why would someone want the zinc free version? do you not need the extra zinc if you already take a daily multi-vitamin?

Some people may get enough zinc with muti-vitamin or food intake. Zinc supplements, when used improperly, have extremely dangerous side effects. Zinc is a tricky vitamin because it is vital to your health and well being, but it is also detrimental if it is over-used or under-used. The recommended daily zinc requirement is 8 mg for adult women and 11 mg for adult men. Whether your zinc intake is provided by the foods you eat or the vitamins.

It's another way to get all the benefits of eating liver without having to eat liver. Plus the fact that it probably would not be very appitizing to eat liver every day. It's chock full of minerals and protiens and you can't go wrong with getting those everyday as far as I'm concerned. It's also the best way to get iron in the proper form.

The main reason I get these is because they *aren't* the giant vitamins you often see. (You need to take 3 to get the full dosage so that should tell you something).

It is good for you but if you already take iron. Look what I in the iron tablets. Then decided what is better for you. I know that price is a concern for you. but. most of the pill we take have a LOT of fillers in them. My Sis takes them.

Not specifically. This really is just multivitamin which its purpose is to plug nutrition gaps in your diet. For example, I am vegetarian so the Full B complex in this is convenient. In general always try and get your vitamins from food but I like this because I hate pills and it is fairly complete multivitamin. For hair and nail growth biotin is the best, also taking your omegas (I like the 3-6-9 personally), but no multivitamins literally just help with gaps in your diet anything else advertised is most likely hype :)

Sorry but I did'nt know there were different kinds of zinc. The bottle does'nt say what kind. I had to stop using it bcause it made me constipated ( the calcium) and sometimes I felt nausea taking it. Good luck.

What were you looking for in terms of your health condition? Sometimes, the benefits of a supplement or medication may not be readily apparent (i.e lowering blood pressure may not be something of). It's possible that vitamin D may be helping in other ways too. The customer service department can best address the issue of a free supplement but my question is why would you want more if it hasn't helped you up to this point.

Yes, good luck finding any supplement without sodium because it's used as a natural preservative in almost all vitamins to extend their shelf life. It's such a small amount that the mg's are not even listed.

I'm over 65 and a doctor advised me not to supplement iron, and so I don't want it in my vitamins. But if you want more info, I have been buying from the makers of the product for about 20 years and trust them a lot. You can go to www.thesynergycompany.com for info and contact info. Mitchell May, who started the company, seems to be an outstanding person and I trust them. I have been taking many of their products over time.

I work in the nutrition field at BlackBoxUniversal.com and can say this... The Recommended levels of all water soluble vitamins and minerals is usually much lower than what you can safely take. Vitamin C for example, should be taken at much higher levels than recommended... 2000 mg a day, in my opinion. So in regard to Zinc and Mag, these are acceptable levels, especially since this is a supplement used for building muscle or to help eliminate anxiety.

I take mine every morning when I take my vitamins & other pills. Sometimes I have already eaten and sometimes I haven't -doesn't seem to matter. I just try to keep a routine of taking them at the same time every day.

I have been taking Juice Plus for over 4 years and DO NOT take a mutlivitamin with them. I am rarely sick. I tried taking a multi vitamin with Juice Plus and after a couple of weeks started to experience gastric symptoms associated with "overdosing" on certain vitamins. I am moving to this product and I will not be suplementing with a multi vitamin. I don't believe you need one with this.

The only other brand of multi vitamins not containing Vitamin K (comparable to One a Day brand) I can find is Shopko, and I drive 30 miles to purchase them since the discount store by that name in our town closed a year or so ago. I would imagine they would be available online. Their label reads: SHOPKO "One Daily" Dietary Supplement daily wellness support. If only the vitamin manufacturers would realize there are a great many people who must avoid vitamins containing Vitamin K, due to being on such blood thinning medications as Coumadin, perhaps they would make them more readily available. Hope this information helps.

there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids vitamin was sad b/c we are vegetarians and the quality of food in the US due to GMOS and pesticides isn't great.

As someone who had her thyroid removed a few years ago, my doctor recommended that I take 2 pills a day to keep my iron level up. It worked. I have so much energy and is very regular as well as my skin feels pretty smooth. I'm now down to one a day. Just like the apple, it has kept the doctor away.

I think it's much better than a multivitamin. It is a blend of vitamins and herbs which are slowly absorbed into your system. See www.jigsawhealth.com.
