About 6 weeks ago, I posted about a new multi-vitamin I was starting to take. I've been using Shaklee's Vita-Lea with Iron since that time, and am very pleased with the effects! I had heard good reports about this multi-vitamin, but was not honestly expecting to notice any real difference in energy level, alertness, etc.

I don't believe in "miracle supplements". I've always felt that good physical and mental health is a result of good nutrition, exercise, and a relationship with our Creator.*

So when I began taking these vitamins, I didn't hold my breath for special magical physical changes. I wasn't disappointed, because there weren't any immediately stunning results. I had been experiencing fatigue and tiredness but I did not (and do not) expect a dietary supplement to cure the effects of not getting enough sleep every night.

However, after about a week of taking this vitamin, I realised that I was feeling unusually perky, chipper, and awake. I had more energy and thought to myself, "Wow! I've felt great these past few days... what have I been doing differently?"

I hadn't been exercising. I hadn't been eating differently. I hadn't been drinking more water. (All of those things are on my list of changes to make... but one thing at a time!) I hadn't even been getting more sleep.

I realised that the main thing I was doing "differenly" from the past, was that I was taking Shaklee's Vita-Lea with Iron every morning!

I am more than satisfied with this multi-vitamin. I'm delighted to have found a good-quality multi-vitamin that doesn't contain artificial colors or impossible-to-absorb nutrients. I am definitely going to continue taking this product!

I still don't believe it's a "miracle supplement", but I do think it has helped boost my physical well-being! If you have a Shaklee distributor in your area, I recommend trying this multi-vitamin!

*I'm not saying that Christians are magically healthy all the time, but rather that having the peace and joy of knowing Yeshua contributes substantially to mental well-being, which in turn affects our physical health.
