Multinorm - Vitamin D3 Tabletten
These are mini tablets of 1600 I.E. of vitamin D3.
Because they are mini tablets they are very easy to take.
The packaging is a little plastic click dispenser. While it is very convenient, it can't be refilled and feels like a bit of a waste of plastic.
Price: 5/5 ($4.18 for 60 mini tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

KVP - Sitobact - Probiotic
"Sitobact contains a coordinated mix of five strains of probiotic lactic acid bacteria. The lactic acid bacteria are especially "packed" for the passage of the stomach so that they get into the intestine alive. With the added prebiotic inulin the nutrition of the added lactic acid bacteria is ensured at the same time. In addition, Sitobact contains the essential micronutrients zinc, folic acid, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, in addition to supporting the immune system."
I just took this off the net, I think it describes it best:
"Sitobact contains a coordinated mix of five strains of probiotic lactic acid bacteria.

With the added prebiotic inulin the nutrition of the added lactic acid bacteria is ensured at the same time. In addition, Sitobact contains the essential micronutrients zinc, folic acid, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12, in addition to supporting the immune system."
So it has good bacteria, a prebiotic called inulin, and other vitamins/minerals.
It is meant to help with gut flora and thus help the immune system.
The capsules were easy to take and have no taste.

Primal State - Primal Sun - Vitamin D
These are drops that you can take for vitamin D.
The vitamin D3 is dissolved into medium chained triglycerides from coconut oil.
It has a minimal oil taste and is easy to split up a dose over the day to make it easier on your body.
Because it is a liquid it is less portable and the dropper on my bottle has detached from the cap, but the liquid itself is good.
However because of the packaging issues and price, I can't recommend this.
Price: 1.5/5 ($40.74 for 50mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Tetesept - Vitamin D3 1700
These tablets are very small (but not the smallest vitamin D tablets I have seen), so they are very easy to take.
They have no taste or detectable scent.
Each tablet is 1700 I.E. (42.5 mcg), so I take three a day.
Price: ($4.73 for 50 mini-tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent)

Fairvital - Beta-Glucan 500mg
This is a beta-glucan capsule (or many of them really).
Beta-glucan is taken for cholesterol reduction and immune support.
They aren't too big and are easy enough to take.
I really credit these for my current strong immune system.
PB has had two cold in a month, I got neither.
Normally I'm patient 0.
My friends used to say the zombie apocalypse would start with me, now I think that will be someone else.
Price: 3/5 ($31.36 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)

Greenfood - Super C 1000
These are actually PB's vitamin C tablets that I kinda took over... sorry PB (I got him more),
In addition to 1000mg of vitamin c, they also contain acerola (a plant known for being a good source of antioxidants), rosehip, bioflavonoids (alleged antioxidant and enhancer of vitamin C).
These are pretty big tablets, so if you have trouble with tablets perhaps pick a different vitamin C supplement.
Price: 4/5 ($26.47 for 120 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (not strong, herbal acidic smell)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Zinkorotat-POS
This is a zinc supplement with a funny name.
It's small and thus easy to swallow.
Price: 2/5 ($8.97 for 20 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5 ( I guess, I feel better on it but I'd really need medical tests to determine this.)

Blackmores - Bio Iron
Since people keep wanting to steal my blood and I know I'm already anemic, I thought I should take some iron supplements.
(I don't eat much that naturally contains iron).
These don't upset my stomach, even with recent issues with mild nausea, but I have a pretty strong stomach.
*Iron can be pretty hard on some people's stomachs, it helps to take it with food.
The tablets are pretty small, so very easy to swallow.
I pair this with a vitamin c source (citrus, vitamin c tablet), as it aids iron absoption.
Price: 3/5 ($17.95 for 80 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Mein Vita - Coenzym Q10 200mg (Coenzyme Q10)
These are gluten free, vegan coenyme Q10 capsules.
They are of a medium-small size, so easy to take, and are a clear capsule with a orange-yellow powder inside (which looks visually fun to me).
Since these don't specify the form of Q10, it's probably ubiquinone.
Ubiquinol is the more expensive, reported as easier for your body to absorb, form.
But for me, the more common form is just fine.
Price: 4/5 ($21.86 for 120 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no scent, no taste)
Ubiquinol or Ubiquinone: ubiquinone

Nutra Rise - Prenatal Multivitamin
I didn't use these as a prenatal, but as a daily supplement to aid hair and nail growth.
(Prenatal supplements are great for that.)
These have vitamins A, C, D3, E, B12, B1, and B6. They also have niacin, folic acid, calcium, iron, and zinc.
They are medium sized beige tablets
I was very disappointed with them because a lot of the tablets were broken.
If you were using this as a prenatal, it would be maddening, wondering if you took to little or too much.
As such, I can't recommend this brand.
It did help my hair and nails, but not as well as the Thompson's hair, skin, and nails did.
Price: 3/5 ($23.06 for 60 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (very faint, mineral and acidic vitamin smell)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Altapharma - Sano Viramin E 600
Vitamin E is an antioxidant.
These capsules are small, so very easy to take.
I like that they are little clear capsules, that's just something I visually enjoy.
Price: ( for 42)

Regulator-Köhler
This is a nutritional supplement containing the basic (as in alkaline) minerals of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
They are sodium free, which is good if you can't have too much sodium.
They are for 'A balanced acid-base balance and a functioning energy metabolism are important prerequisites for physical and mental well-being. ' according to the bottle.
The capsules are medium-sized with a matte finish (which I'm guessing is a coating to get it past the stomach acid).
It says take 2-3 a day, I took one a day because I do what I want.
Price: 2/5 ($31.34 for 100 capsules)

Altapharma - Brausetabletten (Effervescent Tablets) - Magnesium + Calcium + D3
These tablets are a rhubarb and lime flavour.
They contain magnesium, calcium, and vitamin D3.
They are also lactose and gluten free.
It had a rosé beige colour, smells mildly of lime, and tastes mildly like rhubarb and lime.
I would have liked more of a lime flavour, but you know how I feel about citrus.
This is a fun, cheap source of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D3. Price: 5/5 ($3.12 for 20 tablets)
Taste: 4.5/5

These are organic iron capsules in which the iron comes from curry leaf and vitamin C (from amla and acerola, it is used to absorb iron).
They are a medium size and easy to take.

Price: 1/5 ($26.91 for 60 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no taste)
