Multivitamin Reviews

Tonight I was thinking about the many different multivitamins out there and wondered if there was some site that objectively rated them. Searching on google for 'best multivitamin' returns alot of results that are either devoid of brand names or are links to sites that sell their own multivitamins with their own biased reviews. It's sort of like searching for 'best cialis' when you really want the best cialis :). You end up with crappy search results.

It seems any objective reviewer is afraid to list any brand names. It gives the impression that the drug makers have alot of influence on such sites, similar to magazines and advertising. Maybe they think they will be sued if they said Centrum sucks.

I did come across this PDF which seems to be a pretty good review of the major brands.

Viraj,

Thanks so much for the link. I was experiencing similar frustrations searching for multi-vitamin comparisons. Some companies have every become so creative as to register domain names that make it sound like they are some research group, and then tout their products as the best within their sites without any scientific proof of their claims. Thanks again !
