Swisse Women's Ultivite 50+ 90 Tablets

Before purchase , I asked the customer service if I spend over $150 will I still get the free gift. Customer service told me I will still get the free gift. But when received the items, no free gift at all. inside the free gift there is a bottle of vitamin that I would like to try, and if is good I would like to purchase more. This is my first time trying out Swisse brand and is such a disappointment experience. I am considering refund my purchase and get other brands vitamin instead.

A Good SUPPLEMENT to a good diet and exercise

I used to be a bit of a body builder, high user of supplements and lots of exercise. I had so many bottles of stuff it was almost impossible just to keep up with the requirements every day. My favorite quote was Minimum Daily Requirement? Who wants to be MINIMUM. I was in great shape of course and almost never sick or even feeling bad, but now I'm older and not quite so dedicated to premium fitness. I feel like if you're going to try and get everything you need in a single pill, you're either going to be disappointed or fooled. So I feel like the key word here is supplement”. Here is ONE pill, ONE time a day that will supplement your diet. Make sure you eat right, good food and the right amount, supplement that with this pill daily and possibly a few individual ... MoreI used to be a bit of a body builder, high user of supplements and lots of exercise.

Here is ONE pill, ONE time a day that will supplement your diet. Make sure you eat right, good food and the right amount, supplement that with this pill daily and possibly a few individual vitamins you're afraid you're not getting in your diet, exercise as much as you feel keeps you energetic, and that's about all that could be expected of you. This has a good quantity of most of what you don't get in a good diet... so you're getting your money's worth. Anything more is going to require you to take a lot more BIG pills, more often. Pill size is not too large, a little slippery, so they go down easily... Take them with your meal and other than the chemical smell, you won't notice it at all.

Chock Full

I have never taken any multivitamin that had as many ingredients as this Swisse Premium Ultivite Multivitamin for Women has, but do you really need all of this, and on a daily basis? There are 3 panels listed of Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbs, but 2 of them do not show the RDA, or Recommended Daily Allowance, because there isn't any. The bottle looks kind of old fashioned, and the smell of the multivitamins, when you open the bottle is kind of off putting, but for how much this Multivitamin contains, I am surprised that the size of each tablet isn't larger, and that you only need to take one per day. I didn't have any problem swallowing the Multivitamin, and thankfully the odor doesn't linger after you swallow it. After taking this Multivitamin for about 10 days now, ... MoreI have never taken any multivitamin that had as many ingredients as this Swisse Premium Ultivite Multivitamin for Women has, but do you really need all of this, and on a daily basis?

After taking this Multivitamin for about 10 days now, I think it has given me some much needed energy, which I desperately need. There have been no ill effects from taking this Multivitamin, but I always take any vitamins after I have eaten. You definitely do not want to take this Multivitamin on an empty stomach. This product is Made in Germany.

East Meets West

These one-a-day supplements have all the basic RDA of common Western vitamins and minerals, as well as a bunch of Eastern-style herbal extracts (e.g., Ginkgo, Ginseng, Bilberry, Fennel, Green Tea, Sasparilla, Parsley, etc.). The tablets themselves are very large, pale green and the outer coating has peppermint oil, which gives them a mild, somewhat unique fragrance. Unlike many other multi-vitamins, the dosages of the various vitamins seem reasonable rather than tending toward overkill. My husband has been taking them for a week and he hasn't really noticed an increase in his energy, but he also hasn't suffered any digestive issues either. And while they aren't as inexpensive as buying a bottle of private label store brand vitamins, I would say the cost is fairly ... MoreThese one-a-day supplements have all the basic RDA of common Western vitamins and minerals, as well as a bunch of Eastern-style herbal extracts (e.g., Ginkgo, Ginseng, Bilberry, Fennel, Green Tea, Sasparilla, Parsley, etc.).

And while they aren't as inexpensive as buying a bottle of private label store brand vitamins, I would say the cost is fairly moderate for nearly two months worth of pills. If you're interested in non-traditional medicine and want your vitamins, minerals and herbs all in one convenient pill, these are definitely for you. Overall, a nice one stop shop for all your supplement needs.

