Rainbow Light Multivitamin for Teens, Vitamin C, Zinc, & B Complex, Supports Brain Health, Nerve Function, and a Strong Immune System, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Fruit Punch, 90 Tablets

Great product! Both teens have seen improvement in acne, focus and getting out of bed in the mornings. I am very pleased. We started slowly, as we always do with any new supplement. One week of one pill per day to test tolerance. We then moved on to two pills per day. We settled on two. The tablets are a bit large, slightly smaller than the fish oil pills they take, not an issue for my teens. If your teen allows pills to linger in their mouths before swallowing then the taste might be an issue. Solve that by swallowing with OJ. Not an issue for our household though!

This is a very good vitamin. I've looked it up on several vitamin research lab websites to make sure the contents are what they say they are. My son has a hard time with digesting most vitamins and this one is not a problem. Since it has digestive enzymes, he takes them after having a few bites of food and makes sure to take them with meals. He's been taking them for quite a while and this winter, he has had less illnesses than he usually does. We do eat well, but he seems to burn off the vitamins faster than I can get food into him! I'm not sure about the "acne clearing" components, but his face is less broken out (but this was never a huge problem with him, just small break outs). The nice part about Rainbow Light vitamins are they are food based, gluten free, with no sugars or any junk! Our doctor recommended these as they are what he and his family take.

I found the Rainbow Lite Teen vitamins on another site and was interested in the "potent skin clearing action". So I read all the reviews and was impressed on how many said they actually worked. My teen son has been going to the dermatologist for 1 1/2 years and has been on a couple of different pills and topical treatments. His face was still breaking out and he had quite a few noticeable black heads which just would not go away. He started taking the vitamins - 2 a day the first week then he switched to 3 a day. Within 2 weeks all of the blackheads were completely gone. It was as if all of the impurities in his skin were pushed to the surface, like the blackheads, and when he washed his face, they just came off. He's now been taking them a month and his skin looks the best it has looked in 1 1/2 years. Not a breakout in site. And his skin just looks so much healthier. I can't say enough good things about these vitamins. Many people commented on the smell and the size. Yes they do smell and they are large - about the size of a one a day, maybe a little longer. My son doesn't think they are that big and he says nothing about the smell. Signed up for the auto ship through Amazon, don't want to run out, they are a keeper!

My 12-year-old daughter recently decided to try eliminating meat (beef & pork, and eventually poultry) from her diet, and as part of my agreement to support her I requested that she incorporate a multivitamin into her daily eating plan. She has celiac disease which means she is very strictly 100% gluten-free by necessity; I needed to make sure anything she would be taking fell into that category. I also wanted to find a multivitamin to support her rapidly growing body; she's been going through a pre-pubescent growth spurt these past few months and was starting to develop some mild acne on her nose and forehead even though I taught her to wash her face daily over a year ago. I read many great reviews of this brand both on Amazon and several other websites; BY FAR Amazon has the best prices on this product over six other online stores I looked at, especially with the Subscribe & Save program; they cost less than half what other stores are charging. It's hard to find plant-based vitamins at a low cost. I am only giving these 4 stars because I have no way of knowing if the vitamins and minerals inside them are actually absorbing into her system without running bloodwork panels, and she has also complained about their taste not being great (as is the case with almost every multivitamin I've ever taken). But I like that these include iron (important as young women begin menstruating) as well as higher levels of B complex vitamins for energy; for 3 tablets provide 30 mcg of B12 (or 500% DV), which is a missing vitamin in my daughter's no red meat diet. They also have probiotics and other herbs to aid with digestion, and the bottle says these can be taken on an empty stomach. However, my daughter always takes them with her breakfast, along with an additional D3 supplement and a small glass of orange juice (she says the OJ helps the vitamins go down more easily). These are gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, dairy-free, wheat-free and yeast-free, but are not listed as vegan; they DO contain soy lecithin. I started having her take 1 tablet daily until we knew her system was handling them well, then after a week we added a second one into her routine. The daily serving size is 3/day, but because she is still under 80 lbs I don't think she needs the full dose yet. These are pills for swallowing, not chewing, and they're solid and larger than my capsule multivitamins, so your teen needs to be proficient at swallowing larger pills in order to get them down. She wishes they were more like my pills (Rainbow Light Organic Women's Daily MV) so that I could blend them into a smoothie for her, but short of breaking them in half, which would scratch her throat going down, there's not much do do about that.

