Well, I gave it three months and didn't notice any difference between the standard multi I had been taking. I have gone back to my old brand.

It took at least two weeks for me. I am on my second bottle now and still like them ;)

I'd say anywhere from 2-6 weeks. I used to take the Alive women's 50+ and compared the boxes on vitamin amounts. It's shocking how much more you get with these. Sure, you'll expel what you don't need but what if you need more of one or more vitamins? Loaded with B-12 for energy so I take them in the morning instead of before bed.

I've been taking these for a month. It's a multi vitamin so I don't "feel" any different on a daily basis. I have noticed a difference in my health and energy over all. It takes a few days for the vitamins to build up in your system if you haven't taken them on a regular basis. Be patient. Health doesn't happen overnight. :-)

I love this vitamin, but you need to take it every day and you will start feeling a great difference with 2 weeks, I take it along with biotin vitamin and it makes my hair, skin, nails healthier.

I have taken them for years as "nutritional insurance" just in case my diet wasn't quite "complete" and don't notice any real difference at all. I suppose I wasn't really deficient in anything but, like I said, it's insurance for me. I think the only folfs who would notice the boost are those who are really lacking in some important aspect of their diet.

Women take it too. Personally, I took one pill and cramped for 24 hours so I threw it away. If you choose to take it, hopefully you'll have a better experience.

You can feel the effects in as little as a few days depending on how deep your depression is. It is important to start with a short amount of time, like about 10 minutes in the morning or early afternoon. Research indicates that you can increase by about 5 minutes at a time for a few days at a time until you receive the desired effect. Make sure you write down your start and stop time in case you begin to feel agitated or jittery. Even one or two minutes can change the effect.Debra Anderson

I've been taking it over a year and have found my self and family have not been sick at all. I take it daily 1/2 teaspoon just like it says per day and I have found a big difference in my over all health. You will start to notice the difference after about 3 weeks of starting. Also start slow because it is strong. You may feel dizzy because it's loaded with so much nutrients so if you notice that start off every other day and then move to everyday as you get use to it. Hope this helps. Do not over due it you only need what it says. If you want u can also show your doctor to see if they suggest it or not for you. I took it to my doctor when I first started.

Definitely, you see improvement from day one. I say give it about 2 weeks and you will see your skin start to smooth out.

My system is pretty clean. I noticed a difference after the second dose which I took the very next day after the first.

It was instantaneous for me. Within minutes of taking the first pill I could literally feel my digestive system relaxing and the 'churning' issues disappeared. I did have a bit of reaction to the peppermint oil that was new... but that was a relief from what I had been feeling. I have found that my system is basically back to normal with only one pill a day. On rare occasions, depending on what I have eaten, I will take a second pill... but fully 90% of the time I only require one a day to handle the issues with IBS. The longer I have taken them the more improvement it seems to offer. This has been a life enhancing formula for me. It was instantaneous for me.

I haven't used it enough to really give you a good answer! My husband says he thinks it a "mental thing" that I just THINK I feel better after using it but I do feel that there is some relief within a few minutes - a bit tingly upon application (which he says is just distracting - sorry I'm so vague!)

Yes within a week you feel and see a difference. My feels firmer and full. I am very satisfied with this product.

I took them and honestly did not find any added energy, mood balancing, or other effects. So I stopped after several weeks and even still have some left. I had bought some at a large box store (21 count) and taken prior. Though I would give them time but nothing I could count for came from them.

I think so. I was given just a very small sample recently so I don't have extensive experience with it, but I took it internally one day when I felt so nauseous all I wanted to do was lie down. Thirty minutes after taking it, I felt fine again.

For me honestly I didn't feel nor experience side effect. Hopefully it works for you, give it a shot after 2 weeks of trying your body should tell you, you can always contact amazon , they will refund your money if your not happy, good luck , let us know how it goes give it a shot. God bless

Can't say for sure... I take it just before 'activity' begins. I'll keep it under my tongue for about a minute (directions say 20 seconds - don't seem long enough) knowing the foreplay will last at least 10-15 minutes. So I can say it is fully working by the time I really start to 'put in' work. ;-)

I agree with SirWired , The first two days mostly on the first day I took this I felt really , for lack of a better word energized . After that never felt a thing . We stopped taking this within a week or so. It still is in our refrigerator , not sure how to dispose of this the right way . I wish you luck with whatever decision you make . /=^ }

I guess it depends on your tolerance and how long you plan on sitting down. I have sat on it..but only for a few seconds. If you're comfortable and it feels okay go for it :)

I can not tell you how long before I notice as I started several supplements at one time. I can say that when I ran out, I could tell a difference after just a few days. I was very happy to get my second bottle in the mail.
