My husband is not the best about remembering or taking time to take his vitamins and I have to personally remind him each day. He really needs to take better care of his body. He works long shifts from 6 am to often 6 pm each day. He is a manager at the restaurant where he works (at a busy hotel in our city) and is almost always understaffed. He is often not only the manager, but also a server, host, bus boy, dish boy, bar tender, and trash man. He has always been a hard worker, and often will have a 9-12 hour day with no break. Not healthy at all.
When I was given the opportunity to review a top quality multivitamin designed to improve overall energy and mood, while also providing the recommended nutrients and vitamins his body needs, I was thrilled to have my husband try it. Ultimate Multi from Brad King, is an advanced and complete multivitamin, providing top quality and essential nutrients in their most "bioavailable forms." It is always best to consume food in its natural, raw, whole form. Getting nutrients from synthetically derived vitamins and minerals is sadly the norm in today's traditional daily/multivitamin bottle.
We need to take vitamins in their whole, bioavailable form, because all these vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. work hand in hand to provide proper nutrition and optimal health. The body only absorbs and utilizes a small percentage of a vitamin and minerals. When you buy a cheap multivitamin, synthetic, and has many fillers in it, you are not getting much of the actual nutrient. This brand, Daily Multivitamin Ultimate Mulit by Brad King is among some of the better brands to select when deciding to take a multivitamin.
Ultimate Multi is in a vegetable capsule, which means it is in a clear capsule made from a vegetable cellulose, water and silica mixture. They can be broken apart and the powder can be sprinkled on foods or in smoothies. I am not sure if this vitamin would work just as well sprinkled on or in food as it does when taken orally by swallowing. I am not sure what the flavor would be (bitter?), it might be terrible. It would be helpful to some individuals to take it on or in food, since it is recomended to take 2 capsules twice a day. Both my husband and I take many vitamins (I take a long list of supplements and prenatal vitamins as I am feeding our son naturally.) Taking additional 4 pills is not the most pleasant, however this vitamin supplement seems to have some good ingredients so that parts wins us over.
My husband takes 2 capsules in the afternoon and 2 capsules in the evening after dinner, we usually have our evening meal later than we really should, so he takes the second/last daily dose around 8 pm. The best dosage would probably be with breakfast, and then with dinner, however, I am happy he is at least getting the vitamins into his body, even if they are not taken at a desirable time.
We both like how this product has no dyes, pesticides or harmful fillers. We seem to always check the "Made in" labels on all products. We love products made in the USA, and are always disheartened when something is not made here. Every ingredient in this product is sourced in the USA. There are no cheap, unnatural, or harmful ingredients. This seems to be a safe and top quality product.
He has been taking this for almost 4 weeks now and he has not had any ill effects, he tells me that he feels a small boost of energy than when he does not taken them. That being said, a person generally always feels better when taking vitamins than when skipping doses. I do think that this product is worth trying and better than a cheap, mass produced multivitamin laden with fillers. Our bodies deserve quality ingredients for the best health.
