If I didn't take a multi-vitamin, I'd be dead, February 4, 2008
This review is from: One a Day women's multi vitamin 250 tablets (Health and Beauty)
My review title is a joke between one of my sisters and I because I eat junk food a lot and am well-known for ordering chicken strips at *any* restaurant I go to. Fresh fruits and vegetables are not a part of my diet at all (on more than one occasion I've had Doritos for dinner). I didn't start taking the One-A-Day Women's multivitamin until about 18 months ago. One of my sisters and I were talking about how thin & brittle our nails were, and how thick our other sister's nails were, and we made the connection that our other sister took a multivitamin, while we did not. So I started taking One-A-Day, and within the month, I could see a thicker ridge of nail growing out. It was so weird, and yet so disconcerting to think my thin nails were caused by a vitamin deficiency. Even now, when I go for a bit without the vitamin, thinner nail will grow out until I remember to start taking the One-A-Day again. If my vitamin deficiency caused thin nails, what was it doing to the rest of my body?
One-A-Day Women's is a well-rounded vitamin. My only problem is that I have to take multivitamins on a full stomach otherwise they'll cause an upset stomach, so much that I will toss my cookies. I mean, I have to have a really full stomach... if I'm really hungry and just eat a bagel or a bowl of cereal, and then take this vitamin, I will get nauseous and have to rest my head on my desk and take deep breaths for 15 minutes until the feeling passes - so I try to take my vitamin after having a big plate of waffles or a bacon cheeseburger (see? I told you my eating habits weren't the best). This happens with any multivitamin for me, not just One-A-Day, but it's something to keep in mind when taking a multivitamin for the first time, you probably don't want to take it with an empty stomach.
*Update* I'm still taking the Women's One-A-Day, and a few months ago I suggested to my husband that he should start taking the Men's One-A-Day. He too has the same "thicker nail growing out" bonus from taking the Men's One-A-Day.

GOOD VITAMIN TO TAKE BUT MAKES ME SICK!, March 28, 2010
This review is from: One a Day women's multi vitamin 250 tablets (Health and Beauty)
These vitamins are good, they have changed my hair and nails for the better. I also have noticed a big difference in my energy level and menstral cycle. The only thing I dont like is that I absolutely have to take this on a completely FULL stomach. I would never be dumb enough to take on an empty stomach, but even when I take after a small meal I will feel sick. Its crucial I eat a big full-filling meal first. I have experienced nausea so bad that Ive actually thrown up after taking this. I have even gotten diarrhea before because i took this with only a small breakfast. Very important how you take it. Other than that my only concern is why in the world would anyone pay $30 for these vitamins online?? You can get them at the grocery store for like $6 bucks! Just something to think about...

all women should take one a day!, October 6, 2007
This review is from: One a Day women's multi vitamin 250 tablets (Health and Beauty)
I heard about this vitamin from my mom who has been taking it. I have been experiencing lots of exhaustion and worsening pms in the recent few years (I am in my mid twenties). My mom told me she has a lot of energy since she has take this vitamin and urges me to try it. I have been taking the vitamins for about a month now and really feel the difference (I don't know if it's the vitamin or just a psychological effect). My pms symptoms also got noticeably better this month without the usual exhaustion, frustration and bloated feeling 1-2 weeks before hand. This is my personal experience, and I am hoping it will last!
