What is GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin?

If we all ate right then we would not have to even think about taking a vitamin supplement.  How many people really eat a healthy balanced diet filled with numerous servings of fruits and vegetables?  The percentage is low, at around 20% at best.  How many times this week have you eaten well?  I must admit it is something that I have problem with.  Life is so hectic and crazy that convenience and a quick bite are all I can handle with working and taking care of a family.

That is why so many of us have turned to supplements.  We know that we need certain vitamins and minerals in our diet, that is why we make sure we try to take a supplement to replace our poor eating habits.  Most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans make it very clear that your nutritional needs should be met primarily through your diet.  Well, most of us known that is not going to happen.  Reality tells us otherwise.

GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin is one of those complete multi-vitamin and mineral formulas that but it also provides antioxidant protection,lycopene, lutein and green tea.

Liquid vitamins are appealing to people who do not like swallowing pills.  I have a friend that can not swallow pills and has a phobia when it comes to trying pills.  Most liquid vitamins can be more potent and more concentrated than pills so there are advantages to drinking your vitamins.  However, most of them do not taste the best since they contain various chemicals.

What’s in GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin?

GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin is one of those vitamin formulas that increases the amounts of most vitamins and minerals to make them a mega dose.  The vitamin C dose is 833% of the daily value recommended.  We know that many people believe that Vitamin C helps build the immune system but it is unclear if that much Vitamin C really makes you more immune from sickness and disease.

GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin also contains lycopene.  Lycopene is an antioxidant.  It gives tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables their color.  Research has been based on eating tomatoes, not when lycopene is in a supplement.  Lutein is also an antioxidant.  It does not contain iron and does contain a very small dose of calcium.

Is GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin Safe?

There does not appear to be any side effects associated with this multivitamin.  As with all supplements you should check with your health care provider if you are taking medications.  Pregnant and nursing women should also check with their doctor.

Conclusion

GNC Liquid Ultra Mega Multivitamin is one of those mega dose multivitamins on the market that claims more is better.  If that were true every multivitamin would have mega doses.  This multivitamin does not contain any iron which some people need and there is only 5% of the requirement for calcium in this supplement.  Not going to help you with calcium deficiencies.

Many people complained that the taste was horrid!  If the taste did not bother you some said the smell would.  If you can tolerate the taste every day good luck but there are so many vitamin supplement capsules that give you that worry free taste and smell problem to choose from.
