  This review is about the quantity: 30 tabs

  I bought them for the first time even though I don't like the vitamins of this specific company, I saw a difference in my daily life but not like the corresponding ones I used to take from lamberts. The pills are quite big for swallowing. Also, the urine comes out very dark in color while with the others I used to take it wasn't like that. I don't think I will prefer them again, they are also more expensive.

  This review is about the quantity: 90 tabs

  I have been taking these specific vitamins for almost 4 years now, almost every day. They are the best multivitamin available. I am 45 years old, I work 10-12 hours every day, and I have the energy and desire for exercise and increased libido. Before I started taking them, I felt like I had been run over by a tractor. I recommend storing them well sealed and with cotton in the refrigerator as soon as you open them.

  It is extremely dangerous in my opinion....
  Without having any health issues, it caused me increased heart rate, arrhythmias, and anxiety, after a few days... I had bought the package of 60, and while I had been taking vital Q10 for years, which is obviously and significantly superior...
  The reason I chose it was for a change to something else (my mistake) and based on the reviews which are inaccurate regarding its effectiveness... I should note that I was taking 1 capsule per day... the taste was nauseating and the capsule was huge like for elephants... and of course, the half or more box that was left, I buried it 2 meters underground....
  Furthermore, until I buried them, they did not undergo any alteration as some people write in the comments....
  STAY AWAY.... There are much better products than this one...

  This review is about the quantity: 90 tabs

  I won't hide it, I haven't purchased the product yet as I am still researching. I was ready to buy the One-Per-Day from Life Extension, but before doing so, I decided to check out Solgar's solution since they are a well-known company in the field.

  Looking at the ingredients of the product listed on their official website - https://www.solgar.gr/product/polybitamini-vm-2000tm-tablets - I am surprised when a well-known multivitamin like this one has mistakes like the following.

  "Vitamin D2 (400IU, as ergocalciferol)"

  1) D2 is the plant version of vitamin D, which has only 10% absorption compared to D3. D3 is the animal form of the vitamin found in meat. With a quick search, we can confirm this.

  "D3 is approximately 87% more potent in raising and maintaining serum 25(OH)D concentrations and produces 2- to 3-fold greater storage of vitamin D than does equimolar D2."

  2) Then it only has 400IU when - again with a search - we can find from the NIH (National Institute of Health) of America that an adult can and should take 800 to 2000IU of D3 per day. "The recommended dose for neonates and infants is 400–600 IU/day, for children and adolescents 600–1000 IU/day and for adults 800–2000 IU/day [57].Mar 16, 2023"

  What's the point of having 400x2 of D2 (800) when they have ~10% absorption compared to D3? It's like taking 80IU, while the NIH tells you to take 800 to 2000IU, and recently there have been studies saying that 5000IU of D3 per day is perfectly fine without any risk.

  I understand that it's a multivitamin and it can't have everything, but just from this example, it suggests to me that something similar will apply to the other substances when they discount D, which is not only a vitamin but also a hormone.

  Compared to the One per Day from Life Extension, there is a big difference. It's 1 per day and provides 50mcg, which is 2000IU of D3, not D2. Obviously, it also has other substances that play a role, but I give importance to this as it is crucial for the average Greek who suffers from vitamin D deficiency as the statistics indicate, even though we are a country with plenty of sunlight.

  Every euro is worth it. I recovered after COVID thanks to these recommended by my pathologist. When I also have pressure and anxiety at work and need energy, they always help immediately. Also, if my child gets sick, I take them preventively and many times I have avoided getting sick myself. They are the only vitamins that I didn't feel like it was a waste of money.

  Three months of use, one capsule twice a day, after breakfast-lunch. I noticed an increase in my energy levels and milder symptoms if I caught a cold. I have tried various multivitamins, and I rank this one among the best.

  1. They do have a strange smell, like bird hemp, but personally it doesn't bother me at all.
  2. They are big, which also doesn't bother me, I just mention it for knowledge and because I agree with the others.
  3. Urine turns a fluorescent color after hours, I don't think it's concerning. It has to do with the dyes and ingredients of the pill. If it was white, maybe we wouldn't see a difference.
  4. In my case, with the 90-capsule bottle, no alteration was observed as others mentioned.

  4. The most important thing... I noticed a big difference in my hair. Honestly, I admit that I have never seen countless new sprouts growing on my head at any other moment in my life, both around and inside. The hairdresser even told me so as she was drying my hair.

  I am in favor of the product and highly recommend it.

  It leaves marks on the pills very quickly, long before the expiration date. I had read about it in the comments, so I took care of it from the beginning for impeccable maintenance

  Very good multivitamins, with relatively good quantities in one capsule + the price. In general, all multivitamins are for the better functioning of the body, as it is quite difficult to cover the range of vitamins needed by the body through diet every day (especially for the average Greek who unfortunately has complete ignorance of how they should eat)... disclaimer: THEY ARE NOT FOR GIVING YOU ENERGY DURING THE DAY, BUT FOR OVERALL HEALTH

  This review is about the quantity: 30 tabs

  Very good vitamins. I started taking them during a period when I was sleeping very little due to my child and also working. They really did a good job. Where I used to drag myself on the floor due to fatigue and insomnia, within two weeks I felt better. I continue to take them periodically, mainly when I don't eat properly. It's worth trying for those interested in a good multivitamin. The bottles I have bought over time have not suffered anything, nor have they been altered. I have kept them for 4 months without the taste changing. I keep them outside the refrigerator in a shady place. Also, you may notice a change in the color of your urine. It's normal. I have experienced it with other vitamins as well.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: the vitamins are large in size. They won't be convenient for anyone who struggles with swallowing pills. A friend of mine who bought them couldn't use them because they caused her tendencies to vomit.

