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..
