Hi Marla:

Wow, you have 4 Kids. Congrats. I hope that they are all
well. Sounds like your Christmas is Fun and busy for you.

Well if you believe what you hear in the news, it seems there
are companies that make vitamins and either there is not the
stated ingredients in the pills or there is less than the stated
doseage in the pills. That's disappointing.

We've tried many different vitamins through the years but
we've never tried Walmart vitamins and probably never will
since we use either Jamieson or Centrum. They both seem to
be trusted products.

That's a Good question. I would hope that the more expensive
one would be the better product but as we know, that's not
always the case. Since we don't carry labs in our back pockets
to test them, whatever vitamin we choose we just have to hope
that it has what is stated on the label and is doing the job helping
our health the way they are supposed to. I'm way past hoping that
vitamins will give me the extra energy I would like so I mainly just
eat a variety of foods to get most of the real vitamins and take
the otc as a hopefully "cover-what's-missing".

Some say the cheaper ones work as good as the expensive ones.
Some pharmacists even take home the expired vitamins since they
say the ingredients are still active. They should know.

Since you're in the US, here's a bit from your FDA about vitamins if
you haven't read it already.

Any vitamin has to be of some value.
