Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin - Once Daily Multivitamin with Antioxidant Complex Metafolin, CoQ10, and Lutein to Support Vision, Cognitive Function, and Cellular Health* - 120 Capsules

First things first, this is a great multivitamin. I (22F) started taking it to help treat my telogen effluvium (hair loss caused by stress/hormone changes), along with Iron-C and ashwagandha supplements from the same brand, and I’m happy to say that ALL my hair is growing back, good as new, after just a few weeks! However, there are a few things I wish I’d known before I started taking this one. First, since it’s so jam-packed with ingredients, each pill is going to be insanely potent and have a powerful, noticeable effect on your body from the moment it hits your stomach. Bear in mind, I am a HUGE skeptic when it comes to taking any kind of supplements—before I got TE, the only things I’d ever taken were Flintstones vitamins—so I was pretty suspicious of all the reviews on this one claiming that it made people jittery and energized immediately after taking just one. I thought surely these people were suffering from the placebo effect or forgetting that they’d taken it along with a cup of coffee or something equally preposterous. Boy was I wrong. These things really do slam into your system like a live wire! Unlike some of the others in this review section, I don’t find it uncomfortable or disruptive to my day-to-day in any way, but it is certainly hard to forget about. Second, the TASTE! Ugh. I have to plug my nose when I’m taking it, and I don’t let go until after I’ve swallowed, it’s that awful! It kinda tastes/smells like a stale old barnyard. Imagine the smell of hay mixed with a blossoming Bradford pear tree (the ones with the little white flowers whose odors are nothing like a pear). No bueno. But easy enough to work around if you don’t mind a slight ear-popping sensation when you swallow. Heaven forbid you have to taste a burp with it still undigested in your stomach, but that’s the worst of it. Now, I’ve saved the worst for last, and it’s directed specifically towards anyone with ADHD: DO NOT TAKE THIS AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUR MEDICATION!!! If you take a stimulant medication of any kind for any reason, PLEASE heed my warning. I’ve made this mistake twice now and both times I wished I could just die so I could escape the indescribable pain I was in. The experience only lasts about 15 minutes to half an hour, but the whole time you’ll be groaning and writhing, clutching your stomach, heavy and labored breathing, sweat literally pouring out over your entire body, as you endure an acute short version of the same kinda pain one might feel at the peak of their worst period cramp ever. If you’re a woman then you know the type of pain I’m talking about and will steer clear at any cost. If you’re a man and you have an Adderall Rx, feel free to take this multivitamin at the same time to get a feel for what menstrual pains are like, then remember the traumatic horror of it all whenever you’re tempted to roll your eyes at a woman who says she’s really going through it. It’s just awful. I don’t know exactly how or why these two pills interact with each other in such an explosive way, so I can’t give any advice on when it’s safe to take one after the other, but I haven’t had too much trouble unless I take them within 45ish minutes of each other. There was one time where I took my Adderall (30mg IR for reference) about an hour before I took my vitamins, and I did feel the tiniest brush of the same sensation, but it was just a twinge—maybe a minute or two long, and exponentially milder than the two times I took them together or nearly back to back. The worst of it was when I took the two simultaneously, like in the same handful with the same gulp of water to wash them down. The second time, I took my Adderall about 10 minutes prior to the multivitamin, and it was pretty much the same amount of pain, but it felt like it was over just a little bit faster. This leads me to suspect it has something to do with absorption or digestion rates, so from here on out I will be making absolute sure that I don’t let these things anywhere near each other in my stomach. Am I going to stop taking either of them altogether? No! But I hope my experience can serve as a cautionary tale to those in my same position and prevent them from enduring the same horrific fate.

I started taking Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 Without Iron after discovering I was low in several minerals. I ordered this one for my husband and at times I take this one as well. While it’s not a prescription, it has been surprisingly therapeutic my recent lab results show my deficiencies are improving. The formula is clean, high quality, and easy on the stomach. I like that it’s free of unnecessary additives and iron, which can be irritating for some people. It’s definitely more potent and effective than typical store multivitamins, and I plan to keep it in my routine long term.

These Pure magnesium glycinate help with my sleep issues tremendously! I keep a supply of them on hand and have shared and recommended them to family and friends. Great product! Highly recommend.

Pure products are quality supplements and shipments are quick. Products are a bit expensive but quality is never in question!

I would give it a 5 star because the quality of ingredients is too notch. Was originally suggested by my functional medicine doctor even! But the taste / smell is FOUL. Smells like urine. I have other types of vitamins from this brand and they smell similar so it must be the casing. I have to take them with milk because it not only helps cover the taste but helps with the stomach ache I get after taking it. DO NOT TAKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Atleast take them with milk… Very good for you, just tastes awful.

1 st eat with whole meal not just a banana.. strong on your stomach could feel nauseas 1 HR LATER .. BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT AMAZING PURPOSEFULL DOES ITS JOB MY HOME OF 3 WE ALL TAKE IT KEEPS US GOING ALL DAY 🙏THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS BRAND!!

Amazing quality multi you pay for and feel. I take it with my largest meal of the day, and it goes down easy.

I think these are high quality. I need the Methylated vitamins. I do much better in life when I have them daily. I trust this brand. I can't say that they directly raise my energy level. They don't taste bad to me. They taste like every normal capsule one can take. I don't take them to improve sleep quality but I don't experience any negative sleep effects. The dosage works well for me. But of course everyone should talk to their doctor and make sure this is the right thing for them and their needs. They aren't small but I haven't found them hard to swallow.
