Not for me--but may be perfect for you
I really wanted to like these vitamins; I like everything about the description, and I'm very picky about vitamins. I always start something new gradually, so I started with 1 a day for a week, then 2 a day for the next week, etc. By the time I got to the recommended dosage (4/day), my ">55 YO" face had zits all over it that wouldn't heal, I was having some mild asthma, and completely exhausted all the time. I finally work up and did some testing, only to find out I'm very allergic to Selenium. Four capsules of this multivit contain only 125 MICROgrams of sellenium. (Keep in mind a microgram is one millionth of a gram and one thousandth of a milligram; I'm just very sensitive to sellenium.) That's a VERY odd allergy, so I want to be clear that this vitamin combo will likely be great for just about anyone else. (Yes, now that I've stopped, my face is back to normal, as is everything else; it was definitely the sellenium.)
