Pure EncapsulationsO.N.E. Multivitamin - Once Daily Multivitamin with Antioxidant Complex Metafolin, CoQ10, and Lutein to Support Vision, Cognitive Function, and Cellular Health* - 30 Capsules

First things first, this is a great multivitamin. I (22F) started taking it to help treat my telogen effluvium (hair loss caused by stress/hormone changes), along with Iron-C and ashwagandha supplements from the same brand, and I’m happy to say that ALL my hair is growing back, good as new, after just a few weeks! However, there are a few things I wish I’d known before I started taking this one.First, since it’s so jam-packed with ingredients, each pill is going to be insanely potent and have a powerful, noticeable effect on your body from the moment it hits your stomach. Bear in mind, I am a HUGE skeptic when it comes to taking any kind of supplements—before I got TE, the only things I’d ever taken were Flintstones vitamins—so I was pretty suspicious of all the reviews on this one claiming that it made people jittery and energized immediately after taking just one. I thought surely these people were suffering from the placebo effect or forgetting that they’d taken it along with a cup of coffee or something equally preposterous. Boy was I wrong. These things really do slam into your system like a live wire! Unlike some of the others in this review section, I don’t find it uncomfortable or disruptive to my day-to-day in any way, but it is certainly hard to forget about.Second, the TASTE! Ugh. I have to plug my nose when I’m taking it, and I don’t let go until after I’ve swallowed, it’s that awful! It kinda tastes/smells like a stale old barnyard. Imagine the smell of hay mixed with a blossoming Bradford pear tree (the ones with the little white flowers whose odors are nothing like a pear). No bueno. But easy enough to work around if you don’t mind a slight ear-popping sensation when you swallow. Heaven forbid you have to taste a burp with it still undigested in your stomach, but that’s the worst of it.Now, I’ve saved the worst for last, and it’s directed specifically towards anyone with ADHD: DO NOT TAKE THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUR MEDICATION!!! If you take a stimulant medication of any kind for any reason, PLEASE heed my warning. I’ve made this mistake twice now and both times I wished I could just die so I could escape the indescribable pain I was in. The experience only lasts about 15 minutes to half an hour, but the whole time you’ll be groaning and writhing, clutching your stomach, heavy and labored breathing, sweat literally pouring out over your entire body, as you endure an acute short version of the same kinda pain one might feel at the peak of their worst period cramp ever. If you’re a woman then you know the type of pain I’m talking about and will steer clear at any cost. If you’re a man and you have an Adderall Rx, feel free to take this multivitamin at the same time to get a feel for what menstrual pains are like, then remember the traumatic horror of it all whenever you’re tempted to roll your eyes at a woman who says she’s really going through it. It’s just awful. I don’t know exactly how or why these two pills interact with each other in such an explosive way, so I can’t give any advice on when it’s safe to take one after the other, but I haven’t had too much trouble unless I take them within 45ish minutes of each other. There was one time where I took my Adderall (30mg IR for reference) about an hour before I took my vitamins, and I did feel the tiniest brush of the same sensation, but it was just a twinge—maybe a minute or two long, and exponentially milder than the two times I took them together or nearly back to back. The worst of it was when I took the two simultaneously, like in the same handful with the same gulp of water to wash them down. The second time, I took my Adderall about 10 minutes prior to the multivitamin, and it was pretty much the same amount of pain, but it felt like it was over just a little bit faster. This leads me to suspect it has something to do with absorption or digestion rates, so from here on out I will be making absolute sure that I don’t let these things anywhere near each other in my stomach. Am I going to stop taking either of them altogether? No! But I hope my experience can serve as a cautionary tale to those in my same position and prevent them from enduring the same horrific fate.

I saw a review for these vitamins a few years ago. I’ve been taking them daily. Recently, on our 3 week cruise to Japan and Taiwan, I stopped taking them. I was afraid to take them thru customs. I could definitely tell the difference. Once we got home, I started taking them and after a couple of weeks, I felt like my old self. I’ve been reading about vitamins and your body from Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s articles and I see that our daily food does not supply everything you need.

This brand was recommended to me by a doctor. The supplement seems good. I have been using multivitamins for a long time. So far they show up on time every time and don't disappoint.

Easy to take. I’m glad it only requires one pill a day. I can’t say I notice or feel any big difference while taking them. It’s been about 2 months. Hopefully I feel stronger and more energized, etc by month 4.

It was tricky to find a vitamin that ticked all the boxes and this one does.

I absolutely love this vitamin, been taken it everyday for years now. The whole brand is great 👍 5 stars

My daily vitamin. This seems like a great brand. I’ll continue to buy from this company.

I am not 100% sure if taking this vitamin was the cause, but within a couple of hours after taking this and their vitamin D and K supplement (from the same brand), I felt very nauseous and dizzy. I had stomach pain, and it was very uncomfortable. Eventually, I couldn't take the pain anymore, so I ended up throwing up everything that I ate in my previous meal. It was very uncomfortable and scary as well. I am not 100% sure if this supplement was the cause of it, but I never throw up, and once I took this along with their vitamin DNK supplement, it made me feel extremely nauseous and I ended up puking everywhere. Not sure if there was any type of mold in the packaging or on the actual capsules or if the dosage is too high for certain vitamins. Damn.
