1.  A few years ago I took a 30 or 45 day sample of one of the Amway vitamins. I had never had a VITAMIN ALONE make me feel better all around - but that one did.

I'm looking to switch my multivitamin. It's okay - just think I can do better.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a great multivitamin (preferably that you actually just felt healthier - more energetic, etc)???

2.  Has anyone added Deplin to your vitamins & how did you like it long-term if you did?

If you like the Amway one so much, why are you not taking it? And I do not know about the other item, I can say I have never heard of Deplin.

Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

I don't know what kind it was specifically since it was years ago AND I was hoping there was an equivalent I could find & buy here locally somewhere in the flesh.

Without knowing specifically what it was that you took, I have no way of knowing what might be equivalent to it.

However, Centrum, or a generic store brand that is equivalent to Centrum, meets the guidelines set by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeon for WLS patients.  I use the Family Wellness brand from Family Dollar.  It's cheap and the ingredients are almost identical to Centrum.

The last month, I have used the Wal-Mart brand equivalent to one of the Centrums.  I just don't like it - think I can do better.  (Been switching around the last 6 months or so - just don't really have one that gives me that tangible energy boost the Amway vitamin used to.  I mean it was really NOTICABLE - I just can't remember what it was it's been so long!)

A multi doesn't typically do that.  Unless maybe you are really deficient in something.

This one did (but that was years ago).  I wasn't deficient of anything thing (and I'm not now).  My blood work is beautiful.  Just miss that really "oxygenated" feeling I got when taking that other vitamin years ago.

I googled it and for the one I saw you would need to take 8 a day to get the recommended amount of calcium at 200 mg per one. YOu would have to take a handful of them to get the recommended amount of b12 aT 9 mcg per one tablet. Even then,it iscalcium carbonate,which we dont Bsorb well.Those were the items I looked at,and I think there re betters vits available and maybe it was the sugar in. The Amway that made you feel so good?
