    it means coincidence


    I have taken them, and notice no weight loss, change, difference at all vs taking them, or not taking them. They do give me a bit more energy, - probably I imagine what one gets from a cup of coffee (which I donot like) - but not enough to get real excited over (at least for me)

    looks like a multi vitamin with a tiny bit of caffeine/green tea extract added to it.

    Take it if you want, don't expect any significant results.

    Look, some people will say that it's a load of crap, and I'm not toting this as a miracle cure or whatever, but these vitamins truly work. The mix of caffeine and essential vitamins help me get all the nutrients I need that I may be skimping on. I eat healthy and exercise and everything else, but taking a multivitamins really helps for my mood and motivation.

    I found that when I went a few weeks without taking them, I got really depressed and lacked energy. Started taking them again and I feel amazing!

    Doesn't matter whether it was purely mental or not, whatever works and doesn't hurt right?

    I take a generic multi that costs like $5 for a 2-3 month supply and drink coffee. My bases are covered, and I can take that extra money I would be donating to GNC and go snowboarding once a month.

    If you were truly eating a healthy diet you would not need or benefit from a multivitamin. Supplements should not be used to substitute for an imbalanced diet except in the case of medical conditions. If you are not getting enough vitamins and minerals changes are you are not getting enough fibre and other nutrients - of course the caffeine will keep you regular being a laxative as well as supplying artificial energy. IMO it's worrying that your regular diet alone leaves you with a disorder of mental health.

    I have been taking these since August. I have MS so I'm tired all the time and I find that they are the only vitamin that makes me feel more energetic. This has led to nearly 20 pounds in weight loss. When I'm tired I tend to snack all day on unhealthy foods. These vitamins have given me the energy to eat better and avoid food cravings. They don't make me jittery at all, but I do need to eat before I take them as they make me feel sick on an empty stomach. I also bought the GNC lean protein shakes and use them when I'm too tired to make something healthier. I have given up a lot of the white flour foods, but I haven't eliminated anything from my diet completely.
