The Energy is Missing in the One-A-Day All-Day Energy Multivitamins

Barb Webb
OVERVIEW:

One-A-Day touts their new All-Day Energy Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement as a vitamin "For An Active Mind & Body." This vitamin supplement is designed to help sustain energy, both mentally and physically, throughout the day with a special extended-release formula.

PERSONAL REVIEW:

I had high hopes for the One-A-Day All-Day Energy Multivitamins, but sadly, the product did live up to its expectations. With an abundance of vitamins and minerals, some at 200% of the daily allowance, I feel that I am getting my daily well-rounded doses, but after three months of faithfully taking my daily supplement every morning, I have yet to see any effect on my energy levels, physically or mentally.

Not that I expected miracles, but there's not even a tiny extra zip or pep in my step.

I did note that each vitamin contains an amount of caffeine equal to a cup of coffee. If this is the prime "pep" the product utilizes, it would not have a profound effect on me as I'm rather caffeine insensitive.

The combination of vitamins, minerals, and additives may work well for some, but this is one customer who will be seeking a new daily supplement.

On the bright side, the vitamins have very little ick factor in after taste and the coating holds up well without pasting a nasty residue during swallowing. I am not the fastest pill taker, requiring a good gulp of water to surround the pill before swallowing it down. So, a vitamin that does not leave a gross taste in my mouth prior to swallowing is a huge positive.

I also dig the funky green color of the vitamins. They are attractive in an odd sort-of way.

The product also contains caffeine.

THE BOTTOM LINE:
