The benefits of broad-spectrum vegetarian nutritional supplementation are only now starting to appear in scientific studies. A multiple vitamin and mineral supplement may close the nutritional gaps in our daily diet and may stimulate our immune system to ward off diseases. From these studies it is becoming clear that taking a multiple vitamin and mineral may prevent many chronic degenerative diseases, including heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease as well as help boost immune function and increase brain function.
Every day your body requires the necessary building blocks of nutrition. It is virtually impossible to get everything that your body requires from diet alone. In this era of modern living, you simply cannot afford not to take a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral formula. Stress, environmental pollution, second-hand cigarette smoke, and many other factors increase nutrient requirements, especially for antioxidant nutrients like vitamins C and E, selenium, and carotenes. Furthermore, there is evidence that when we take optimal levels of essential nutrients it enhances the body's healing mechanisms and overall physiological functions.

I started taking this supplement in dec 2010(present time is jan 2011). The size of the pills themselves are fairly large, but with a drink it'll go down unnoticed. One thing i do notice about this product is the taste of the pill is quite horrible in comparison with Mega Men Multi Vitamins(2 a day pill). Also, because this hi potency one pill per day it is quite strong for the average person. I find that my urine is very discolored yellow and can experience -very minor- irritation when peeing as a result of this high potency. You can combat this by taking half the pill at once.
