Review: Have you ever been to Nature's Valley? If you are going there anytime soon, would you bring me back a lobster or crab? According to the label on the jar of these multivitamins, they live there. It says right here in fine print that these multivitamins contain ingredients derived from shellfish. I imagine they have an in-ground swimming pool and have to have a Morton's representative come out every few weeks to replenish the salt content in the water.

Good thing I'm not a vegetarian. I'd be pissed.

As it stand, I am just a bit leery.

I bet you all thought I was some kind of cheet-o eatin' beer swillin' bachelor who doesn't own a t-shirt without a spaghetti sauce stain on it, didn't you? What with all of the junk food I've been reviewing since Consumatron started. Well, you're wrong. I'm simply a busy guy with two jobs and I plead that my schedule drives me to keep such a questionable diet. I do, however try and supplement this by taking my vitamins every day. Every day I take a multivitamin, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng and zinc. I also pop an occasional B-complex to keep my mind limber.

Shopping for vitamins is such a muddle to me. I never know what to buy. Why, when I was picking these out, I thought the "high potency" label on the jar had something to do with my sex drive. This almost prevented me from buying these vitamins, but then I thought "who cares if it is sexual potency they speak of? That's a good thing regardless, isn't it?" I mean a highly potent sex drive isn't such a bad thing for a man of 26, is it? Not that I have a problem anyway. I made sure that the pills inside the jar weren't small, blue and engraved with a "V" and proceeded to purchase them.

These horsepills not only contain shellfish, but smell like them when you sniff the jar-full. Not that concentrated vitamins ever smell good, but I've never smelled any like this. They taste like chalky sawdust too.

Next time, I'll spring for a more expensive, better smelling brand.

Unless, of course, the potency thing changes my sex-life for the better. Anyone want to volunteer for medical research?
