Summary: Love the Product, the Price, but the Shipping Cost ... ???
Comment: UPDATE: check for different sellers here on Amazon. I was able to find a seller (think it was Amazon) that didn't charge for shipping. While the vitamins were slightly higher, the overall price was lower.
#####
I've been using Dr Weil's multivitamin for some time. I've bought them here through Amazon and locally at the health stores. I trust the brand and Dr Weil's efforts to promote personal health. See the other reviews for the technical details.
My concern is that I now have to pay for shipping. What happened? I just placed an order for other Weil vitamins and shipping was free. My last order of this multivitamin also had free shipping. (Thank you, Amazon, for keeping this history).
Now, why is shipping nearly $7 for this bottle? Yes, I agree with other reviewers the pills are hard to swallow. But this shipping cost is even harder to swallow especially since other Weil products have free shipping.
I may yet purchase because locally these same vitamins are twice as much. 180 count is nearly $50 locally.
The value of any product is not just the product itself but also the cost to obtain it.

Summary: Large pills; made me sick to my stomach
Comment: I had read the previous reviews before purchasing the vitamins so I was prepared for the large size of the pills. They also have the awful natural vitamin smell. Because they contained such a great combination for a multi vitamin, I was going to overlook those two deficiences.
However, these vitamins made me throw up or get extremely nauseous three different times so I have now given up on the pills.

Summary: You've got to be kidding me...they're huge!
Comment: I had read the other reviews before buying these vitamins. We have been using the Weil Daily Vitamin Packs which are much more expensive and this bottle is cheaper and I couldn't imagine the pills were that big but they are! Unless you are a pill swallowing champion, I recommend the Daily Packs. They are excellent quality and are easier to swallow.

Summary: Some Concerns
Comment: While I don't think this multivitamin is bad overall, I do have some concerens.
First, the vitamin is extremely hard to swallow. I nearly choked a couple of times trying to get it down. Another reader claims that shouldn't be a criticism. Well, I disagree.
Second, ConsumerLab.com, an independent company that tests nutrional supplements found problems with the ingredients, namely that the vitamins contain only 73% of the vitamin A that is on the label, and, due to a binding agent used, there is actually 251% of its claimed 60 mg of calcium. Whether these problems have been corrected, I do not know.
Nonetheless, I think these vitamins are decent overall, although I have ethical issues with how Dr. Weil shamelessly promotes his own products on his Web site, especially with his "vitamin advisor," which recommends the same amount of stuff to take regardless of your input.

Summary: These seem to have helped my general health
Comment: I am a fan of Dr. Weil and have read his book on healthy aging. I started looking around for a multivitamin and decided that his would be the best bet. I have been taking them now for about a year and recently had a physical exam where all of my lab numbers were perfect. They were even better than last year. I only take a little medication for blood pressure which has run a little high even with the prescription meds. My BP is now much lower and is well below my previous readings. I take a few other supplements.
The doctor was very pleased and told me not to change anything in my routine. I am a 67 year old male.
I don't know whether to attribute it all to Dr. Weil's multivitamins, but I am pleased.
I tried looking for a similar product locally using the bottle and book as a guide, but got thoroughly confused. So, I decided to stay with what works.