  I have been taking these specific vitamins for a long period of time, around 3+ years, with a few breaks. At the same time, for short periods of demanding work, and knowing the low absorption of vitamins by the body in general, I supplement with mollers and effervescent C&Zinc or previously C&Echinacea (winter). Exactly for the above reasons, I cannot give these specific vitamins 5 stars, as they work in conjunction with others. However, I feel/realize that these specific ones, the V2000 (VM2000) from Solgar, have supported me extremely well in my daily demanding work and are 100% worth their money. Their image has never changed over the years, nor has their characteristic smell, which impresses me as I have seen negative reviews about the product (I do not deny the experience of other users, it is respectable). I am posting photos of my own - inside and outside the packaging - after 3 weeks of opening the package. Anyway, for me, it is a very good multivitamin recommendation! P.S. I have second thoughts about whether the vitamins do not absorb moisture (water) inside the refrigerator, resulting in their deterioration! -- This is my personal opinion. Before taking any medication - even natural ones - consult your doctor!

  I have been taking them for 5 years on a daily basis and I must admit that they have helped me in difficult work conditions and beyond. I now understand why, because if I forget and don't take one, I feel a bit weak. It contains other elements besides vitamins. In the 5 years, I have been sick twice and both times were in the summer due to full air conditioning. I mention this just in case it may not be related to them. In urine, you will see a greenish color, but don't be alarmed. Always take them after a meal. One is enough per day. They can be stored outside the refrigerator in a shady place and they will be fine. The price is a bit high, but I believe it's worth it. I have tried several brands and I have settled for these permanently in the last 5 years.

  Very good multivitamin. Be careful with the consumption for obvious reasons. Additionally, it doesn't have a smell. Those who say it smells either have it exposed to the sun or it has expired.

  One of the best multivitamins on the market. I have been taking them for 2 years, absolutely no side effects (except for what was mentioned about urine, which is completely normal). However, don't expect miracles, it is a dietary supplement, not a magic wand that will change your life.

  Maybe it is the best after Cantamega that I used before. I think that because both are English, they have the same results.

  Very good vitamin with much higher proportions of ingredients than the others, it is good to take one a day and not 2 as the box says.
  Just for your information, urine turns yellow even with one pill a day and I looked it up and it's because of some vitamin, I don't remember now which one, that is excreted from the urine when it is in excess in the body. No danger.
  IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
  If you have difficulty swallowing pills even a little bit, DO NOT buy it. The pill is HUGE even if you cut it in half. If it was divided into 4 it would be okay. My wife and mother-in-law almost choked 3-4 times. Also, the pill has a slight odor, if you have sensitivities to smells, I don't see you taking them.

  There is a vitamin alteration after opening and it has a terrible smell. To confirm, I took the vitamins to a pharmacy in my area and they told me not to consume them. I had purchased the product from an online pharmacy. I would also like to note that they were not expired and I kept them in a cool and shady place. The same thing happened with the skin hair nails vitamins as well. I have posted a review for those as well.

  Difficult to swallow, difficult to manage (it is good to put cotton on top and bottom of the jar for moisture, and seal the opening with a membrane) ... gives a small energy boost, improved sleep, and resistance to attacks from "childish" infections that often invade us ... worth a try

  I was taking these for a short period of time. I had read that the phosphorescent color in the urine is justified due to the ingredients (bile pigments). This is not true, as in random tests they found increased bile values and my doctor told me to stop taking them immediately.

  They are worth it 100%
  I buy the 60-pack every summer so that I can cope because I have a double job morning and night. I always have 8-10 tablets left over, but they have never turned black on me (specifically, I opened the box from last year today and the tablets were fine).

  Only 30ml bottles, the largest ones, although they seem economical at first, in the end you throw them away because they turn black and smell strongly. One of the best I have tried.

  I was taking vital plus q10 because I was feeling tired due to work on a daily basis and they had helped me a lot. Then I read in some comments about solgar that they are better, so I decided to try them. Personally, I didn't see any difference in my energy levels or vitality in my daily life. I'm not a doctor, but I believe it has to do with the individual and what vitamins/minerals they are lacking, so solgar may work for some and vital plus q10 for others. Personally, I will go back to vital plus q10, as I had seen a big difference.

  For those who complain that vitamins do not last long, I would like to mention that I have been using Solgar with the 60 tablets for more than 2 months (not using them daily) and they are exactly the same as the first time I opened them, in appearance, smell, and taste. I simply put them in the fridge immediately after opening and occasionally change the cotton, although it may not be necessary in the end (changing the cotton).

  Having heard very good things about Solgar and these specific vitamins, I bought a bottle. I didn't like their smell at all, it was so overpowering that it stayed in the entire drawer where I kept them. I also got worried when I saw that they made my urine phosphorescent yellow, so I immediately stopped taking them. I can't speak about their effectiveness because I didn't take them for a sufficient period of time. I wouldn't buy them again!!

  Terrible, as soon as you open the package, the tablets start to darken and deteriorate more and more. I bought it thinking that those who said it were exaggerating, and now I'm paying the consequences. Stay away! You will remember me.
