Which iherb multi vits are the best?
You personally used any of these?
I've tried swisse and Blackmore's many years ago, and the taste was so horrible that I really struggled to use them.
Finally settled on the Costco version as I could easily stomach it.
I really need something that has no horrible taste (it might have been the fish).
@ad62623: Yeah. Ive been using 21st century for a while.
They have really good reviews everywhere, reasonable price and apparently iherb is supposed to lab test these routinely for purity
@easternculture: What about taste specifically though. I know it's subjective but would you say it'ds a strong flavour?
Id rather a less potent tablet that I take everyday, than a good one I subconsciously avoid.
@ad62623: Its a tablet. You swallow it. Should give you an after taste. Havent noticed anything to be honest
These all have Vit A (beta carotene is preferred as excess is not stored), synthetic vit E (not natural), low B complex, poor forms of selenium & zinc. Way too much iron in one of them, the other has a bit too much as well.
Nice try sneaking in your referral lol
@easternculture: i just copy pasted from the app that I am not logged in on. Not everyone is trying to make 2 bucks
Edit: Here’s the link that I posted above

Usually when you share your referral link, your referral code is listed where it says “any?”
i was just about to write something similar, this is absolute bottom of the barrel multi, also the spectrum covered is poor and severely under dosed.
for a top tier multi check out the Life Extension one, though it says 2/day due to its potency most go with 1/day
check out the Life Extension one
Eg these?

Yes that one, it's so potent i actually had to take 1 a day on and off or else id get acne due to the massive dose of B12 so one bottle would last me ages, but YMMV.
I wouldn't take this one purely as it has selenium yeast (partially inorganic) which can affect its absorption in presence of high levels of vitamin C. You don't want unabsorbed selenium floating around your system. Selenomethionine is the best organic form.
it's also another reason why many says multis are a scam because of cheap crap like this which literally does next to nothing if you only take 1 or 2 a day, yeh you get what you pay for
Although iherb ships from overseas and min $80 spend for free shipping, so a bit of a tradeoff.
I buy in bulk, usually 6 months supply of what i need at a time
can you share your shopping list with us? please…

Been taking these. Piss looks like nuclear waste but they seem alright. Need a big meal to take them with though as they give me nausea otherwise
Too much fat soluble Vit A (beta carotene is preferred as excess is not stored), synthetic vit E (not natural), too high B2 (excess goes out coloured in urine) as well as some other B's, poor forms of selenium & zinc, too much iron.
Do you have any recommendations on a good one or an alternative in multiple separate for a decent price?
Any suggestions for a better alternative greatly appreciated. I have no idea about this stuff
LOL @ taking a multivitamin with B12 as cyanocobalamin in it.
Care to elaborate?
How does this compare with other Australian brands?
If you want something good quality and Australian look at Ethical Nutrients. Expensive but not overpriced in my opinion.
If you want to buy a brand that is average quality and spends millions in marketing go for Swisse or Blackmores
Cenovis is the same level as supermarket home brand.
If you are happy to buy from overseas, Life Extension, Jarrows, Solgar, Now are good brands
So weird the garlic horseradish bit C is still not halved.

I had to go price match with Coles at CW 2 bottles 2 days ago
Hmmm, take two tablets
So really it is just 100 doses
hmm discussion about iherb is intersting but too bad free shipping over 80 only.
maybe after i cleaned up all my vitamins i can try buy from them in bulk
Why are Aussie multivitamins so weak compared to US ones… Is it a regulation thing?
Competition and regulation.
The companies that make products based on modern recommendations (rather than RDI% from 50 year old textbooks) charge very high prices or only sell through naturopaths. Consequently these products don't sell well, and noone bothers to compete.
Regulation comes in, not in preventing higher dosage products being made but in preventing advertising direct to consumers. There are only a handful of ingredients that cannot be sold direct to consumers locally but are available overseas. However the USA is one of the only countries in the world that allows any ingredient to be advertised, including prescription medicines. This has allowed a very large market in 'complimentary' medicines to develop, often with dubious effectiveness- regulation only focuses on harm.
I take these and I get heartburn. Is this normal
No
These are truely pathetic in terms of the amounts of individual ingredients they have in per tablet which stopped me from buying them when i saw these at coles. You would need to take at least 5 tablets to get the equivalent of what you would buy at iherb for a few dollars more
