I haven't been here in a long time so maybe I have missed something on vitamins. Some time ago somebody from MWC called and offered me a sample vitamins, "good days."
I would like to know if any of you have tried these and what do you think. I have fear of medicine including vitamins. Many times before I had bad reaction to the medicine and some vitamins, iron, B12 ...I get terrible anxiety so from them. I am weary fearful to take anything new. Thank you for any comment on this.

I ordered the program in Nov.(I think), and I got the "Good Days" also. It was a 1 month supply for free with a discount on monthly delivered replenishes. I tried them, but I got pretty anxious. I wash feeling fine and went to bed. I woke up several times feeling like if I was on speed. I don't normally have a problem with taking pills so I guess it was the pills that gave me some kind of 'energy rush.' I thought maybe that happened because I was expecting something to happen so I tried them again several weeks later. Same thing. They probably are good for us but for me, I get this kind of energy rush, or like a strong caffeine buzz off them. Its not an adrenalin rush, it feels different. Then again, it could all just be in my head, but I don't think this one is.

Your energery rushes could be caused by the timing in which you are taking your vitamins. If you normally take them at night, switch to taking them in the morning or visa-versa. I personally did not feel any more engergetic or 'well' when I took the Good Days so I stopped. Right now I'm trying Costco multivitamins and Costco's B-50 Stress Formula...lots of B's which is supposedly what we need for our nervous system. I have to say, I've been more tired lately, even with taking the vitamins, but I am sleeping better at night. ??? Hope this can help someone.

Steven, I don't think it's in your head. That is exactly what is happening to me with iron. Sometimes is weary bad, like I cant breath and it turns into panic. Same happened with vitamin B and D. Just like you sad, like If I had a cup of coffee. I am glad that I am not the only one.

Hi all,
Actually, it is a myth that vitamins will provide you with energy. Unless you have a specific vitamin deficiency, which is relatively uncommon in the United States, taking vitamins will not affect your energy level. Vitamins do not have any calories and are needed in small amounts, hence why they are called micronutrients. While they play an important role in our bodies, taking in more than our body needs will not give us more energy, and again most people consume adequate nutrients.

Here is some other info from Colorado State Universit y Cooperative Extensions:

"Myth: People need vitamin and mineral supplements to ensure good nutrition.

Fact: Supplements are not needed if a variety of foods are eaten. Taking in more nutrients than the body needs does not give added energy, more brain power or greater protection against disease.

Myth: People under emotional stress need "stress" vitamins.

Fact:Emotional stress does not increase nutrient needs. In fact, some companies have been required to stop advertising their products as stress vitamins. Unfortunately, other companies continue to make these false claims. Physiological stress, such as burns, trauma and surgery, do increase nutrient needs, and a supplement may be prescribed." ( http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/foodnut/09338.html )

The link above provides a good over view and is pretty interesting.

Hello All, I just was reading your messages. And I wanted to say you are all not alone, these vitamins, made me feel high, jittery, and even sick to my stomach for days after I stopped taking them. It is not something I recommend. My husband WAS also taking them an they made him the same way, except added that he could not sleep at night (when taking them in the morning after breakfast) I have quit taking them now. I cancelled my order, an then still received shipments, just a word to the wise they do not cancel your order on that voicemail system they have, they will bill you one more month before they stop! Now I have a 6 months supply of vitamins between my husband an I that we can do absolutely nothing with, because neither of us want to feel that way ever again!
