> 24 hourSolgar Male Multiple is no longer made unfortunately (only a few remaining on the web) -- I have been using these great vitamins for over 20 years. Solgar and all other brands have nothing to replace the unique combination of a lot of Selenium, Chromium, Calcium, Magnesium plus with zero vitamin K. For some reason modern multivitamins have almost no Calcium and Magnesium. And the ones such as Vitacost Life Force are loaded with energy boosting ingredients such as L-Tyrosine, DMAE, CoQ10 etc plus vitamin K. These energy boosting ingredients mean you cant take them at night (only AM) if you want to get good sleep, and are dangerous to folks with weak hearts that go into afib with such energy boosters. Obviously vitamin K is not good for folks on Coumadin or equivalent. The small amounts of ginseng do not affect sleep. Very sorry to see this product with a unique combination of ingredients not being made anymore.

> 24 hourSolgar Male Multiples are legendary for a few reasons, but the quality and effectiveness are the two Id highlight here. Many users take 1 instead of the dosage of 3 and report great results. I take 2 and sometimes 3 and feel a big difference. I have GERD and liver issues and other multis seem to trouble me or feel like a sugar pill. But these multis really work and cant recommend them high enough. Take Centrum or some other cheapy crap for a week, then try these, and you too will give them a five star rating. no side effects [sometimes a little buzz from all the B etc. if full dose taken]; no gastric intolerances, etc. Just a great product.

> 24 hourI had an appendectomy and my bowel movements have not been as regular as they use to be. Since Ive been taking this male multiple it has returned to normal. When my first bottle ran out I switched to another cheaper multiple that only required one a day and I lost that regularity again. Started up again with a second bottle of this Solgar Male Multiple and Im back to being regular again. Ahhhhhh - Its not easy getting old : ) Im not a doctor, this is only my opinion/experience, take it with a grain of salt.

> 24 hourSolgar fan for life here. I need to settle all the claims of its size. It is no larger than a typical multivitamin- super standard. However, Im not sure its providing the power packed punch my body gets from focused doses of zinc and vitamin c capsules. Also, these multiple tabs smells rancid. Not even comparable to that of a fish oil capsule. Rancid like fermenting sunbaked roadkill. I dont think I can finish the bottle.

> 24 hourI decided to try Solgars Male Multiple vitamin for several reasons: I was familiar with their brand from ten years ago and I knew that its high quality; I didnt think that my current multi (famous OTC brand )was cutting it; I wanted a multi with no iron; I wanted a multi that wasnt the size of a horse pill, and, finally, I wanted a multi with SMALL amounts of ginseng and other energy-enhancing ingredients. On that last count, I think I got what I wanted, although at 25 mg the formula might seem too tepid for some. Using Solgars Male Multiple (2 tablets/day, not the 3 that the bottle recommends [see below for why]). I do feel an increase in overall energy, but I have questions that make me think that my search for the best multi for me may not yet over. I suspect that the initial boost I get from this vitamin is due to its generous supply of vitamin B-12 (500 mcg, or 8333% DV). There are also generous amounts of vitamin E (400 IU), zinc (50 mg), and C (400 mg). Magnesium and selenium are also generously supplied. Its at this point, though, that the ingredients list gets fuzzy for me and where someone who knows more about nutrition may be able to assist. It provides chromium, but not chromium picolinate, which my previous multi had and I believe has been implicated in weight loss. The chromium provided here is chromium nicotinoglycinate. Not sure why Solgar doesnt use the picolinate form. Heres the list of ingredients for the vitality part of the multi: Eleuthro extract, 25 mg Standardized American ginseng root, 25 mg Standardized Korean ginseng (panax), 25 mg Saw palmetto, 25 mg Stinging nettles extract, 25 mg Pygeum extract, 25 mg I should mention that when I was younger I tried ginseng but quit it, because at the end of the day I had leftover energy and trouble getting to sleep. Heres the kicker: even in the <25 mg range (I take only 2 tablets), at bedtime I feel my heart pounding, not badly but noticeably. These tablets are dark green and are not the size of horse pills. Theyre coated and go down easily with a sip of water. A final note: I considered other male multiples with energy-enhancing ingredients, but I decided on this brand because I really dont know about additives like damiana, etc.

> 24 hourThe pills are NOT too big, they DO NOT smell horrible, they DO NOT taste funny! I take these simultaneously with a multi-min, B-complex, Folate, D3, and, sometimes, a Solgar 7. Wouldnt recommend for addressing deficiencies, just for maintenance! If youre too childish for adult-vitamins, try Flintstones chewables.

> 24 hourThese pills are very large and hard to swallow even with a lot of water and they recommend taking qty (3) at a time. There is a weird smell and taste from them also. Don’t think I will order again.