This product has really cleared up my daughter's facial acne. Other reviewers mentioned this as well and we noticed improvement within the first few days and her skin continues to clear up and she has not finished the first bottle yet. She is taking 2 pills daily. She does not have a problem swallowing large pills so this has not been an issue for her. These are not any bigger than your average vitamin or antibiotic pill but it would be an issue for someone who can't swallow pills. This seems like a good multivitamin with the added benefit of clearing up skin better than any face treatment we've used so far. I will absolutely continue to purchase this product!

I've been buying these locally for my son for a number of years...but recently noticed that Amazon's price was MUCH better (at least it was at the time of this review). I prefer to use food-based vitamins for my family, primarily for the benefits derived from whole-food nutrients. These teenager-targeted vitamins are also entirely free of sugar, lactose, wheat, gluten, and yeast and are gentler on the stomach than other vitamins that I've bought. My son can take these on an empty stomach; while the big-name drugstore brands must be taken with food or he else he gets queasy. I have the same situation with stomach tolerance of vitamins so I take the "Women's One" version made by this same company. While 3 tablets is the recommended dosage of this teen vitamin, it does say that you can adjust the dosage to 1, 2, or 3 based upon your dietary/skin improvement needs. Although the tablets are rather large, he has no difficulties with them. I do wish they would switch to vegetable capsules which are easier to swallow, though. The herbal blend that helps to improve skin really does make a difference. My son headed off to college shortly before his 18th birthday. I sent a supply of his vitamins/supplements with him. At some point during his freshman year, he backed off of the vitamins...only taking 1 tablet a day instead of the 3 (and none at all on some days). By Christmas holiday, his normally clear skin was having fairly serious problems with breakouts. I guess he was trying to conserve the vitamins...but right at the time when his body probably needed them the most because of added stress. I sent several bottles back to school with him with the recommendation that he go back to 3 tablets. Huge improvement by the next time that I saw him. He's now 19 and I recently asked him if he wanted to switch to Rainbow Light's "Men's One." He's decided to stay with the teen version for awhile longer to help keep his skin clear.

I'm ordering them through the subscribe & save item at amazon for $15.94 no shipping cost, you can't beat this price anywhere and I get them on time every month. These are simply a very good vitamins for our teenagers. My son 13 yrs old started to take them months ago and I only give him two tablets per day. It has helped him with energy and concentration at school, he has improved tremendously his grades to As and Bs from Cs and Ds, his early signs of acne disappear after taking regularly these vitamins. It doesn't upset his stomach and yes at the beginning he had some trouble swelling them, but now he takes them with a big glass of chocolate milk and has no problem now. I will totally recommend this product! :)

I take the women's version and have for a long time;knowing how well they work I started my teen on them. If you do your research you'll find "not everybody needs a vitamin". Teens with their change in hormones, and less than adequate diet. It's a good idea now I take R.L's version because there a more soluble version than for example One a day. My system looses nutrients because of medical issues so for me it's wonderful. Teenagers are finicky and what one says settles fine the other will say the polar opposite. My boys take these, no complaint( except yes the size but it's certainly not a deal-breaker ) and have been for several months now. They use to take one a day for teens but the company decided to change the formula and make it a gummie for me that's a deal-breaker! I switched them over to these and both my boys have commented on the less acne,and easier on their systems.Not making the "repeat visit" and fairly frequently have been known to take them on an empty stomach. One of the niceties of R.L vitamins; they work with your system and are absorbed naturally not causing nausea feeling. I highly recommend them.
