Nature's Way Alive! Max3 Potency Daily Multivitamin, Methylated B12 and Folate, Ultra Potency B-vitamins to Support Energy Metabolism*, 90 Tablets

I've been taking these for many years. I've tried others, but none have the kick these do. I'm 75, and can still lift weights for 2.6 hours without resting.

I take these multi's every day and they make a HUGE difference for me in helping clear up my skin! I'll be straight with you, these are disgusting and large vits, and you have to take 3 of them daily (I find apple juice hides the taste reasonably.) however I have noticed a big difference taking these as opposed to the opti-women vits, which were also disgusting but didn't help my skin at all.As someone dealing with adult acne for the last two years, I was desperate for something to help my skin! I've tried countless creams, serums, peels, masks, washes, sprays, essential oils, etc until my wallet cried.. and NONE of them helped! My skin was horrible, inflamed, utterly embarrassing as a working adult, and painful to boot. (The kicker was many days it hurt to smile! If you've been there you know how discouraging this is!) My skin was so terrible a coworker anonymously left proactive on my desk at work (the turd!!).After countless wasted dollars and months of frustration I've FINALLY got my skin under control and milk thistle was a huge part of that. I'm sharing what has worked for me in hopes of helping other people who H A T E their skin.-Topically, I ONLY use Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Cream Serum 5% by Skin Daily. No washing, no scrubs, no masks-- pretty much caveman status. A drop goes a long way so the bottle will last a while. I'm never oily when using this unlike a lot of other products I tried. It's really improved the texture of my skin, smoothing and plumping (is that a thing?). I think it has also helped with some of the hyper pigmentation as well. The only other topicals I like as much are aztec/cider vinegar face mask and honey/cinnamon/nutmeg mask. I used to do one of those masks EVERY DAY in hopes of a miracle for my skin :( but now I don't need them. Unfortunately it is a little pricey but if you're like me you'll pay whatever it takes (well, maybe not a yacht) to have clear skin.-Internally: Every day I take gaia milk thistle (to fight inflammation---game changer!x3), nature' way alive! women's multi (warning it tastes super nasty but is bearable with fruit juice x3), align probiotic (x1), and naturemade fish oil pills (x3). Nothing helped me clear up like taking these supplements! I would say I am 95% clear on them and improving.Before these I cut out bread, potatoes, pasta, chocolate, dairy, and most other glorious foods in hopes of helping my body to no avail! I tried vitex/chasteberry, inositol powder, fermented cod liver oil in cinnamon tingle (still puking), synthetic vit e, maca root, hyper biotics, opti-women, turmeric, and countless more with little to no success. (note: I also tried Jarrow's formula milk thistle, and while that worked OK I find gaia is way more potent.)These days I am still conscientious about what I eat but not militant about food like I was when my skin was so horrible. Sugar and caffeine make me more inflamed so I do moderate my intake of those. If you can do nothing else I would recommend the gaia milk thistle. (Amazon has the best price I have found-but if you're desperate Whole Foods has it for like $40). Anyone with serious acne has an inflammation problem that they may nor even know about, and the milk thistle was huge in getting that under control for me- my skin was WAY less red and inflamed within days of starting it.I hope this helps anyone with skin issues looking for an alternative to meds or BC or SA/BP for managing their skin issues :) Best of luck getting clear!

I'm loving this so far! I came upon this after learning that I need to be taking specific high-potency vitamins/supplements to help my body regulate itself normally (I had my gallbladder out in 2011 and was NEVER told by doctors about anything involving the weight gain and other issues that come from it). I take 3 other supplements in addition to this that help my body work as if it had a "properly functioning gallbladder." Specifically, the high amounts in these vitamins are to ensure my body stops acting like it's starving (even though I definitely eat), therefore helping to get rid of excess fat. I haven't even been taking these for a week yet and I'm already shedding excess weight. I've never had issues losing weight until 2011, and I'm in my mid-20s. These vitamins definitely feel like they're helping! I see some people complaining about the amounts in these vitamins... let's get real, if you don't NEED max potency vitamins because you're already getting what you need, then don't ORDER max potency vitamins. These are for people that are very clearly deficient. I take 3 a day, all at one time. I haven't noticed any sleep issues, but I usually have issues sleeping every so often, so if it's been affecting my sleep, I haven't noticed it enough to put it out-of-the-ordinary for me.On the downside, because of all the different things in these vitamins, yes they totally reek. It's literally the worst smell I can imagine for vitamins, and I always hold my breath when I take them so I don't smell them... but really, the benefits outweigh it for me. In my opinion, if you need something this strong to help you get healthy again, then smell is just such a minor thing; suck it up and take it! Haha. And yes, the vitamins are also pretty large, and the B-vitamins do turn my pee neon-yellow (probably because my body isn't used to it yet). Overall, the benefits outweigh all of these to me, so much so that I can't even see taking away a star because of it.
