Rainbow Light Multivitamin for Women, Vitamin C, D & Zinc, Probiotics, Women's One Multivitamin Provides High Potency Immune Support, Non-GMO, Vegetarian, 150 Tablets

High Quality Multi for Women

[Edited 12/16/2020] I have been taking this multivitamin every day for more than 3 years. I have a biochemistry background and worked in quality assurance for unaffiliated nutritional supplement companies in the past, so I am very familiar with multivitamin formulas, ingredients, regulations, and production. I have been working in QA for more than 6 years now. I will first say that this multivitamin is top-notch. I have consistently led a very high-stress, fast-paced life style for the past 8 or so years and neglected to take care of myself over other obligations for much of that time. About 5 years ago I started getting sick a lot; sometimes very sick. I would pick up any bug floating around without fail, and had recurrent bouts of tonsillitis and ear infections. I used to say my immune system was crap and blamed it on bad genes, and continued struggling through a different sickness every other month that would put me out for up to a week sometimes. I never put much thought into why I was getting sick all the time, but it turns out if you don't take care of your body, your body will not take care of you. A few years ago I got into a health kick and started researching the best multivitamins for women. I needed something that covered all my daily requirements in one tablet, and something that was made with trustworthy ingredients. I also have a sensitive stomach and could not take multivitamins in the past without becoming nauseous, so the fact that this multi includes enzymes to help the digestion process was a huge plus. After a bit of research I decided to give Rainbow Light a try, and I'm glad I did. I now only get sick about twice a year. Aside from this multivitamin I have also been taking 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 as well as an Echinacea/Goldenseal blend every day (this regime has changed since I originally wrote this review - I have added B-12 and Omega-3 supplements and no longer take Echinacea/Goldenseal). Overall, my opinion is that this is one of the highest quality multivitamins for women at this price level. I can say my overall health has improved since I started taking it (anecdotally), and I plan to continue purchasing it in the future. Since writing this review I have further researched whether or not this product is vegan, and have concluded that some ingredients are likely sourced from animal byproducts, so it is potentially vegetarian, but not vegan.

Loving the Energy

As a young twenty something female, these organic vitamins have helped me with my auto-immune disease. I feel more vibrant, energized, and overall healthier. These are the best multi-vitamins that I have taken EVER, and I have tried a variety of brands including GNC. I am all about promoting healthier living and it does start from the inside. Given my busy lifestyle, these capsules are so ideal because I can swallow them, pop them apart and sprinkle onto food, or I can even mix in with my beverages. These vitamins are so great that my mother who is in her early fifties have given them a try and I see her complexion looking just as youthful as my youthful skin. As time goes on, I know that I will see additional improvement, but for the past few weeks these vitamins have delivered phenomenally. What I love about the vitamins: - Organic - Capsules (Flexibility) - Easy on the stomach due to the digestive aids of the organic ingredients - Does not have a "weird" smell - Works What I have noticed to improve: - Skin has been more clear and brighter - Nails are strong (Goodbye damaging acrylic) - Fatigue is one of the symptoms I deal with from my health condition and it is has decreased - Alleviates fibromyalgia muscular pain Please give it a try. You will not regret

No fillers, all natural, the right types of vitamins and minerals

I've been getting Rainbow Light multivitamins for several years now. I usually pick them up locally but have found it difficult to get them when I need them. Doing the subscription on Amazon ensures I get them. After doing some research I found This company is one of the good ones for vitamins & minerals. They don't add rice powder as a filler, they use the proper ingredients to cover your daily intake. Many places use the wrong type of calcium, B12, vitamin D, B2, Niacin, etc. that our body can't absorb properly. Nature's Product, Inc. tries to make sure their products are easy to absorb/digest and gives you most of what you need daily. Since taking these I've has less cravings and have lost weight. (when I first started taking them I always had a chocolate type flavor as an after-taste. That usually means B12 is needed. **you will most likely a different after-taste as cravings are typically your body telling you what you're needing/lacking.) If you're on the fence about what multivitamin brand you want to use I would suggest Rainbow Light. Comparing to other brands and having used other brands before, I have to say I'm VERY satisfied. As for the flavor... Don't expect fruity or anything palatable. They are pills, vitamins, they aren't there to make your taste buds do a happy dance. Lol!

