I started taking the Nature’s Way Alive! vitamins today. This is the Effervescent drink powder that you can add to water. It has an ugly green color, but doesn’t taste too bad. It’s lemon-lime-ish. I think I will opt for the pills though after today. It will be easier.
Alive! is a great product though. Read the review above. It’s really good for you, and everyone should be taking a multi-vitamin, especially if you are dieting and exercising. You can buy it at health food stores or Sprouts if you have one in your neighborhood.
You can read the label of the tablet form here:

Sounds like a good product for any one not getting enough fruits and veggies daily (which is almost everyone). The liquid form is probably a good idea for people with digestive issues, it probably helps the body absorb the nutrients more easily. Lady Rose, , co-author Incredible Shrinking Ladies blog
It’s a great product. Grab some if you have a Sprouts near by. You’re correct about the liquid. Liquid vitamins are better than capsules.
I’ve been taking the liquid form is this multi-vitamin for a week now. It looks like swamp juice (tastes like it too). However, if I plug my nose and suck it down real quick, then follow it with some orange juice, it’s not too terrible. Mixing it with orange juice was a definite no-no. I just ended up with a glass of green juice!!
I’m going to continue using this for a month to see if I can reap any benefits.
They say that liquid vitamins are better for you, but I couldn’t get myself to drink it either. And yes I tried the green juice too. That’s why I went with the capsules – the next best thing. Hang in there. The benefits are there. It’s a great product.
I had severe flushing and itching immediately after taking the Alive liquid vitamins. I looked like I’d been burned by the sun. It only lasted about 2 hours, but it was pretty annoying.
