Summary: Some Concerns
Comment: While I don't think this multivitamin is bad overall, I do have some concerens.
First, the vitamin is extremely hard to swallow. I nearly choked a couple of times trying to get it down. Another reader claims that shouldn't be a criticism. Well, I disagree.
Second, ConsumerLab.com, an independent company that tests nutrional supplements found problems with the ingredients, namely that the vitamins contain only 73% of the vitamin A that is on the label, and, due to a binding agent used, there is actually 251% of its claimed 60 mg of calcium. Whether these problems have been corrected, I do not know.
Nonetheless, I think these vitamins are decent overall, although I have ethical issues with how Dr. Weil shamelessly promotes his own products on his Web site, especially with his "vitamin advisor," which recommends the same amount of stuff to take regardless of your input.

Summary: These seem to have helped my general health
Comment: I am a fan of Dr. Weil and have read his book on healthy aging. I started looking around for a multivitamin and decided that his would be the best bet. I have been taking them now for about a year and recently had a physical exam where all of my lab numbers were perfect. They were even better than last year. I only take a little medication for blood pressure which has run a little high even with the prescription meds. My BP is now much lower and is well below my previous readings. I take a few other supplements.
The doctor was very pleased and told me not to change anything in my routine. I am a 67 year old male.
I don't know whether to attribute it all to Dr. Weil's multivitamins, but I am pleased.
I tried looking for a similar product locally using the bottle and book as a guide, but got thoroughly confused. So, I decided to stay with what works.

Comment: Weil Nutritional Daily Multivitamin for Optimum Health, Tablets, 180-Count Bottle My wife and I have been taking these pills for a number of years and find them to be excellent.

Summary: Keep well with Dr. Weil!
Comment: Andrew Weil, M.D., developer and promoter of this product, is a remarkable man who wrote a best-selling book titled "8 Weeks to Optimum Health." I read that book and was determined to follow his health regimen. I did very well with the daily breathing exercises, ate my broccoli and treasured my walks along the Esplanade in Capitola. There was more to the program, but those are the ones I recall off-hand. Obviously, I failed to stick with it through the years but I continued some of his healthy suggestions. I felt better when following his suggested regimen, but human nature being what it is, I lapsed back to some of my old, unhealthy habits.
But this review is not about the book, it's about Weil Nutritional Daily Multivitamin for Optimum Health, Tablets, 180-Count Bottle, just one of many health products that bear his well-known name: Weil Nutritionals.
To fill in the nutritional gaps in my daily diet I've been taking Centrum-Silver vitamins for years. I was thinking of switching to the new Centrum-Cardio when a friend told me about Dr. Weil's products. She said she's been using these vitamins for over a year and never felt better. That should have been enough for me because of Weil's stellar reputation, but having been misled by other products claiming to "do this or that" and failing to come through with expected results, I had to have further testimony.
Quite naturally, I turned to Amazon reviewers' opinions. Truthfully, there were only six reviews: three people gave the product five-stars, two, four stars and one gave it one star, and that had nothing to do with the health benefits, but rather that the pill was large and hard to swallow. Well, that wasn't much help, was it?
That's when I decided to quit being so analytical and to "swallow the bullet" ... er ... "the pill," and go for it!. After all, I trusted Dr. Weil and reasoned he couldn't afford to put his name on anything that could harm his reputation as a renowned "Health Guru."
Fast forward: I've been taking these vitamins for three months now and I feel super-duper, brimming with energy, so perhaps there is something to the science behind this supplement, after all.
I also appreciate that these multi-vitamins include no preservatives, artificial colors or flavorings and include flavonoids, B vitamins including folic acid, choline, and inositol, and several important minerals, all necessary to support daily metabolic processes. In addition, the price of this 180-count bottle is a savings over the smaller bottles and over the prices at my local health-foods store. For my money, you can't beat that.
Before closing I'd be remiss if I failed to pass on the following precautionary warnings: If you are pregnant or lactating, consult a health care professional before using this product, and common sense cautions to keep it out of the reach of children and not to use it if the safety seal on the box is broken or missing.
I believe in the professional and personal reputation of Dr. Andrew Weil and am sold on these vitamins. As for the size of the tablet, it helps that I have a big mouth and an even larger esophagus, so have no trouble swallowing them. I plan to try other Weil Nutritionals. Why not try them yourself? You have nothing to lose ... and energy to gain. Nothing beats good metabolism.

Summary: Good, I guess??
Comment: I ordered the Weil Multi-vits as an alternative to the vitamins I was previously using. I can't say I feel any better, worse or different than before. They seem like a good value and Dr. Weil has a good reputation so I figured I would give them a try.
