| bonniesayers's Full Review: One A Day One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplemen... |
I am not one to pay attention to commercials very often, but there was one that I had seen several times that I started to notice months ago. This was for One-A-Day® Weight Smart™ Dietary Supplement Tablets. This appeared to be a vitamin specifically for women that want to control their weight as well as enhance their metabolism. I would say this is a vitamin specifically for those past the age of thirty-five.
Measuring just about ¾ of an inch this lime green dietary supplement needs to be taken with food, not an easy task to adhere to in the morning when getting kids off to school. When I first made the purchase at Rite Aid I was also taking the prescription drug Prednisone so I waited awhile before starting the daily regimen of One-A-Day® Weight Smart™ Dietary Supplement Tablets.
The only times in my life I have stuck with taking vitamins on a daily basis was when I was pregnant. I remember in the early 90s while working at a Real Estate Management Company seeing one of the women there empty a plastic bag daily with about a dozen pills she would take each morning. I could never understand how people could take so many of these supplements, especially when I only took a multivitamin on occasion.
One-A-Day® Weight Smart™ Dietary Supplement Tablets are sold in the quantity of 50 for $8.99 or 100 at $16.99. About a week ago I made my second purchase of the fifty tablets sized bottle. Women who are pregnant or nursing will need to consult a healthcare professional beforehand. There is an expiration date on the side of the bottle as well as stamped on the outer carton. They are distributed by Bayer Corporation from New Jersey. My recent purchase expires in June of 2004.
The bottle is safety sealed with a child resistant cap and has the push down with arrows to turn and open by twisting. One-A-Day® Weight Smart™ Dietary Supplement Tablets is ephedra free. The statements and claims that are made in commercials and on the packaging of One-A-Day® Weight Smart™ Dietary Supplement Tablets have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
The B vitamins and chromium convert food to fuel while the green tea extract enhances your metabolism. Vitamins C, E, B6 and B12 are helping support a healthy heart. The percentage of daily value for most of the vitamins and minerals is 100% and beyond, with the exception of magnesium at 12% (50mg), calcium 30% (300mg) and Vitamin A 50% (2500 IU), but 100% as beta carotene. Also included is folic acid, zinc, copper, Niacin and Vitamin C, D and K. Some of the ingredients found in the One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplement Tablets are zinc oxide, gelatin, glucose, corn starch and cellulose. The other ingredients I can barely pronounce and not sure what they mean in relation to vitamins and minerals.
I noticed within a few days that I had more energy in the morning and started doing the vacuuming after taking the kids to school and regularly having a mid-morning snack at ten. This cut out the pretzels I would consume while watching a daytime drama before noon. Each morning by 6:30 am I would drink my Carnation Instant Breakfast before taking my One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplement Tablets.
For anyone like myself that is not accustomed to taking vitamins on a regular basis you will notice a difference in the urine color and if you do not eat before taking the tablet your stomach will be upset. If you have to burp the after taste is also not very pleasant. By taking a One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplement Tablets each day you are helping yourself control your weight and getting the needed vitamins and nutrients one needs on a regular basis, without having to take more than one pill!
There is a colorful graph on the carton that shows which vitamins and nutrients contribute to the immune health, cell protection, healthy heart, promotes metabolism and converts food to fuel. The package also compares One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplement Tablets to Centrum. I feel the claims made in the commercial are true testimonials and noticed a few pounds lost over my first fifty days. I started keeping a log and weighed myself each morning, but soon grew tire of trying to beat the numbers from the previous day.
As with all other dietary supplements, the key is to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. It is a known fact that once we hit the thirties our metabolism slows down making weight gain a new issue for many, including myself. I was lucky that this did not happen until I hit forty and I assumed this happened due to my sudden sedentary change in using the computer and walking less. Then you realize you are not eating any differently than you did in your 20s and 30s so it slowly creeps up on you when you least expect it.
I have started taking charge of my life with the addition of One-A-Day Weight Smart Dietary Supplement Tablets. My energy level has increased along with the motivation to see this through. For questions you can contact them at 1-800-800-4793.
