I received this B-Complex with B-12 Tablets for free in exchange for an honest review.
Vitamin supplements are a great product for people who don't eat a properly balanced diet, and I've been doing very poorly at healthy eating of late so I figured I might as well add some more vitamin boost to my day. I'm still breastfeeding my baby, so I'm still taking my prenatals which meant I had to verify that the combination would not result in over dosing on any one vitamin. After verifying that the combo was safe I also checked to make sure there were no ingredients in the b complex that were contraindicated for breastfeeding and got an all clear on the safety front. As for efficacy, I can't be completely certain of that because I haven't had them long enough to know but they seem to help a bit. The last two weeks or so have been very stressful and difficult for me and the rest of my family. I haven't had any more energy than usual since I started taking the b complex but I haven't had any less energy either, which is saying something considering that I haven't been able to get much sleep recently. So I will go ahead and say that I believe the vitamins are helping at least a little.
The issue I take with this product is that they use such a large bottle for such a small quantity of pills. I realize that is sort of an industry standard practice, but it's really deceptive. Yes, if a consumer reads the bottle they know how many pills/doses are in it, but we also know that not everyone reads the bottle that thoroughly before making a purchase and having the bottle be so unreasonably large simply seems like a tactic to dupe rushed customers.
As for the actual vitamins. Well, they smell terrible, but that's not too uncommon with vitamins. And they leave a bad taste in my mouth but that's pretty much standard for vitamins, in my experience. The pills are small which makes them easy to swallow, always a nice bonus when it comes to pills.
So, would I buy these pills myself? I'm not sure. On the one hand, the pills are small and easy to swallow, which is a boon for anyone who hates taking pills (like me). On the other hand, I'm am greatly annoyed by the deceptive size of the pill bottle and a part of me believes that companies that try to swindle customers like this should be avoided. But is that annoyance enough to completely steer me away from this brand? I'm going to have to say that no, it is not enough to dissuade me from using this brand. It is annoying but not harmful, and the price is still reasonable for the amount of doses you receive. So, yes, I would buy this product. And if you, dear readers, are in need of a vitamin B supplement I would recommend it to you as well.
