I have spent years trying different supplements and vitamins. This vitamin is not only inexpensive, it’s all natural (made from whole foods), and it really works. Definitely leave energized and alert. Check out the ingredients. FYI I have taken all 3 varieties (pill, liquid, and effervescent) of this product and the pills are definitely easiest to take. I chose Subscribe & Save and am having a new bottle delivered every other month. $20ish for 2 months of vitamins- automatically delivered. Smart.

This is the best brand at the best price. Nutiva 3lbs. for $26.89. I signed up for automatic  deliveries (6lbs. per month) and saved an extra 15%. I have my entire family drinking it. Great stuff.
