Women's One-A-Day Active Metabolism

Options
Has anyone tried this and had any (good or bad) side effects?

I've ready reviews on it causing nausea, but in my experience, you must eat right before taking the pill.

    They make me nauseous even if I eat right before. But usually it goes away within 20 minutes or so.

    I can't take any pills on an empty stomach or I feel sick, but I take them right after breakfast and I feel fine.

    I started taking them this morning with a protein shake and had no problem with nausea. I know if I didn't have that shake, though, it would have been bad...

    If it makes you sick it's probably because it has a high iron content. The one I take has 100 percent which is hard on your stomach. I throw up if I take it in the morning so I wait until the end of the day.

    It made me very nauseous, even if I ate something with it.

    Oh, Dr. Oz says it's best to take 1/2 pill in the morning and 1/2 pill in the evening

    That's what I take...but I usually always make sure I take it after I've just eaten! It does tend to make me nauseous if I don't eat, or if I work out right after I take it even if I've eaten!

    It's just a caffeine pill.
    In fact most diet pills are just caffeine pills, so know that going in.
    Some contain acai berry, algae, gava root and a host of other exotic sounding ingredients, but the one thing they all have in common is lots and lots of caffeine.
    What a coincidence!:laugh:
    Here's the real deal. There are no shortcuts. There is no magic pill. If you take caffeine, you'll see some results until your body down regulates the effects, and then you must increase the dosage. And on and on...
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
    And feel free to try it for yourself. Maybe your experience will be different.
    Good Luck :drinker:

    I took it religiously last year when I initially lost almost a hundred pounds because I have a horrid metabolism. And yes I am also one of them people that have to eat with it reguardless of when I take it or any pill for that matter. the only side effect aside from a little stomach upset is if I take it to late I have trouble sleeping.

    Coincidently I bought a box last night and just started them again today. So I'll updatre you if I notice anything else! :)

    Vitamins are great to help you get, well, vitamins. There is nothing that will help you lose weight in that vitamin though.

    They made me extremely gassy and very uncomfortable, so I stopped taking them.
