Twinlab Daily One With Iron

These are great vitamins with much higher doses than other brands. I've been taking them for about 3 months now and feel a real difference in my sense of well being. One note though; they have made me feel nauseas more than some lower dose vitamins I've taken. I'm not sure if it's the higher dose or that it's in gel cap form. As with any vitamins DON'T take them on an empty stomach or after eating only something like yogurt or a piece of fruit. I've taken the time to write out the levels of each type of vitamin because that was something I wanted to know before purchasing. Please note they might occasionally change their formula but this is from the label of the vitamins I bought in late 2011: Vitamin A - 4000IU - 80% (from Beta Carotene) Vitamin A - 6000IU - 120% (from Retinyl palminate) Vitamin C - 150 mg - 250% (from ascorbic acid) Vitamin D - 400 IU - 100% (from cholecalciferol) Vitamin E - 100% IU - 333% (from d-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate) Thiamin - 25 mg - 1667% (from thiamin mononitrate) Riboflavin - 25 mg - 1471% Niacin - 100 mg - 500% (from niacinamide) Vitamin B6 - 1250% (from pyridoxine hydrochloride) Folic Acid - 800 mcg - 200% Vitamin B12 - 100 mcg - 1667% (from cynocobalamin) Biotin - 300 mcg - 100% Pantothenic Acid - 50 mg - 500% (from d-calcium pantothenate) Calcium - 25 mg - 3% (from calcium carbonate and calcium citrate) Iron - 10 mg - 56% (from carbonyl iron) Iodine - 150 mcg - 100% (from potassium iodine) Magnesium - 7.2 mg - 2% (from magnesium oxide and magnesium aspartate) Zinc - 15 mg - 100% (from zinc picolinate) Selenium - 200 mcg - 286% (from sodium selenate) Copper - 2 mg - 100% (from copper gluconate) Manganese - 5mg - 200% (from manganese gluconate) Chromium - 200 mcg - 167% (from chromium chloride) Molybdenum - 150 mcg - 200% (from sodium molybdate) Choline - 10 mg - + (from choline bitartrate) Inositol - 10 mg - + FloraGLO Lutein - 500 mct - + + = Daily Value (DV) not established Other ingredients: Gelatin, Purified Water, Alginic Acid, Croscarmellose Sodium, Potassium Citrate, Soy Lecithin, MCT, Magnesium Silicate, Vegetable Stearic Acid, Silica, Magnesium Stearate, Potassium Aspartate. 1 per day = recommended dose

I have been using the Daily One Caps with Iron for well over a decade now and have never been able to find anything close to how well these work. First off, the obvious benefit is that they are a Capsule and dissolve super fast and in no way am I attempting to be graphic, but there have been other companies Multi-Vits(tablets) I have taken where they have past right through without so much as been slightly absorbed(note: I have tried tablet multi-vits from Twin Labs and they have always fully dissolved, so I can attest that its not just a tablet thing). I never get an upset stomach while taking these caps even on an empty stomach, once again, I've had issues in the past with getting upset stomachs, if not even vomiting with some caps from other companies. Two things I always look for in a Multi-Vit is the variety of vits and minerals as well as the concentration of such and have been hard-pressed to find any other brand that matches the Twin Lab Daily Cap with Iron(just do a quick comparison for One Daily Caps and please while doing so make sure the label states it is for ONE cap and not three or something). I do understand more is not always better, but in my head I just figure it doesn't hurt to take a higher concentration if available...especially if I know what I'm taking is high quality. Twin Labs has always produced a high quality product that are produced in their own facility and does not have their products contracted out...everything Twin Lab manufactures is in its own state-of-the-art facility in Utah. They do produce these without Iron and there have been various studies out there that say you should not take Iron in a supplement, however, I personally have not found a downside to taking the ones with Iron and my family doc does have my blood tested once a year for just about everything including Iron(not sure why he does this, but happy he does:) and everything has been well within limits. I can honestly say I feel better when I take these(whether placebo-effect or reality I can't say for sure), but as long as its the truth for me I'm happy with it. I would say there is no reason not to try these, but I'm sure you will not be disappointed if you do!

After having beat cancer twice, my doctor suggested I take a multivitamin since my body doesn't process things like it used to. I was hesitant because I try to take as few medications as I can. If cancer hasn't killed me yet, I don't want the pharmaceutical company to be first. By trade I am a practicing ER/Trauma nurse with 20 years experience. I thought I knew my way around vitamins and minerals. Well, labdoor.com, proved me wrong. They provide excellent info on the supplements that the FDA doesn't regulate. First, and foremost, I only wanted 1 pill/capsule per day. I don't need 'superfoods' added in there. I just want the best vitamins and minerals that my body needs daily, nothing else. Second, I wanted my vitamins to be cost effective. Yes I know, you can get vitamins at Wall World and the dollar store for super cheap, but these don't test well. After much research my choice was these Twinlab capsules. I only need 1 capsule a day at a cost of only 15 cents/day for a premium product. The inert ingredients won't cause any issues either and the gel capsule will dissolve faster than a pill. It's also important to note that any vitamin or mineral supplement must be taken on a full stomach. They need to bind to something so they can be processed in the colon. A couple spoonfuls of yoghurt doesn't count. Take the after a good meal. Your body will absorb what it needs and get rid of the excess through the urine. Your pee will also turn a nice bright yellow. Very normal. All-in-all an excellent product from a top-notch company. I was very impressed with their lab facilities and how rigorous their lab controls are.