May cause INSOMNIA / MIGRAINES Mimics Estrogen: Contains Red Clover & Dong Quai

I read TONS of reviews on many, many vitamins and settled on Rainbow Light because of the excellent manufacturing practices and other highly rated Amazon reviews. I've been taking these and the pre-natal version (when I was pregnant with our fourth) for the last two and a half years. I recently read some negative, 1 star reviews. I noticed that other women were getting migraines and suffering what seemed like hormonal imbalance. I have been suffering with migraines for the last ten years, so this was not a red flag to me, and they've drastically improved after taking Natural Vitality Natural Calm Magnesium Anti Stress, Organic, Raspberry Lemon, 16 oz each night before bed. However, since taking these vitamins, I have been sleeping though the night only three or so nights a week. The other four nights I wake in the middle of the night, am up for two hours and then fall back asleep. I just figured I was a stressed mom of four and to get used to it. However, after recently reading negative reviews before ordering a new bottle, I noticed that other women said these vitamins contain the herbs, red clover and dong quai which mimic estrogen. I thought I'd do a test, and stop taking them for a few weeks, since I don't want anything to do with mimicking or altering my estrogen levels. I switched to my kids vitamins, Freeda Vitalets-Children's Chewable Raspberry Flavor - 250 CHW . Literally 24 hours after NOT taking a Rainbow Light Women's Multivitamin, I have slept through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT since then and it's been two weeks. I AM SHOCKED, and find it a little ironic that the small pill I was taking each morning to improve my health was actually decreasing it. I am glad these work for so many women, this is just for those of you who may perhaps have a sensitivity to estrogen mimicking herbs, to keep an eye out for anything unusual, because it may be as simple as switching out the vitamin you take each morning to eliminate negative symptoms

I really liked these vitamins but the C iron = iron overload in my body

If you are a regular meat/fish eater, be careful with these. They contain 6mg of iron plus vitamin C which, at this dose, can increase your iron absorption by 4x, so this alone has the potential to give you too much iron. Aside from that, I loved this vitamin for the energy it gave me. For the first time in my life I've been able to wake up right away and get out of bed without feeling groggy and like I needed to snooze my alarm. But now I have to discontinue taking it. I think taking the men's version could be okay as that one doesn't have any iron in it. However, since my iron levels are so high I need to steer clear from vitamin C as well, so that won't work for me

Amazing vitamin for moms with hectic lives

Wow just wow! This vitamins are amazing!! I am 4 months postpartum and my energy levels were very low, constipated and just bad health after breastfeeding and having a toddler. Since I started taking this bit my life has changed. I got more regular and although I wake up early, work at home, take care of my baby while working, take care of my toddler and husband when they come back home, I still have energy until I go to bed. I have never felt this good ever! Love this vitamin and better if it's natural so o know I'm taking caffeine or laxatives to wake up. If in doubt, get it

Life changing

These are life changing. I've been taking this brand since I stumbled upon them with my first pregnancy- so I took their prenatal brand and then switched to the women's one a day. The are bigger pills but not impossible to swallow- probably the size of the fish oil capsules. I take theM at night so no nausea or bad taste. The good? I get so many compliments on how fast my hair grows- and I didn't get the hair loss most women experience after having a baby. Also- it helps with mood and keeping you going to the bathroom regularly; because of the probiotics. I have recommended this brand to some of my friends and coworkers and now they swear by them too. One of my coworkers was having multiple hot flashes a day and she took the menopause line of this and is now hot flash free! She ran out and they started up again- so she knows they helped a lot. She also commented on the fact that they helped with her mood and regularity too! A warning- they turn your pee neon yellow for the first pee of the morning after taking them

Not for vegans or vegetarians. Throw this stuff away.

I really wanted to like this multi since a friend of mine recommended it and it's so popular, but oh boy. On day one, my urine turned neon yellow. I looked it up, and neon yellow pee is usually attributed to excess B vitamins which are water soluble and doesn't usually build up in the body. So I said ok, I'll keep trucking. On the second day, I was tired. There could be many causes for that so I was not concerned. On the third day, I was exhausted. I usually have so much energy so I was shook. But I'm a vegan and I needed the iron and didn't have another way to replace it. (It only has 33% daily iron, so if you are a vegan or a vegetarian, this supplement is not for you anyways.) On the fourth day, I had severe headaches and I was lightheaded enough that I had to call off work half way through -and my face was so chalky and bloodless that they let me, no questions asked. On the fifth day I stopped, and I almost immediately felt better. Let me repeat, I felt better taking nothing than I did with this garbage. Unfortunately I am ridiculously stubborn, so after three days of detoxing, I took this stuff again. The symptoms came back, and my skin turned orange. On top of that, my neon yellow pee took on a brownish tinge. Out of extreme concern for my kidneys, I stopped for good. I suspect that this batch is likely contaminated with something. After researching the company, I found that the manufacturing of these supplements are outsourced to countries with lax quality standards. I have sent samples to a laboratory for testing and will update my review when I receive the results

Love it but gives me acne and kidney issues

I still gave it 5 stars because it is a good product, i just have issues that are unique to me and may affect you as well. Right as I started to use it, i had bouts of acne and after some time off and on with taking these vitamins, i realized they were the culprit- so if you break out, do not rule out these vitamins as a possible cause. My solution is using the Teen Health version instead, which stopped the acne and still provides me with vitamins that help my hair and nails. These vitamins really help with hair and nail growth! My nails grow faster and stronger when taking these. also, another issue that may also be unique to me (but you never know) when i take these vitamins whole, i get issues with UTI and pin with urination and stuff like that. My solution is to break them in half and take one half after a meal twice a day. I hope my strange review helps someone! Cheer
