Balanced Vit/Min, high amounts, my Dr. recommended
For my fibromyalgia, my doctor has me on medications, and he recommended that I replace my usual over-the-counter multi-vitamin with Thorne's Meta-Fem because Thorne is an excellent manufacturer and produces very pure products.  Additionally, the vitamin and mineral dosages and ratios are much higher than the typical OTCs.  4 in morning; 4 in evening. Combats some side effects from other medications after about 3 months.<br /><br />ORIGINAL REVIEW: July 19, 2010<br />UPDATED REVIEW: March 3, 2013<br /><br />I continue taking this and benefiting.  My Fibromyalgia's "burning skin" sensation and sensitivity to muscle pain is muted when I stay on this.  For about 4 months I stopped taking them because I felt I had too many tablets and capsules to take in one day. However, my energy dropped very low until I started taking these again.  It may be a lot of capsules per day, but the positive benefits are noticeable.  I did find that I can frequently take 4 capsules once a day and maintain the benefits.  Unsure if this is because it is "built up" in my body or because of the dosage difference from 8 capsules is not noticeable to me.
