 A little pricey, however a whole food suppplement Aug 03, 2009
This multivitamin is great because it's made from foods rather than synthetic vitamins, meaning that the vitamins will be better recognized and digested by the body. Also includes enzymes for better digestion such as lactase and phytase, so no need to worry if you take this vitamin while eating grains or dairy, etc. I also like how this multi doesn't go overboard on the vitamins, as much research has shown that getting too much of certain vitamins can be toxic to the body. The only downside is the price, but it's all about where your priorities are.

Vitamin Code Men's is better than most Multi's but it's not perfect Apr 21, 2009
I would like this product more if it had full-spectrum vitamin A and real folate. This has folic acid, which is man-made and unhealthy. Natural supplemental folates are folate, folinic acid (calcium folinate) and 5 methyl-tetrahydrofolate. I asked GOL about the vitamin A and they said they never claimed it was full-spectrum vitamin A. Vitamin Code vitamin E has only 7 parts, but vitamin E has 8 parts. I currently rotate between Vitamin Code Men's, MegaFoods One Daily Iron-Free and New Chapter Every Man's One Daily, which has zinc/copper at a 10-1 ratio, which I prefer (Vitamin Code Men's zinc/copper is 10-1 also).

 hardly raw at all Apr 08, 2009
One thing I've noticed working in the supplements industry is that no one seems to care for Jordan Rubin/ Garden of Life at all. And its no real surprise why after just a quick google.
But, having received a free bottle of the VC Men's formula, I decided to give Garden of Life another shot. It couldn't be FucoThin bad, right?
First a little bit of context. I had been taking the New Chapter Men's and Unbounded Energy multis for some time, often in lieu of breakfast, with the rest of my supplements, on the mornings I had to be at work well before the sun came up. Both those products, and the newish Country Life Real Foods Ultimate Daily, kept me feeling sustained and energized for several hours before the pang of hunger would kick in.
Not so much with the Vitamin Code Men's multi. After a solid week I switched back and have contemplated just tossing whats left the next time I clean out the pantry.
The Raw claim is also rather bold. The fruit and vegetable blend comes out to a meager 20mg and a rather lengthy list of ingredients. 20mg of fruits and vegetables seems more like what'd you get if you walked around a produce department with your mouth open for a bit. Especially when you consider a serving size is 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup (approximately 4- 6 ounces, or 112mg- 168mg).
So, really, why not spend that $35 on a quality product like New Chapter, Source Naturals, or Country Life?

Great for long term health and weight loss Mar 13, 2009
I've been taking the Vitamin Code Perfect Weight for about 3 months and have had great results. My digestion has improved in many ways and I have steadier energy which helps control my appetite. In response to the other reviewers, these vitamins seem to act as real food instead of a supplement; they are gentler and less dehydrating on the body.

Buy with caution Feb 25, 2009
As a consistent consumer of premium vitamins, I thought I would try something new with this product. After taking this product for 2 days I started to notice that my skin was breaking out; as soon as I discontinued use of the product my breakouts went away. This could be an isolated incident or a an allergic reaction. In either case, I would buy this product with caution.
