 A waste of money...Feb 11, 2010
It's funny, after reading the reviews for this, a lot of posters say they feel no difference at all (and the ones who do usually feel negative affects) and only hope that the vitamin is doing its thing. What's sad, is that I took these vitamins years ago and pretty much felt the same way. I was only hoping and assuming it was doing its thing. Since I never really felt a difference and I felt like I had more than I knew what to do with, they mainly ended up in the toilet.
One-A-Day is a prime example of a cheap, mass-marketed multivitamin that truly has very little to offer. If you're someone who is serious about your health, then you're better off spending a little more on a quality multivitamin that will actually do something for you, not something that is just a waste of money.
Cheap vitamins like this usually do not list their vitamin details explicitly on their nutrition label. Instead, one must look at the ingredients to find precisely what forms the vitamins are in. Cheap vitamins (such as this one) usually will use inferior forms of vitamins and minerals because they are inexpensive, the general public doesn't know any better anyway, and unfortunately, these ingredients give minimal results.. if that.
Cheap vitamins use ingredients such as calcium as calcium carbonate, or minerals like magnesium as magnesium oxide.
When looking for a multivitamin, I have three main things I look for:
1. The form of the multivitamin should ideally be in either a liquid or a capsule/softgel. Tablets, while not all of them are bad, tend to be harder for the body to dissolve because they are so compressed and dense. As a result, the tablet may not completely dissolve, thus the vitamins are wasted.
2. The forms the vitamins are in and the amounts:
-Vitamin A as 100% natural cartonoids such as betacarotene and no more than 5000IU.
-Calcium as either caclium citrate or calcium malate or amino acid chelate but NOT calcium carbonate.
-Minerals such as zinc, magnesium, copper and so forth should be in either citrate or amino acid chelated forms, not oxides
-Selenium should be in 200mcg (the amount that the latest research says is needed to get the most health benefits) in the L-Selenomethionine form
-Natural Vitamin E as d-alpha tocopherol, not the synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol which is what most mass-marketed vitamins such as One-A-Day and Centrum use.
3. The other ingredients: avoid vitamins that have artificial colors, useless fillers and binders and objectionable ingredients such as titanium dioxide.
Sad thing is, most mass-marketed vitamins such as this one make it a little harder for the consumer to know what they are getting, because their label usually doesn't list the form of the vitamin or mineral. Instead, one has to look at the ingredients and know what they are looking for in order to determine what the form is.
This vitamin fails in just about every area I can think of for a quality vitamin. It's no wonder that people don't feel any better after taking them. This vitamin is very cheap for a reason. If you are someone who is taking vitamins in hopes that you will improve your health, then spend a little more on a product that is actually beneficial and will help you feel better.

 Quality multi-vitamin at an affordable priceAug 29, 2009
This is a great multivitamin. The tablets aren't a big as some people here would lead you to believe. They are easy to swallow. There's no nasty aftertaste.
I wish I could feel any effect from taking it, but like with any multivitamin, you just have to hope there actually is vitamins and minerals inside.
Recommended.

 big and uncoatedMay 02, 2009
I just want to echo BTrain's comments. I was taking the red One-A-Day multivitamin/multimineral. Unfortunately, they have been discontinued. They were big but coated, so they were easy to swallow. These things are like swallowing a horse pill.

 Good all in one vitamin - not coated though.Mar 07, 2009
I shopped around when the multi-vitamins I was taking were discontinued and these seem to be the best out there for you.
One thing to note that these are big pills and they aren't coated to go down easier. If you have trouble swallowing for some reason you might want to be careful around these.

Worth trying outFeb 17, 2009
One-A-Day Men's Health Formula has been a worthwhile dietary supplement for me. I notice no difference in my energy level compared to before, but I do sleep more deeply at night than I did before I started taking them and I feel more rested when I wake up. I remember dreams more, so I assume that my pre-One-A-Day diet was missing something. I doubt that they would cure insomnia, but they made a noticeable difference to me.
I have had no trouble ingesting the pills, and I take one with a glass of juice (or water) and fruit. Sam's Club carries a 250 ct. bottle for about $13.00.
In contrast, I took gingko biloba for six months and noticed neither positive nor negative effects (except the terrible taste and the negative effect on my wallet), so I stopped taking the gingko.
