitamins, one of the vitamins had a lot of mold growing on it. It was fuzzy and really nasty. I really want to buy these vitamins again, because they were so great, but am totally turned off by the mold. It's been over a couple of months since I ordered them (life got busy), so I am outside of my return window and can't figure out how to give seller feedback. I would suggest these vitamins again, but please make sure that none are broken

Not a miracle pill, but……

Now I'm not saying that this is a miracle pill, but one thing for sure is that it has done wonders for me. My immune system was really weak and I don't eat the way I should because of my work schedule. On top of that I almost never get a full night's rest. My hair started falling out. My skin looked really dull. I felt fatigue all the time. I started getting asthma symptoms. I was a wreck! Then I started taking these vitamins. I felt different in the first week. I got the sleep I needed because I'm not constantly waking up at night coughing. I'm more focused on the daytime because I've had sleep. There is great improvement in my skin appearance. All and all I just feel a while lot better. It's a small step towards health. It is the very least you can do for your body. No GMO, and organic fruits and vegetables makes this purchase a no-brainer. I truly believe it is very much a health supplement as it is a beauty product. Healthy is beautiful
