I did my own comparison
To be fair, I have been taking a very good supplement for quit some time, Andrew Lessman's Essential 1, this is a multivitamin, and I take B-12, D, C, Co-q10, vein and circulation support, which are all separately and sold within his line of nutritional products.  I've only had one complaint, they are all in capsule form, and even though not hard to swallow, I'm just tired of popping pills everyday. My brother had been urging me to try this Tangy Tangerine. So I finally broke down and ordered some.<br />I want to add that I had a Gastric Bypass 10 years ago, so I do not absorb vitamins and minerals like the average person, infact recently I have had D, B-12 and Iron deficiencies, which caused some big problems. Mostly, lack of Iron, but I have also been taking Andrew's Iron supplement everyday that has helped greatly. (I forgot to mention that above ) when this happened, it was a wake up call, so I got on supplements and take them religiously now.<br />As I mentioned above, vitamin absorbsion is a big problem with me, so the idea of a supplement drink made sense to me.<br />I have taken pictures of the Supplement Facts label of both products for comparison. The first picture is Andrew Lessman's label, and the second and third are Tangy Tangerine. As you can see, there are higher levels of everything in Tangy Tangerine. I am guessing it's because in capsule form, you may be limited, as compared to drinking the supplement. There are also important enzymes you need like Co-Q10 in TangyTangerine, that you have to buy separately in Andrew's line. And a big one for me, Potassium is in Tangy Tangerine, not in the supplement I was taking. Glucosamine and Chondrotin, is in this, not in Andrew's, again, you have to purchase separately.<br />Then there is the price to consider, and good vitamins and minerals do not come cheaply. I was spending on the average, about 100.00 a bottle for each supplement, although, that was a 1 year supply of each. So, actually, when I spent 60.00 for Tangy Tangerine, the breakdown is about 720.00 per year, with all the supplements you could ever need in the product. Whereas for Andrew's I was spending about 600.00 per year. I was not getting the levels in Andrew's that I am getting in Tangy Tangerine. So I say price wise, it's a toss up.<br />I have just started Tangy Tanderine, so I may have to update this review as to long term results. As far as taste, it's tolerable, just like the label says it tastes like tangy tangerine. I did not feel the extreme energy boost after the first drink like others have reported, but then I have already been on some very good supplements for a long time, so I may not be a good example. Someone who is not taking anything may feel an energy kick, I don't doubt that. I was not really clear on how much water to mix this with, so I took a bottle of crystal geiser bottled water, put it in the blender, added the powder and it blended up ok. I've read others saying they use half a cup to 8 oz of water or juice. I am now using 6 to 8 oz of water with a few ice cubes in the blender, and it actually tastes better with less water. The only sweetner I see in this product is stevia, and I do not mind that, but that is a choice you'll have to make.
