Solid Multivitamin,
As an active male in my 30s, I am pretty happy with my body. the Rainbow light vitamin is an easy way to get the nutrition I may otherwise miss out on which is why I take it. It’s a solid vitamin. I’ve got no complaints! The only other supplement I take is tribulus and the two have no counteracting problems with one another. Tribulus (25 Grams (0.88 Oz) Tribulus Terrestris 90% Bulk Powder (Strongest Tribulus on the market)) gives me boosts in my endurance and energy where this gives me overall immunity health which is just as important.
The rainbow light hits all the big important vitamins including the b’s for nerve health and metabolic boosts. Tribulus is a great complimentary supplement because it just gives you more overall well being which is super important at my age. The two are just giving me even more health stability than I achieve through healthy exercise and diet.

|multivitamin absorption,
A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and so I have some nutritional deficiencies. So I have looked into several multivitamins and have learned what favorable forms of nutrients to look for in a multivitamin. As mentioned in other reviews this vitamin has the desirable, natural forms of vitamins and nutrients. I have had a lot of energy during the day since I started taking it over a month ago. It compares favorably with other more expensive vitamins. But I was concerned about the vitamin being in tablet form rather than capsule, thinking it may not dissolve well. Being an Organic Chemistry professor, I have access to a variety of individuals with other science based backgrounds. In our Microbiology department, they have an instrument called a stomacher, which mimics the activity of a human stomach. I placed two of the Rainbow light multivitamins, along with a couple other supplements in a bag containing plain distilled water and a little enzyme (overall pH approximately 6). This bag was placed in the stomacher for about 5 minutes. When it came out the solution was pretty much homogeneous (uniform solution) throughout and a yellow / green color. I think other reviewers only considered the pH of the stomach (as I originally thought), but there is a lot of agitation that occurs within to break up food and whatever else is swallowed. So the take home story is it looks like I can stop chewing it up before swallowing it. It is convenient to take one tablet a day but not optimal. Any vitamin has half lifes where the effectiveness diminishes throughout the day. It would be better to take a series of vitamins and minerals throughout the day.
