What is ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus?

You detest swallowing smelly horse pills–which let’s face it, covers just about most multivitamins out there!  Your mom used to break up your pills and serve them in peanut butter, but she’s not around to do that anymore.

No, it’s just you–and the horse pill–standing off.  (And the horse pill’s winning.)

What about a LIQUID MULTIVITAMIN?  That’s right.  A citrus-tasting liquid that delivers all those lovely nutrients without the whole–swallowing bit.  And here’s something even more important than your hatred of pills–liquids are more easily absorbed, and their nutrients more quickly used than pills.  That’s right! 

ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus promises the following:

• 25 Vitamins & Minerals
• 24 Fruits & Vegetable Juices
• 14 Green Foods
• 18 Amino Acids
• 12 Digestive Enzymes
• 12 Organic Mushrooms
• Artificial coloring, artificial flavoring, dairy products, lactose, milk, soy, wheat and yeast.
• Contains all your daily essentials
• Contains botanical energizers
• System defenders including antioxidants
• Quickly absorbed with easy-digestion formulation

But will it deliver?  Let’s look at the ingredients…

What’s in ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus?

You’re almost covered with all your vitamins and minerals with ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus.  There’s no enough Calcium (only 10% of what you need daily)–which seems to be a failing with most multivitamins.  So you’ll definitely want to add extra calcium into your diet.

ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus also offers the following proprietary blends:

• Green Food and Spirulina Blend 500 mg including–Spirulina (microalgae), Alfalfa (leaf stem), Barley Grass (grass, Wheat Grass (grass), Melissa (leaf) and Blue Green Algae–all the health and antioxidant benefits of green foods and algae in pretty high dose.
• Amino Acids 225 mgincluding–Spirulina, Chlorella, Blue Green Algae, Glutamine, Arginine, Lysine, and  Tyrosine–the building blocks of  the body for overall health and vitality, muscle growth and mood enhancement.

• 8 Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex (from lemon, orange, and grapefruit) 60 mg-antioxidants and immune strength.
• Inositol 50 mg–stops the liver from storing unhealthy fat. 
• Choline (as choline bitartrate) 30 mg–assists the brain in firing neurons that help long-term memory and mental focus.

I’m not usually a fan of blends as they hide ineffective ingredient quantity.  But most of these blends are in pretty good dose.  Add to that the plethora of positive consumer testimonials for ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus, and this seems to be an adequate liquid multivitamin.

Is ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus Safe?

Yes–but if you’re pregnant or nursing always consult your physician before supplementing.  And take with food to prevent stomach upset.

Conclusion

At approximately $19.38 for 30 ml (a one-month supply),  ALIVE Liquid Multi Citrus is a bit pricier than what you’re used to paying for your multivitamin, but may be worth it if you really do detest pills.
