Multivitamin recommendation?

A few years ago I was using Prevention Multivitamin for Women (Prevention as in the magazine). After starting with another multivitamin and then going back to Prevention I noticed a marked difference in how I felt when using the Prevention multis: very energized, whereas regularly I feel sluggish. Unfortunately the Prevention multis were discontinued.

Right now I'm using Centrum, but I'm in the Netherlands with a more limited selection that I would have in the US.

I searched for the nutritional content of Prevention multis, and it's here: http://dietarysupplements.nlm.nih.go...en&pageD=brand

Basically, a lot more of the various Vitamin Bs than Centrum. I also have a Sunwell Vitamin B supplement that I take sometimes, and I was comparing, and the sum of Centrum + Sunwell does is not even half the total Prevention had for the B vitamins.

My hair, skin and nails also improved when using Prevention, maybe it's because of the 300 mcg of Biotin.

So can anyone recommend a multivitamin with a similar profile to the one I linked to above?

I'm not sure if you can find it in the Netherlands (maybe online?) but I lovvvve the RAW One for Women. I'm pretty sure it has all of the vitamins you are describing- it is a pretty complete vitamin. I have loads of energy and my depression has lessened as well. It's also a vegan capsule and very gentle on my stomach.

I would recommend taking a fish oil as well. It has really improved my hair and skin!

I take Biotin separately in addition to a multivitamin.

I take the ultimate one for active women. Its awesome and the lady who recommended it to me seriously knew what she was talking about.

It also depends on your age. If you are menstruating you need iron.

Thank you all.

Incidentally saw the RAW vitamins today (here in Netherlands), but they don't have the amounts I'm looking for.

I think I will find a Biotin supplement.

Initially I thought it could be the iron but the prevention ones didn't have iron to my surprise. , AnywayI'm adding more iron to my diet (such as quinoa) since I have always had problems with iron absorption.

Why don't you try finding it online.. I take Mega food I will never use generic vitiamins ever..
