THORNE Basic Nutrients 2/Day – Comprehensive Daily Multivitamin with Optimal Bioavailability – Vitamin and Mineral Formula – Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free – 60 Capsules – 30 Servings

Great vitamins
I have taken countless vitamins and various brands over the past decade. These are by far my favorite and I have now reordered several times. I have noticed no afternoon crash when working as I have always experienced usually when I’m working. I will continue to use. The only downside as other had mentioned was the smell. It hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I opened the packaged. Even my dogs ran over. I’ve never had smelly vitamins previously. But other than that, these are great and I will continue to take.

Great product, rough on stomach
Overall vitamin/nutrient content is fantastic. I only take 1/day to supplement with a balanced diet. As others have stated, these smell horrible.Biggest drawback – they are very rough on your stomach. I have an iron stomach, where nothing really makes me sick (switching alcohols, spicy foods, dairy, etc.). Even though I’m only taking 1/day and with food, I still get a solid 15 minute spurt of pure nausea to the point where if I didn’t drink enough water or eat enough with it, I start to feel like I will throw up. A few times where I’ve taken two just exacerbates the feeling. Be sure to eat something solid and drink plenty of water before taking these. A single yogurt cup is not enough, and drinking mostly coffee without water will only make it worse.This sounds like a mostly negative review despite the 4 stars, but the vitamin overall is doing its job! My intention is to share my experience/trade-off going with these highly rated vitamins before spending the money.

Beware of these they cause anxiety and depression
So originally I was referred to these by a trusted website prone on the topic men’s health. I myself took it upon and started taking them when I was turning 25 I am in the navy and was going on deployment I needed to make sure I was getting proper nutrition since the boat food offers none. Well a few months in I started getting really anxious all the time it was very strange, and then my mind started to race and by race I mean it was just bombarded with random thoughts some I was just like where are these coming from? I ignored all these. I kept going on with them but I started noticing something odd EVERYTIME I ran out and had to reorder there would be a few days where I didn’t have to take them because I was waiting on the next shipment. WELL I noticed I’d feel amazing and like my old self again and gone were the anxious feelings, the brain fog in the morning and the randsome depressive moments. And I just didn’t understand at the time because i was never familiar with the states of anxiety I knew of depression but anxiety was new my heart would race my breathing would kick up it was just weird!!! I read all about it and really thought it was ME but it only happened while I was taking these! The next year thru all of my 25 years of age I went through so many emotional states I just couldn’t figure out what was going on. And finally at the age of 26 in May of this year 2018 I found the source of all those “weird” feelings I would get I just thought it was strange as I went back through my journals I kept every month that I noticed the trend of diary dailies mentioning all my states of mind and my writing exposed the same things I wrote about earlier. I had tracked it all down without knowing it’s amazing what a dot journal can keep it offers astonishing insight and as a person that knows himself very well i just didn’t think these would be the cause of many of those issues THEN to top it all off I went thru each review this seller and another and here and there I found ppl reviewing and commenting that they felt “weird” some couldn’t quite point out what it was but I can! Because I was not only self aware but was tracking it all down. Now when I say that when I stopped taking these I felt wonderful would be an understatement! I felt alive when I stopped taking these multivitamins! I’m sure someone out there would explain what it is but I know that there is something in these vitamins that is not quite right and I find it extremely sinister that these get recommend to be paired with the vitamin B complex stress relief by the same brand almost as if there’s a solution to the way these make you feel. I would be very cautious of these and considered just taking what you actually need. I took these for nutritional purposes only no other reason. I cannot stress enough to be aware of these and monitor yourself while on these. I know I’m not alone as other people reported the same thing that “weird” feeling. Now I’ve never suffered from anxiety but now I know what it is. These definitely disrupt the bodies chemicals and make some unbalances that caused what they did to me. NOw I can’t speak for anyone but myself but do yourself a favor and read through these reviews and the other 3rd party seller and see what you find. Be aware and be careful.

All ok so far thanks

I’ve been taking these daily for a few weeks, but I’ve come to the point where I can no longer stand the putrid musty/sour smell from the bottle and the capsules.
