NaturesPlus Source of Life Gold Liquid 236ml - High Potency Food Based Multivitamin and Mineral - Energy and Immune Support - Vegetarian, Gluten Free

My background is that I'm 41, work full time and travel around the country on trains , planes and automobiles (taxis). I would say that I'm tired and feel that I have a low level fatigue. Going to the gym gives me an energy boost, but sometimes I'm too busy to go.I've tried lots of supplements, which haven't had any noticeable benefit except for ZMA, but that started to make me oversleep and didn't always work .So with the source of life I find that it gives me a burst of energy and more mental clarity. Also mood is more chilled. Also I'm not flagging so much.Getting up to at 5:30 am on a cold morning going to the airport to fly to Switzerland, usually I feel like a zombie, but with a cap full of source of life I felt pretty good. Best way to describe it was a feeling of being charged with energy and feeling relaxed. When I say charged with energy I don't mean bouncing up and down in a hyper state, just a nice flow of energy.However I noticed that if I take it every day, I do feel a little bit of the underlying fatigue again. I don't know if that because my body is reacting to the high doses in the product and might be overloading. I think that every other day works for me.Usually at the weekend I'm wiped out, but I now find that I'm walking earlier and not having a wiped out feeling.However with all the positives I have been reading up on the B12 side and have decided to try methylcobalamin nuggets by solgar. I bought these last week from a health food shop in Cardiff.These tiny tabs dissolve into the mouth compared to the juice of source of life. I have found that these give a better result than the source of life. However source of life has many other vitamins.Why did I do this when source of life has a positive effect on me. Well from researching on the phoenix rising forums there are many forms of B12 and without going into the details, the form that is in source of life (cyanocobalamin) is converted to the active forms in the body which are: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The theory goes that if you take the cyanocobalamin then you may have other deficiencies that stops the body converting it to the active forms. So that could be why some people don't get any benefit from certain B12 supplements.In fact when I was in Cardiff I took the methylcobalamin tab (no cap of source of life that day), went to work in the office, felt energetic all day, didn't flag despite no lunch and then had a three hour train back to London and worked on the laptop on the way.When I got off at Paddington I was in fact considering going to the Gym at my local office. This was at 9:30 in the evening.Point is that the B12 seems to work for me and it might also have been the added impact of the source of life that I took the day before travelling to Cardiff.Also the Solgar ones are sublingual, so at the moment my thinking is that the version of B12 in source of life may not be as good as it could be because it is synthetic and has to be converted into the active forms and also the amount that is in a dose won't be absorbed by the body fully. Ie you get a tiny amount converted to the active forms via the stomach.All in all its a good way to have your vitamins and for me it works, so I would give it five stars. I will have it as one of my keeper supplements.

I have now been taking this for several weeks so feel I can give it an accurate review. It works: remember that when taking it because the taste is indescribable. It’s truly revolting. I struggled for a few days to not feel sick as it really is revolting, however, I felt so run down and have deficiencies in several vitamins and iron that I figured I’d try anything to give me a boost particularly now. If you just take the capful and have a drink in standby to wash away the aftertaste, you soon get used to it. Be prepared for neon side effects!! I definitely feel more energised and less groggy so hopefully it’s working inside too to build immune system. It’s expensive at once to be honest but I added up if I was only to purchase the equivalent iron,Vitamin b12, vitamin d and zinc which I would have bought individually, it would cost as much per month as this. Additionally, this has many more vitamins and minerals in it than those four so it’s actually cost effective. I take it with a vitamin d supplement as needed at this time and can justify the £1 a day cost on average for improved health. I’d highly reccomend if you are suffering from fatigue, want to boost your health or recovering from illness and need immune system support. Remind yourself it works every time because the taste is just something else I can’t understand how anyone says it is pleasant.

It has a slightly acidic taste. Really helps with energy levels and ensuring you get all the vitamins you need. Highly recommended!

So was around few ill people, then woke up with saw throat , felt like was gonna get sick too. I ad one lid fall to a pint of water, stirred and downed before bed….Woke up completely fresh. Before bed i guess it works its magic while we are sleeping.Absolutely amazing stuff!!!Very strong taste , so with water makes it like a sweet drink.

If you try to pour the liquid, the liquid gets trapped under the rim, and then it seeps inside the cover. You'd have to use a pippet or a syringe to get clean extraction.The liquid itself tastes sweet at first, but when I first tried it it was sweet, and then had an a strong metalicky earthy middle taste, and then it would just taste fruity. And the after taste would go away. I couldn't get any youngsters to try it, they said it smelled horrid.Does it give you energy? Well maybe I should stop consuming gluten based products and find out. And up the dosage to a full ounce instead of half an ounce.
