Rainbow Light - 50+ Mini-Tablet Food-Based Multivitamin - Age-defense Formula Probiotic and Antioxidant Formula; Vitamins and Minerals Support Immune, Heart, Skin, Eye, Bone and Prostate - 180 Tablets

This is a wonderful product for those of us who find it difficult and even dangerous to swallow LARGE supplements. This supplement is shaped oval to facilitate swallowing, it is enteric coated to slide easily down the throat and it leaves no after taste. I am not a chemist so I can only say that the supplements do have some value in fortifying me but I have to trust the Rainbow Company. By the way, other than gummies I find no equally easy multi-vitamin to consume!!! And given there is a health need to consume some other supplement forms, such as collagen, I am tired of sweet gummies.

It is one of the best multivitamins I have ever used.It does not irritate my stomach.

I got these for my mom a while ago and they are perfect for her needs. She used to love Rainbow Light, but stopped taking their Only Once daily, or the Women's One, and really didn't think she could use any of their multies due to them popping in various herbs like Dong Quai and Gingko which she does not want. She just wanted a straight, quality vitamin without herbs and spices. So the search began. I also looked at New Chapter, but the only one they have that's "plain" is the Tiny Tabs. Their potency is pretty weak, IMHO, due to them being "food-sourced" not "food-based." I checked out Vitamin Code, Mega Food, Country Life, and pretty much any food-related product that Whole Foods carries. lol So, the search went on. And here it ends. At first I was hesitant about her taking RL Mini-tabs because they leave out iron, copper, vitamin k, paba and iodine. I thought we all needed these in every supplement to make it complete, but after some research and looking at her fairly healthy diet, it really depends on where you are in life, especially being post-menopausal and therefore with no periods to relieve normal iron build-up. So, no extra iron needed. And no one really needs extra copper or paba as these are so trace that we all surely get enough from food. As for vitamin k and iodine, yes, we need these, but can get them in food (paprika comes to mind) and salt and fish, etc. She was pretty amazed that they managed to take out virtually all of the items that could cause her problems. She takes blood thinners and heart meds, so she has to be careful. The only "extras" you're getting are harmless and may be beneficial to many: Spirulina algae, bioflavanoids, a moderate helping of probiotics (I take Renew Life's as well to boost my count), 1,000 units of vitamin D3, 1,000 mcg of lutein, 500 mcg of lycopene, digestive support from enzymes, and a sensible level of CoQ10 in this formulation. That's a huge plus. So, as far as what's in it and what isn't, it makes sense. I love the fact that they are food-based, she likes that they smell like the rosemary that's in them (to keep them fresh) and they are such a great size. Some have said they would rather have a one-a-day type vitamin, but studies have shown that you really should break up your vitamin intake into at least two parts during the day. Three makes even more sense. I admire Rainbow Light for answering the fastest-growing segment of our populations' need for a potent multi. Great job, RL!

They are easy to swallow and don't taste bad. They do NOT give me a belly ache if I take them on an empty stomach, which is great! I wish they had iodine and vitamin K in them, and maybe a little less of the B-vitamins. I have not found a better multivitamin in easy to swallow pills. I didn't notice a change in how I felt after taking them. I just take them as a little insurance to hopefully fill in the gaps in my imperfect diet.

This is a very complete vitamin, and the size is small, easy to swallow. There are so many products out there, that it is hard to know what to try. I strongly recommend this one! With any new multi-vitamin, I have learned it is good to start with the lowest possible dose and work up so you don't feel any effects from jumping to too much, too soon. My hubby and I both are taking this and have had absolutely no trouble handling the long list of ingredients in this powerhouse vitamin. We both feel better since we started taking this regularly.. Our son, only in his late 20s, had been having prostate issues (from serious Lyme Disease) that no specialist had been able to help -- he is now taking a Rainbow Light vitamin for someone his age. For the first time in years, he is now able to sleep through the night without having to get up to use the bathroom. This is a very good line!

This is an excellent product! It has a very comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals and other nutritional ingredients that are useful for the 50+ age range. I like that it also includes probiotics and ingredients for digestive aid, which is great because the digestion seems to be more of a problem as you age. They are very easy to swallow and because of the digestive aids I like to take at least one with each big meal. The dosage is 3 per day so I usually take two with lunch and 1 with dinner, unless I need the extra energy and then I will take all 3 by lunch. The price on these is extremely good for all the nutritional components that it provides. It even includes greens such as kale, spinach, dandelion and spirulina and also beet, not sure if that is the root or the greens, but either is an excellent addition. It also includes rosemary essential oil, which I like because scientific studies have shown it to be very beneficial. CoQ10, lutein and lycopene are also included and they are each vital components as well. As I said, a very comprehensive list of ingredients and an excellent price!

These are my favorite multi; the small size is easy to swallow, and I I take they thru-out the day for maximum absorption, vs one giant pill for the whole day
