I have heard that taking this vitamin can counteract the birth control pill is this true? I have been taking this for a few months now and have experienced none of the symptoms so far listed in these blogs, I am just concerned with the possiblity of getting pregnant because of this vitamin.

I took one a day weight smart, and within five minutes of taking it, I was sick to my stomach and lost everything i had taken with it. It's obviously not good for you.

I just went to my doctor yesterday because of chest pain/tightness and a feeling like my heart was racing. It turns out that the caffeine and the EGCG (which has the same effect as the caffeine) in my "vitamin" (One a Day Weight Smart) was the problem. I'm a healthy 38 year old woman, and I began having heart palpitations within days of starting on this vitamin. Not realizing it was related to the vitamin, I waited another 5 days before seeing my doctor. So 10 days after starting to use One a Day Weight Smart, I had a EKG done and my doctor determined, through questioning, that it had to be the vitamin. I even had blood drawn to see if any permanent damage to my heart has occurred. Luckily, so far it looks good. I can't believe they can pass this off as a healthy vitamin. Today is the first day of not taking it and I'm feeling some relief already.
Be very careful with this drug...because that is what it is.

hello all! I have been using weight smart advanced now for a few weeks. I take it after lunch (always take it after food) and it helps me from getting in my 3 oclock sleepy faze haha. One time my stomache did feel a little bloated so I ate some yogurt and within an hour I felt just fine.

One thing to note is that this vitamin does not have the typical 450 or 600 calcium level, it only has 200. If you take vitamins for calcium (one of the reasons I do!) make sure you have a backup... I eat tums smooth desolve calcium supplements and I highly recommend them. They taste like candy to me.

Anyway, good luck to everyone!

im probably much younger than most of these people i just turned 19. But when i was younger my doctor told me to start taking one a day vitamins because i had an iron deficiency, but not that im older and i just graduaded from high school i have gained a little weight that i wanted to get rid of and my mom showed me the one a day weight smart. ive taked it for almost a week. i took it every morning right after i ate something, or if i only had time for something little i chuged a glass of milk down with it, and it does not make me sick and it seems to be working. the only thing i did notice is that it seemed like i was going to the bathroom more often and seemed like i was putting more out then i was putting in. A pharmacist told me it was cleaning my system out. I think it works great and i highly recomend it.

i've also been takint this with no issues. although internet research (fwiw) sounds like chromium (which 1aDayWS contains) can alter sleep patterns and increase dream activity...

Wow...thank goodness for the internet is right! I was wondering what kind of effects others have had from this vitamin...I don't seem to be losing or maintaining my weight on these (however perhaps I should take a closer look at my activity level and my eating habits). However, I was amazed to see the comments about sleep/dreams. I have been having CRAZY dreams lately...not nightmares, but very vivid dreams. I'm definitely going to take a break from the vitamin and see if that is what is causing them! Smile

I have taken this product for about six months. If I don't take it with food I will get sick to my stomach. Even after I start to feel sick if I just eat something I start to feel better right away. I haven't lost any weight, but it is a good source of vitamins. If you are looking to just take a vitamin that could possibly help you loose weight, then one a day weight smart is for you. If you are set on loosing a lot of weight, this product isn’t going to be the answer. No matter what TAKE THIS PRODUCT WITH FOOD, if you don’t you WILL get sick.

So I think the reason people keep getting sick from these is because it’s a “one a day” which means it has a lot more in that little vitamin than most regular vitamins so that you only have to take it “once a day”….It’s a lot for your body to take in all at once, rather than having it spread out over the day in maybe 3 vitamins of a smaller dose…make sense?
I think a lot of these people haven’t let there bodies adjust to it….I felt sick a few times, however I started eating a granola bar as soon as I wake up in the morning and then taking the vitamin immediately after and I have no problems, and I’ve had a crazy amount of weight loss. I’ve lost 6 pounds in about the last week and a half to two weeks. Also people who eat very healthy also have to remember that they are already getting tons of vitamins from their food, some of those which may already be in the “one a day”. It’s almost like a mini overdose so to speak. I don’t know that’s just what I think…
I also have experienced nightmares while taking these, I know a few other people have had this as well and I read that it is because of the chromium, I also have had some insomnia but again, once my body adjusted I felt fine, it took about a week. I think it’s better to take them in the morning.

I've been taking the One A Day WeightSmart since July 2007. If I don't take it with food, I get a stomach ache. I'm not sure if it works with weight loss because I pretty much maintain my weight through exercising. I've had no adverse effects from using this. Very Happy
