Customer Reviews

Best you can get
A friend told me about this several years ago, and said I had to try it. I was very skeptical, as I was taking a multi vitamin from a name brand company. I lost a bet with him, and the price I had to pay was to try Weil Nutritionals out. I did, and since then have felt better than I did before taking it. With the off the shelf drug store stuff, that I had been taking, I was always felling run down, and getting sick. My wife started taking Weil Nutritionals too, and has quit taking the women's nutritional products from other companies. I do not know what Dr. Weil does that they do not, but truly does seem to be a better product. The Amazon price is WAY better than my local health foods store too.

Some Concerns
While I don't think this multivitamin is bad overall, I do have some concerens.

First, the vitamin is extremely hard to swallow. I nearly choked a couple of times trying to get it down. Another reader claims that shouldn't be a criticism. Well, I disagree.

Second, [...], an independent company that tests nutrional supplements found problems with the ingredients, namely that the vitamins contain only 73% of the vitamin A that is on the label, and, due to a binding agent used, there is actually 251% of its claimed 60 mg of calcium. Whether these problems have been corrected, I do not know.

Nonetheless, I think these vitamins are decent overall, although I have ethical issues with how Dr. Weil shamelessly promotes his own products on his Web site, especially with his "vitamin advisor," which recommends the same amount of stuff to take regardless of your input.

Update: Based on the recent tests by Consumerlab.com, it appears that the issues I mentioned above have been resolved.

Horse tablets
These are great but they are huge pills. I highly recommend and will be buying again myself. I have not problem with big pills but other might.
