    They are actually my company of choice for my staples. They arent going to knock your socks off, but then again, a staple isnt really going to do that anyway. But I think you are getting a solid product that does what it says it will do.

    Lots of great products although they have come under some scrutiny for their multi not meeting label claims. I still use many of their products and will continue to.

    It's the lengths of what they go through to put out a quality product as mentioned above. It's what's in the bottle that counts, not a flashy looking label.

    To much random junk at miniscule doses, that will do nothing other than likely interfere with the absorption of important ingredients.

    The form of D, and E blows too.

    I'm not all that into using iodine everyday either.

    I'm not saying NOW is a bad company by any means. I use their vitamin C, and vitamin D products. But NOW adam is nothing special.

    They are using ergocalciferol (D2) instead of cholecalciferol (D3), which makes no sense considering D3 is 3-10x more effective, and dirt cheap.

    They also use a single form of vitamin E (D-Alpha Tocopheryl Succinate)... and when taken solo can actually cause deficiencies in the gamma and delta tocopherols.

    As I mentioned before, I don't like to use Iodine daily

    Also, using saw palmetto isn't the best idea either. Why anyone wants to block formation of DHT is beyond me... unless they had some sort of medical condition.

    Like most multis.... it's very unimpressive.

    True, but its still on par with 98% of multis available here. There are only a couple multis that offer a complete E here at bb.com. At least coming from NOW you know that there's some quality behind it.

    I wasnt directly speaking towards the adam product, moreso towards their complete line. They offer almost everything at great prices and with great quality.
