- Balance of Nature Fruits & Veggies Supplements - Whole Fruit and Vegetable Ingredients for Women, Men, and Kids - 90 Fruits Capsules, 90 Veggies Capsules - 1 Set

I have heard about these for several years now and finally decided to give them a try to try and start making improvements in my diet. The ingredients are great, a clean healthy supplement that I know I can trust. So far they have caused no stomach upset, but I do recommend eating something before or just after you take them to help avoid that possible issue if you have a sensitive stomach.

Balance of Nature Vitamins are great vitamins to take ,I have more energy than when I was taking other vitamins.

I can tell a difference when I take these. I generally feel better and I am less hungry. I don’t know why, but I am. I do have to say they are very hard to swallow, and normally I don’t have any problem taking pills. But the capsule container on these is pretty sticky. It gets stuck about halfway down my esophagus, and it burns. I think it’s because it’s made of cellulose and not other products that are used in less natural vitamins. I have tried to use a product called pill glide, and it helps somewhat, but the vitamins work so well for me, that I am willing to keep trying to take them. I also think they’re a little pricey, but when you see the video on how they are made, and how they truly are natural and made in the United States, that explains the price. It just costs more to make things here, but you usually end up with a superior product. I like them. I want to keep taking them. But I have to find a way to get them down without ending up with heartburn. Updated September 1, 2023: I found a way to make them easier to swallow. I take them with a big gulp of water, and then follow up with hot coffee or hot tea. The hot drink makes them slide down right away. I still think these are helping for energy, and I’ve even gotten another family member to try them, and he says they work for him as well.

I don’t know why it works, it I actually look forward to taking it every day. I actually chew them. It works for me. It gives me energy or something, but I feel better after I take them. I take them every day. Something in them just works. It just does.

I like the product and feel the benefits; however, you never know where your product is going to be coming from. It's very expensive and then getting two bottles where the manufacturing dates were both a year old...only for them to respond that the product shelf life is two years after the manufacturing date??? This is disappointing to me.

I have ordered this many times and like the product because I know I don’t eat enough fruit and vegetables

I took a star off for each capsule they shorted me. I counted twice, per bottle. I was shorted two veg and one fruit. That may sound minor, but for any bottle pill product on the market, you are buying an xx day supply so in the case of being shorted, it becomes false advertising also, and not just bad business. They weigh enough individually to be able to weigh and correct each bottle (like most do), but they choose not to bother at your expense. I took another star off for not giving the daily vitamin percentages. There is zero information and there are a few vitamins that can do you major harm for taking more than your daily allowance. A lot of us take other vitamins so that information they choose not to give is dangerous. I want to give this a full month so in not having this data I had to stop taking my daily Vitamin E and my 3 fish oil. I also had to stop taking my daily multi vitamin. I posted it as a question about the daily but never got an answer. Just pathetic. I haven't noticed any benefit yet and am on my 20th day. I take all 6 first thing in the morning. For one who always skips breakfast, I hope these will at least get my metabolism going early. Many videos I watched on these pills state that those in the commercial that have been interviewed take 12 daily. Can you imagine the expense with such a regimen? Taking all 6 takes a few minutes. I take a much larger fish oil, but it's coated and gel cap, so it's much easier to swallow. These can be nerve-racking. They aren't as big as I thought they would be from reading lots of reviews, but they have a thick capsule and it's very dry (not coated). What I do is coat it in my mouth for a few seconds and then align it with my tongue to go down the slide, so to speak, then push it down with a full mouth of fluids. It will often turn sideways and I have to start over, haha. Maybe higher does with smaller pills would stop all the negative comments on swallowing issues. I actually laughed at those reviews at first since I've never had an issue prior to these. The jury is still out on weight loss and can't say I see increased energy. I wouldn't expect to see a boost in energy since I'm out the door at 5:30am, covered in sweat by 7am every week day doing construction since I was 12, so I've always had a high constitution and forced energy level. Probably better for someone who is retired to voice their opinion on. I miss taking my other vitamins and will not buy these again unless they one day make smaller pills, thinner capsule, higher quantity, lower price, but primarily they need to list at least an average of daily vitamin percentages per dose of some sort. You really have to be careful over overdoes on the vitamins the liver won't just pass through.

I take Balance of Nature products along with other dietary supplements. I can’t possibly separate the effects of each one, but I do feel better.
