I am looking a for a really good multivitimin that I can take everyday. Most days its is hard for me to eat 5+ fruit and vege. One small problem - I find it hard to swallow pills. Very Small ones are ok.

Fortunately you can find multivitamin supplements in many forms from powders to liquids.

If you are finding it hard to meet your daily requirements for fruit and vegetables you may find that a greens superfood powder would be well suited to your situation in addition to a liquid multi B Vitamin.

A superfood formula like Vital Greens or essential greens by Lifestream supplies a range of vegetable, algae and fruit powders in combination which ensures you ingest the wide variety of nutrients that you are missing by failing to eat the recommendations for fruit and vegetables.

These formulas also have an alkalizing action on the system something that a multivitamin may not provide. Essentially you are receiving the alkalizing benefits of the vegetables they contain. I have also suggested you take a liquid B Vitamin supplement to provide you with the essential B vitamins that are involved in many of the basic functions of our bodies. I recommend the brands of Baigs liquid B and Grants Liquid B formulas.
 
It is important to note however that supplements should not replace a balanced diet and that every effort should be made to achieve a complete diet.
