Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this initially because I have read many wonderful, wonderful things about Life Extension's quality, both in terms of the amounts of vitamins and also in terms of the actual bioavailability of the nutrients. I had been taking a supermarket multi as well as D and B vitamins.
When I got this supplement and looked at the amounts my jaw dropped. This multi- not only puts my old multi- to shame (which I expected) but also has 2000 IU of D built right in so I no longer need the additional D vitamin I had been taking to get 2000 IU for my immune system (I work at a desk not to mention I live in Michigan...). It also contains MORE B6 and B12 (a LOT more) than the B vitamin I had been taking. Wow!
This leads me to my last nice surprise: While I expected to pay more per dose than I was for my supermarket multi (better vitamin, so duh!) it turns out this costs significantly LESS for a day's vitamins. Plus I am confident that with Life Extension's reputation as one of (if not the) highest quality brands that this is a better source.
So with this multi- you get a better rounded set of vitamins with fewer pills and less money than it would otherwise take, and all from a top-tier source. What's not to like?

Life Extension Two-Per-Day High Potency Multivitamin & Mineral Supplement 120 Vegetarian TabletsAdequate intake of vitamins and minerals is key to optimal health. But, since it is virtually impossible to eat enough food to get all the nutrients the body needs on a daily basis, taking multivitamin supplements is the healthy alternative. That is why Life Extension developed Life Extension MixTM back in 1983. However, some people are averse to swallowing the nine tablets per day recommended to get the maximum health benefits demonstrated in scientific studies. For those people, Life Extension has formulated a two-per-day multivitamin supplement that provides the maximum amount of active ingredients that can fit into two tablets to confer some health benefits. A study published in JAMA demonstrated the health benefits of taking daily vitamins by pointing out "Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." The same JAMA issue, in its scientific review, reveals that inadequate intake of vitamins B6, B12, E, D, and folate are associated with less than optimal health. Other crucial nutrients included in the Two-Per-Day Tablets include biotin, which may be used as part of a diet to maintain a healthy blood sugar level in those already within normal range; lycopene, one of the most effective antioxidant nutrients; and lutein, a carotenoid that is beneficial to eye health. With relatively high amounts of folic acid, vitamin D2, zinc, lycopene, lutein, chromium, selenium, and B-complex vitamins, Two-Per-Day Tablets can stand up to any multivitamin supplement on the market. In fact, compared to Centrum®, Two-Per-Day Tablets provide about:8 times more vitamin C6 times more vitamin E6 times more lycopene20 times more lutein10 times more biotin37 times more vitamin B65 times more selenium50 times more vitamin B150 times more vitamin B12At least twice as much folic acid, zinc, and many other nutrients.