Low Dose Vitamins

Prior to receiving these I had never heard of the Swisse brand. I decided to check them out, just to make sure that the ingredients weren't being sourced from China or places known to produce products of questionable quality when it comes to things like food and supplements. Turns out that Swisse is actually a fairly large company based in Australia. Nicole Kidman is one of their spokesmodels and their line includes quite a broad array of supplements. In other words, they look legit. The product itself looks pretty much like your everyday multivitamin. It includes a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and quite a few herbs. Unlike most vitamins manufactured in the USA, the company gives virtually no information on how their vitamins are produced or where their ... MorePrior to receiving these I had never heard of the Swisse brand.

Unlike most vitamins manufactured in the USA, the company gives virtually no information on how their vitamins are produced or where their ingredients come from. There are no statements about whether their vitamins are from natural foods or synthetic. No information on whether the product uses GMOs, are organic, gluten-free, vegetarian or country of origin for the herbs. These are all attributes that most supplement manufacturers go out of their way to mention. When taking a close look at the label, the amount of vitamins included are not very high at all. Many of them fall well short of the Recommended Daily Allowance, which is basically the minimum amount of any vitamin you need to have in order to keep from suffering from disease.It is especially deficient in vitamins D and E. So, if you are depending on a single pill to provide all of the vitamins you need for the day, this product probably isn't the best choice. It does have a lot of herbs that you do not typically find in most multivitamins. So, perhaps, this could be a supplement for your existing vitamin supplement. It wouldn't be the primary product I use though. The pills themselves are a bit larger than average but easy to swallow. They do have a distinct smell to them, but it really isn't all that noticeable. I have not felt any effects from these supplements as of yet. Honestly, considering the extremely low doses that this product contains I would not expect any changes to be noticeable anyway.

Nutritional insurance for deficiencies or malabsorption issues

No matter what anecdote I provide, the case for multivitamins, the most popular dietary supplement, isn’t great. What intrigued me about the Swisse Men's Daily Ultivite is its formula’s focus on men's health to help maintain energy levels, mental alertness, and provide support during stress.” The multivitamin includes 53 separate ingredients — the tablet size confirms this massive formula — with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and herbs specifically for men's health to help maintain energy levels, mental alertness, and provide support during stress.” I started taking this multivitamin in the evening after my last meal of the day. The components focused on energy and mental alertness interfered with my sleep pattern, so I adjusted dosage after breakfast. There were ... MoreNo matter what anecdote I provide, the case for multivitamins, the most popular dietary supplement, isn’t great.

The components focused on energy and mental alertness interfered with my sleep pattern, so I adjusted dosage after breakfast. There were no other side effects to report. The tablet is large (see the picture I uploaded where I placed the tablets next to standard ibuprofen for comparison) but not difficult to swallow. The tablets are coated with spearmint oil to reduce the medicinal taste. Overall, the tablet isn’t unpleasant to take. If the size is dauting, split the tablet; problem solved. Swisse Men's Daily Ultivite provides nutritional insurance but can’t replace a wholesome diet. Medical advice stands firm on this simple direction: Eat fruits and vegetables.” Fiber! Still, if nutritional deficiencies or malabsorption issues are your concern for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the Swisse Men's Daily Ultivite addresses those needs. One final note: multivitamins can interfere with prescribed medication. Be sure to check with your doctor first. Rating: Three stars

Swisse vitamins for men

One of the reasons I wanted to try these vitamins is because of the unusual list of ingredients. My husband and I are armchair body builders and we often discuss the use of supplments vs real foods. He takes a lot of different supplements and I insist that the real foods are better because they have micronutrients that probably haven't been discovered and named yet. However this has a list of ingredients that made me take notice, such as 24 micro grams of Gotu Kola or 7.5 micro grams of Horsetail. I'm not familiar with these items but the serving is so tiny that I didn't think they would do any harm. Well, my husband has been taking these for a bit over a week and he can't say he feels any different. When you feel run down and someone asks, have you taken your ... MoreOne of the reasons I wanted to try these vitamins is because of the unusual list of ingredients.

I never understood that, vitamins don't make you feel different but I kind of thought these would. They don't. They still serve their purpose of having above and beyond the RDA (which is helpful if your particular body needs might need more than the RDA, and you urinate the rest) so he's going to continue to take and see if anything changes.
