I absolutely LOVE this supplement! It has everything that I (a 52-year old woman) want and need in a daily vitamin/supplement for women. When I am taking it regularly, blood tests come back as normal and not lacking in any specific areas.
My only complaint about this supplement is that it is too large to swallow easily. I frequently get this pill stuck in my throat, and it would be great if you had a capsule form of it.
Overall - This is a wonderful daily vitamin/supplement, which gives me good energy throughout the day. I take two a day, twelve hours apart, as they are timed-release.
I am hopeful that you carry larger quantities of this pill, so that I don't have to spend so much time, every month, buying more of it.

I switched from the GNC Active Women's variety over to the 50+ ones after I turned 50. I immediately felt a decrease in my energy level. Over the last 18 months I've switched back and forth to make sure I wasn't imagining the difference. But, it's very clear to me now that Active Women's are better quality and value. When comparing the ingredients side-by-side, the Active Women's have the same or MORE of each of the ingredients in the 50+ variety, and they are much less expensive. The choice is extremely clear to me, and I cannot figure out why GNC bothers to market the 50+ brand at all.

    Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega 50 Plus Multivitamin, Timed Release Caplets, 120 ea:

    Been taking this multi-vitamin twice a day with a well balanced meal for almost a year now and love the results. I did extensive research before purchasing GNC Mega Vitas for Women 50 and over, and trust the dosage for miligrams/units for each ingredient. My doctor approves and has noticed a nice balance in my blood work, weight maintenance and overall physical/mental well being. I highly recommend this multi-vitamin, but check with your doctor before taking any supplements to make sure they are right for you.

    Very Unpleasant Taste and Smell!!!

    Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega 50 Plus Multivitamin, Timed Release Caplets, 120 ea:

    I take supplements on a daily basis and my MD suggested a multivitamin geared toward bone health. I'm sure this product fills the bill as far as effective but I absolutely cannot get past the poor taste and smell - I can only describe it as awful. I will finish them because of the price but I definitely will not be purchasing again.

    Making me breakout?

      Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega 50 Plus Multivitamin, Timed Release Caplets, 120 ea:

      I use GNC products and have done so for many years. I read about this and it sounded great so I gave it a try. I'm not sure if this is the cause, but since taking this, I have been breaking out terribly on my cheeks. It's not hormonal - that happens on my chin. I haven't broken out on my cheeks in years. So I'm stopping the vitamin to see if my face clears up. If it does, I'll be tossing this. I wouldn't mind that too much because the smell and taste is awful. I'll just continue with the individual supplements - evening primrose, fish oil, calcium.

        I've been on this multi-vitamin for 2 plus months now and it is making me feel very good. Have had two routine app'ts with my primary and ob/gyn and they have both given their blessings, allbeit taking into consideration my age of 50 plus and how my exams are proving positive.

        Comments about GNC Women's Ultra Mega 50 Plus Multivitamin, Timed Release Caplets, 120 ea:

        I have very mixed feelings about these vitamins - on one hand they are effective, easy to swallow, etc but the smell is so strong that I can hardly stand to take them! All vitamins have an odor, however these just seem stronger than many I've taken. I try to hold my breath while opening them, but still smell them when I open my mouth to take it. I'm really unsure if I would reorder for this fact alone.

          After trying these, I also bought the men's mega vitamins for my husband.

          These vitamins seems to give me more energy and vitality. I will continue to take in the future.

              This is the first multivitamin that I have actually felt better after taking it. It has a pleasant vanilla sent which makes it pleasant to take as well. My lab test results show that my levels are where they should be.

                Actually, I started buying these for my 70-year old mother. She wasn't on any type of vitamin regimin. She noticed a difference within a month of taking them. She's not out-of-breath when she climbs stairs and she says she has more energy. Never too late to start taking vitamins!

                At first I didn't like the idea of using two pills a day for supplementation results, but after trying them decided I liked them and understood the benefit of taking them with twice a day (I take them after a meal). The are coated and easy to swallow, even though they are a little large. They do not cause naseau on an empty stomach as some vitamins do to me. I wish they had more B12 so I didn't have to take an aditional supplement. Originally I wouldn't buy them because they didn't have 100% of Vit K. But now the calcium chews have the K, so I get MDR of K that way.

                  This product has all of the vitamins and minerals that a person over 50 should be taking. Great way to be completely covered and only taking 2 pills per day instead of several.
