NaturesPlus Source of Life Gold Liquid 236ml - High Potency Food- Based Multivitamin and Mineral with Superfoods - Energy, Immune, Bones, Hydration - Vegetarian, Gluten Free

My regular daily vitamin boost, really good value as packed full of nutrients, tastes great, zingy with tropical fruit flavour. Larger size better value. Great boost to the system I love it.

My background is that I'm 41, work full time and travel around the country on trains , planes and automobiles (taxis). I would say that I'm tired and feel that I have a low level fatigue. Going to the gym gives me an energy boost, but sometimes I'm too busy to go. I've tried lots of supplements, which haven't had any noticeable benefit except for ZMA, but that started to make me oversleep and didn't always work . So with the source of life I find that it gives me a burst of energy and more mental clarity. Also mood is more chilled. Also I'm not flagging so much. Getting up to at 5:30 am on a cold morning going to the airport to fly to Switzerland, usually I feel like a zombie, but with a cap full of source of life I felt pretty good. Best way to describe it was a feeling of being charged with energy and feeling relaxed. When I say charged with energy I don't mean bouncing up and down in a hyper state, just a nice flow of energy. However I noticed that if I take it every day, I do feel a little bit of the underlying fatigue again. I don't know if that because my body is reacting to the high doses in the product and might be overloading. I think that every other day works for me. Usually at the weekend I'm wiped out, but I now find that I'm walking earlier and not having a wiped out feeling. However with all the positives I have been reading up on the B12 side and have decided to try methylcobalamin nuggets by solgar. I bought these last week from a health food shop in Cardiff. These tiny tabs dissolve into the mouth compared to the juice of source of life. I have found that these give a better result than the source of life. However source of life has many other vitamins. Why did I do this when source of life has a positive effect on me. Well from researching on the phoenix rising forums there are many forms of B12 and without going into the details, the form that is in source of life (cyanocobalamin) is converted to the active forms in the body which are: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The theory goes that if you take the cyanocobalamin then you may have other deficiencies that stops the body converting it to the active forms. So that could be why some people don't get any benefit from certain B12 supplements. In fact when I was in Cardiff I took the methylcobalamin tab (no cap of source of life that day), went to work in the office, felt energetic all day, didn't flag despite no lunch and then had a three hour train back to London and worked on the laptop on the way. When I got off at Paddington I was in fact considering going to the Gym at my local office. This was at 9:30 in the evening. Point is that the B12 seems to work for me and it might also have been the added impact of the source of life that I took the day before travelling to Cardiff. Also the Solgar ones are sublingual, so at the moment my thinking is that the version of B12 in source of life may not be as good as it could be because it is synthetic and has to be converted into the active forms and also the amount that is in a dose won't be absorbed by the body fully. Ie you get a tiny amount converted to the active forms via the stomach. All in all its a good way to have your vitamins and for me it works, so I would give it five stars. I will have it as one of my keeper supplements.

I have now been taking this for several weeks so feel I can give it an accurate review. It works: remember that when taking it because the taste is indescribable. It’s truly revolting. I struggled for a few days to not feel sick as it really is revolting, however, I felt so run down and have deficiencies in several vitamins and iron that I figured I’d try anything to give me a boost particularly now. If you just take the capful and have a drink in standby to wash away the aftertaste, you soon get used to it. Be prepared for neon side effects!! I definitely feel more energised and less groggy so hopefully it’s working inside too to build immune system. It’s expensive at once to be honest but I added up if I was only to purchase the equivalent iron, Vitamin b12, vitamin d and zinc which I would have bought individually, it would cost as much per month as this. Additionally, this has many more vitamins and minerals in it than those four so it’s actually cost effective. I take it with a vitamin d supplement as needed at this time and can justify the £1 a day cost on average for improved health. I’d highly reccomend if you are suffering from fatigue, want to boost your health or recovering from illness and need immune system support. Remind yourself it works every time because the taste is just something else I can’t understand how anyone says it is pleasant.

Very nutritious and tasty but very expensive

I am five months postpartum and started taking the supplements around three weeks ago. Previous to this I was feeling very tired, exhausted aches, pains skin was feeling dull just overall low energy since taking the supplements I can honestly say that I feel much better in myself, my backache has Reduced and overall aches and pains are not as obvious. My energy level is back up and my skin is feeling great since taking these. I am breastfeeding and I’ve noticed that my breastmilk is a little bit green LOL I don’t think this is an issue but it is noticeable in the milk. I don’t mind the taste of the supplements it’s pretty strong however in one quick gulp is no issue. the little bottle make it very easy to take the correct amount daily and easily accessible. I am one of those people who hate taking tablets and never really can keep up with it however this has been really easy to add to my routine in the morning along with my iron supplement. I do recommend this and will be continue taking it every day to infinity and beyond. I recommend for postpartum and breastfeeding

Truly offensive taste and texture. I tried to hide it in 500ml of smoothie and it ruined the whole smoothie.

When I first started taking this product, I knew that I would become a repeat customer because it mixes well and has a nice flavor to it. I use it in combination with my protein power and after workout supplement. I have energy throughout the day.

Best liquid vitamin

Very good been using for years. It covers soany vitamins and minerals. It keeps us from getting sick and taste good too@

The taste is not great but the benefits are all that. It is more palatable mixed into to a glass of crystal light tea or lemonade.

I sought something like this because of a compromised esophagus; I could not swallow pills and capsules. Twenty minutes or so of opening and mixing capsules in applesauce is tedious and too filling if you would rather spend time enjoying real food. I am hard core, but the taste is pleasant enough, especially considering the huge array of nutrients; if you have an inflamed throat, simply dilute with water. I will advise that you shake the bottle side to side, not messing up the area surrounding the cap. A large, dedicated glass measuring jigger works well. If you read the label, you will see a huge array of vitamins, minerals, targeted supplement, natural foods, etc - I don't think anything desirable was left out. No way could you afford to buy each of these separately. The price is more than reasonable. In short, It is easy to take, tastes pretty good, helps with energy and is not too expensive, especially considering all the extras it contains; I believe that the liquid formula is more readily absorbable too. So, just swallow one capful or measure 2 tablespoons, and with a few sips you are done for the day. Read the label each morning and stay inspired while you feel better!
