For years i've taken a one a day multivitamin. Through the advice of friends they suggested I take a more complete multivitamin due to being in the gym frequently and weight training several times a week. I purchased a 120 pill bottle for $34.99 which made me hesitant first due to the cost. Now I consider it money well spent. You take 2 pills a day and I break it up into 1 in the morning and 1 with dinner. Since switching over to opti-women I find I have a bit more energy in the gym and it doesn't have a funny after taste. It's also easier on my stomach when I take it. The only thing I noticed which was odd when I switched over was that my pee turned neon yellow. This went away after about a week. I guess it was just my body getting used to it!
