Solgar Male Multiple, 180 Tablets - Multivitamin, Mineral & Herbal Formula for Men - Advanced Phytonutrient - Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free - 90 Servings

I decided to try Solgars Male Multiple vitamin for several reasons: I was familiar with their brand from ten years ago and I knew that its high quality; I didnt think that my current multi (famous OTC brand )was cutting it; I wanted a multi with no iron; I wanted a multi that wasnt the size of a horse pill, and, finally, I wanted a multi with SMALL amounts of ginseng and other energy-enhancing ingredients. On that last count, I think I got what I wanted, although at 25 mg the formula might seem too tepid for some. Using Solgars Male Multiple (2 tablets/day, not the 3 that the bottle recommends [see below for why]). I do feel an increase in overall energy, but I have questions that make me think that my search for the best multi for me may not yet over. I suspect that the initial boost I get from this vitamin is due to its generous supply of vitamin B-12 (500 mcg, or 8333% DV). There are also generous amounts of vitamin E (400 IU), zinc (50 mg), and C (400 mg). Magnesium and selenium are also generously supplied. Its at this point, though, that the ingredients list gets fuzzy for me and where someone who knows more about nutrition may be able to assist. It provides chromium, but not chromium picolinate, which my previous multi had and I believe has been implicated in weight loss. The chromium provided here is chromium nicotinoglycinate. Not sure why Solgar doesnt use the picolinate form. Heres the list of ingredients for the vitality part of the multi: Eleuthro extract, 25 mg Standardized American ginseng root, 25 mg Standardized Korean ginseng (panax), 25 mg Saw palmetto, 25 mg Stinging nettles extract, 25 mg Pygeum extract, 25 mg I should mention that when I was younger I tried ginseng but quit it, because at the end of the day I had leftover energy and trouble getting to sleep. Heres the kicker: even in the <25 mg range (I take only 2 tablets), at bedtime I feel my heart pounding, not badly but noticeably. These tablets are dark green and are not the size of horse pills. Theyre coated and go down easily with a sip of water. A final note: I considered other male multiples with energy-enhancing ingredients, but I decided on this brand because I really dont know about additives like damiana, etc.

Excellent product

Either this is a coincidence or these vitamins really are helping me. The stars just seem to be aligning in my life. I have alot of clarity. I feel like I’m glowing again, I feel happier, I’m smiling. Im just walking with a positive vibe where I go and people feel it. I’m feeling very great after starting to take these.

I am editing this review. Below is part of my previous one. In the images, left to right, is a dollar one-cent coin, a Truvada pill (white), an Amazon Vitamin C pill (yellowish), and a Solgar Male Multiple one (Dark green). These pills are OUTRAGEOUSLY big. There is not one single day that I can have the 3 pills without issues. I am not a small person (61) and I take other big pills daily (as Truvada as PreP) and took other vitamins (like CVS ones). I never had problems taking big pills. These are a whole new level! Every day I fill a 24oz glass (!!) with water, I stand-up, and initiate my 3 pills journey. Yet, every single day at least one pill gets stuck in my mouth or throat. I throw more and more water in, sometimes it moves on, many times it does not and stays for several seconds stuck in my throat. Sometimes the 24 oz is not enough water! I literally regurgitated them several times. I tried to humidify them with my tongue, I tried to place them in different places and positions in my mouth, etc. But there is not really a technique that works effectively. They are rounded etc but still, FAT, almost double of the size of any pill I saw. Moreover, they are coated in a green substance -- I guess it is there to facilitate ingestion (?) -- but when pills get stuck and have to be regurgitated, makes the mess even bigger... If this product stays this size, I will definitely not buy it again and can not recommend them to anyone. Results-wise (as written in my previous review): I feel very well in the last few days, with more energy, alertness. Better. I had been eating poorly and under much stress. This definitely is helping me. And, I simply do not trust any other brand, their promises, and marketing. If you compare the ingredients Solgar is always better, and more balanced, especially in the right ingredients (zinc for example).

Husband loves these! Hes not one for remembering to take pills and he takes this one EVERY DAY. Pill is large and a bit uncomfortable to swallow but he said he likes the energy they provide

I get these for my 13 yr old son and dont give him the full dose. They are a great brand and price.

This is a great daily multivitamin for men over 40. It has exactly what is necessary for your daily regimen to maintain good health. Solgar is a very reputable company that has been trusted for many years.

This vitamins are great but the smell after it has been opened a few times smell terrible but I found a way to fix this I bought 1.5 zip plastic bags and I put 3 pills in each bag so I take it daily. The problem is if you open the bottle each day to take them out oxygen goes in the bottle and after repeated openings they start to smell

Solgar Male Multiple is no longer made unfortunately (only a few remaining on the web) -- I have been using these great vitamins for over 20 years. Solgar and all other brands have nothing to replace the unique combination of a lot of Selenium, Chromium, Calcium, Magnesium plus with zero vitamin K. For some reason modern multivitamins have almost no Calcium and Magnesium. And the ones such as Vitacost Life Force are loaded with energy boosting ingredients such as L-Tyrosine, DMAE, CoQ10 etc plus vitamin K. These energy boosting ingredients mean you cant take them at night (only AM) if you want to get good sleep, and are dangerous to folks with weak hearts that go into afib with such energy boosters. Obviously vitamin K is not good for folks on Coumadin or equivalent. The small amounts of ginseng do not affect sleep. Very sorry to see this product with a unique combination of ingredients not being made anymore.
