Adult Multivitamins

I have a huge problem with multivitamins. If I don't eat a substantial amount of food then I get sick to my stomach. I've also been trying to avoid certain ingredients such as soy and gelatin. (Dangers of soy.)  (How is gelatin made?)

The One A Day weight smart is the multivitamin I have been taking which has put me close to vomiting numerous times. This vitamin does contain gelatin and soy, along with artificial colors and titanium dioxide which is a carcinogen.

I wont be purchasing this one anymore.
Note: Price is about $9 for 50 one a day tablets.


The first vitamin that I found myself happy with was Deva Vegan Multivitamin & Minerals on Amazon.com. If you look on the Deva website, you can see a full list of ingredients for all of their products. I was pleased that they are free of GMOs, yeast, wheat, gluten, milk, sugar, salt, starch, preservatives; animal products, byproducts or derivatives. And no soy either, so I found this very satisfying. They are about $18 for 2 bottles of 90 count one a day tablets.

For argument sake, I went to Trader Joe's to see if they had a similar vitamin for a better price. I ended up purchasing their brand multivitamin & mineral antioxidant. These were about $8 for 100 tablets but they recommend 2 per day. They are gluten free & no yeast, sugar or starch.
This bottle does not express to be non GMO or not containing ingredients produced from disgusting animal parts but I did notice that several ingredients have a parenthesis saying "vegetable source".

I will definitely continue the use of the Trader Joe's brand but will then be buying Deva. I think the Deva brand gives you more for your money while also giving you the confidence that you will be taking the healthiest product available.
