Dr. Formulated Multi+ Energy Support, 30 Vegetarian Capsules

I love this brand; I have purchased many times and will continue to do so. Great quality good flavor and easy to swallow. I give this to my autistic son to help with good digestion as he does not chew his food well. Thanks for making these chewable!

I like this formula, it's a good general Multivitamin. Besides the multivitamin, it has a probiotic and then the adaptogen Rhodiola. They also added some caffeine which is about a cup of coffee worth. I already drink coffee so that is not anything I care about in the mix, but the Probiotic and Rhodiola add real value to the forumula, This forumula is promoted as "fermented Liposomal" both of which sound good. My understanding is that Liposomal delivery of vitamins is considered a more bioavailable approach. Now, 50 mg of Rhodiola is not that much and it's not clear if this is a standardized version- it could be stronger or weaker than most. But if standardized, then 200mg 2x per day is considered a full dose. Overall, I'm not sure if a single capsule of this does much more than your average multivitamin. If you want caffeine and don't drink coffee or tea that may have an effect. In general, this is a light dosage of vitamins and even lighter of Rhodiola and Probiotic. Really one might prefer to take two of these per day but be careful about not taking past 2pm due to the caffeine. For the cost, I think one would do better to take an inexpensive multivitamin, a good full dose probiotic and a good full dose of Rhodiola and it would cost less per day with more effect. That said and price/dose aside, it's a nice formula.

Good product, good price

I thought it was genius to put 65mg of caffeine in a multivitamin supplement. Not only do I not forget to take my vitamin, but I look forward to it every morning. The product provides a great blend of vitamins and minerals as well as a morning boost with as much caffeine as a cup of tea. I also like the formulation of this product. You don't get super doses of fat soluble vitamins which makes it a multivitamin you can take every day. The product I received was very fresh, it didn't have any funny smells, and the clear capsule allows you to see the ubiquitous blend in each one. I do like the capsule style multivitamins because you know they will dissolve in the stomach unlike those hard multivitamins where you are never really sure they have been broken down. One of the downsides of this product is probably the size of the capsule. It is a little bit larger, so if you have any issues swallowing pills, this may be a difficult one. Otherwise, if you do not have any issues swallowing pills, you will have no issues I actually never tried Garden of Life multivitamins, and I am extremely glad I had this opportunity. The brand regularly shows up on consumer lab tests and performs to specification. I really like this product, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Gave me bright red spots all over my skin, made me nauseous, and my skin felt hot. No allergies

I love Garden of Life's supplements and I generally find them to be of superb quality, but this one is really difficult for me. The flavor isn't worse than any other high quality vitamin, and it's easy enough to swallow. It causes my stomach to be upset, and doesn't provide me with energy/focus. Everyone responds differently to different substances, so YMMV, but there is something in this multi that doesn't agree with me.

Yes, caffeine in a multivitamin. I love my coffee in the morning, so I don't really need caffeine in my multi, but if you aren't a huge fan or coffee or, say, a second cup, but want a caffeine boost in the morning, you might love this. I have been drinking less coffee in the morning while taking these. These are also derived from whole foods and are liposomal, which is supposed to help with absorption. I've never noticed any effects, positive or negative, from taking a multivitamin. I do it for insurance, so to speak. Aside from all of the above, this one is solid, basic multivitamin, standard minerals, B-complex, plus the caffeine. It's a bit pricey but could be worth it if you are replacing expensive coffee and/or feel benefits from the liposomal/whole food formula.

Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Multi+ Energy Support: Fermented Liposomal Multivitamin + Green Coffee Bean Extract, Rhodiola & Probiotics. I have always read positive reviews about Garden of Life vitamins and supplements so I was happy to give these a try. I honestly prefer gummy vitamins as I have issues with capsules feeling like they get stuck in my throat. I am happy to say that I have not had any issues swallowing these capsules. The supplement does not leave any weird aftertaste and has not led to any GI upset (I can get very nauseated from vitamins (prenatal, Centrum). I drink one cup of green tea in the morning, otherwise the only caffeine I get is from chocolate. Too much caffeine makes me anxious and irritable, I experienced neither with this product. I do not feel any different after taking these than after other multivitamins, maybe it takes a few months of use to achieve the intended results. I had to do a little research on liposomal vitamins, if it actually helps target where the vitamins are directed that should be valuable in how the vitamins are utilized by our bodies.
