And while the compostable refills sound cool, always be wary of compostable plastic. As Wholier admits, "You can compost the pouch where accepted at an industrial composting facility or place in your home compost. Results in home compost may vary. We recommend ensuring you have the proper conditions to breakdown compostable materials."

[@silentfriend369]

I take this multivitamin. Oddly I recently became iron deficient while taking it. I have to add another iron supplement (Mega Food Blood Builder Iron). I don't even menstruate. 😬 Hopefully the added iron helps.

[@silentfriend369]

I think I may switch to th multi you take!

[@SoyboyARMY]

In other words, "This plastic will decompose in 500 years instead of 5,000.''

[@sonja4164]

​@silentfriend369 wow. That sux! Hope you can get it sorted out soon.

[@lastlime3792]

To be honest...to admit the diet is bad they would have to admit they promoted it to thousands of people especially young kids who’s health declined because someone told them eating the most bioavailable foods is wrong and to eat plants👓

[@meluvfriends]

I dont know why but picturing you hammering back fruit snacks after your vitamin absolutely killed me 😂😂 Thanks for keepin it real!!

[@kukurhuza]

The "you haven't tried it" take is just awesome, especially given the fact that Swayze clearly described her criticism, and it wasn't just "people can't feel better after it". I guess everyone should try urine therapy before saying anything bad about it

[@TangoMasterclass]

Deva multi has 750% RDA of vit B6. A friend of mine got very sick from taking too high amount of Vit B6. Taking high amounts of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements.

[@notthefather3919]

How much was your friend taking?

[@TangoMasterclass]

too much, apparently @@notthefather3919

[@kyivstuff]

There are different types of iron supplements (ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferric citrate etc). Every body may react differently to different types. So if your body didn’t like one iron supplement - another may fit better.

[@r0ttenruby]

Would it be possible to make this a "series" - where you review a vitamin supplement brand as a whole?

[@TejiFR]

@@MdoubleHBxxx. lets ban this dude ...

[@kateburt1454]

Totally get where you’re coming from. Taking big multivitamins is hard for me and can trigger acid reflux and nausea. Wholier has never given me that problem, and so it’s worth the price tag to me not to feel on the verge of vomiting every morning!

[@notthefather3919]

Do you take your supplements with food? If they cause you stomach issues, try taking them with food.

[@notthefather3919]

I am so glad I watched this video. I'm not vegan but I use a regular multi, the Walmart brand, and not nearly as cheap as Deva. If I can save money and reduce the use of animal products, it's a win-win! Deva should give you a sponsorship because you've promoted them so well.

[@carstenaltena]

Good for you and good luck on your journey to reduce the use of animal products! Never mind that MdoubleBxxx troll. He's a "regular" here and always copy pastes the same replies over and over. In fact, I recommend you report his posts. If enough people do this his account will hopefully be deleted.

[@carstenaltena]

Oh please HB. Just shut up.

[@notthefather3919]

​@carstenaltena thanks! I'm used to seeing their nonsense. I do what I can to reduce animal product consumption and I won't let a troll steer me away from doing what I can.

[@Tibyon]

Thank you so much for the Deva recommendation, looking for vegan multivitamin is very difficult.

[@stubbs3023]

Great video! Very knowledgeable and love that you provided an alternative at the end. Also I am watching a bunch of videos in a row and I’m to the point of mimicking the “newvideosoon” lol

[@JuliasHairJourney]

I take the Nature’s Way Alive gummy multivitamin for women. It’s marketed as vegetarian and not vegan, but says it is dairy free. Hardcore vegans might not like it, but I love how it almost tastes like candy. I get a horrible feeling in my throat when I have to swallow pills, so for me, this gummy multi is a keeper

[@marzettik]

I’m so glad you talk about this stuff, because no one else really does. By the way, any recommendations on a good vegan multi for the Canadians?

[@ThingsYoudontwanttohear]

I like how you say 'New video soon'. Peace!✌️

[@estinhewart]

Appreciate this info, Deva ones look good. I was considering getting the Hippo7 Vegan Complete

[@SummerFilmsit]

I’ve commented this before but methylcobalamin is in fact the only way people can absorb B12 when they have a gene mutation known as MRFHR. People with MTFHR heterozygous and/or homozygous are not uncommon. Evidence about cyanocobalamin VS methylcobalamin absorption is in fact, well researched and backed by MDs across the board. Update: Between a min of 30%-40% of the population has this mutation.

[@nom3nnescio]

And how many people know they have that? Yeah.

[@SummerFilmsit]

@@nom3nnescio Between 30%-40% which is quite significant.

[@nom3nnescio]

@@SummerFilmsit you really say 30-40% of people have their genes tested? 🤣

[@on-the-cusp8]

I have been taking Wholier for a year. I thought I was covering all my bases. I had blood drawn recently and was surprised to learn that I am anemic. The doctor told me that I need to take additional iron supplements. They didn’t check my B-12 but I am curious to know if I am deficient there also. I am female and I do have heavy periods so I’m not blaming it on Wholier, but I did decide that I will try something else when this bottle is finished. It’s too expensive, and now I’m concerned about B-12.

[@estellehays4760]

Please can you do a full video on the Smart Supplement! I actually got an ad for it before watching this video 😅

[@Sindri27]

I take Wholier but not on a daily basis. I take Deva multi as well. So it takes awhile to make it through a whole bottle of it. I subscribe to it so it’s cheaper. I actually plan to quit taking it once I’m out. I do have issue swallowing vitamins. It’s easiest to take them with soy milk.

[@glennhoffman1023]

I have been taking the liquid supplement from vegan brand Complement. I put the four drops into my breakfast smoothie to mask the nasty seaweed taste. I'm nearing the end of my six-month initial purchase (3 bottles).

[@tommi_sharp]

That color green looks great on you!

[@chelsea3974]

I am interested in your review of Vegetology supplements.

[@gabrudromero]

You could have videos on videos like the last couple minutes and I would watch :)

[@HeatherCutright]

Do you take the DEVA multi every day? I saw some reviews on Amazon that said there are such high amounts of some of the vitamins that it's not good to take them every single day.

[@AmandaOrigo]

You should review the Sakara meal delivery, I think they have some sort of supplements now and my guess is way more than 100/mo 🤣

[@andrewguthrie8979]

Hi Swayze, the vegan multi range is even more limited here in Aus. I've been taking Vegetology MultiVit as it seems to cover off everything needed but am still not sure. Was wondering what you thought of it as it's one of the few multis we can get here that has iodine etc Edit: Should also say I take their Omega-3 as well; both the Omega-3 and the MultiVit have D3 in them. Honestly I find it all really hard to navigate and am just taking a stab in the dark with it all but they seem ok

[@joa8593]

Honestly, Wholier is clearly thoughtfully put together and I don't really want to take a bunch of vitamins that my diet should provide since several of them have some evidence they could be harmful in excess so I prefer it to a multi. As you point out, choline and calcium are nutrients of concern for vegans, but too big for a multi. What concerns me is if the fats are oxidized. Especially since they seem to have a lot of supply issues and the capsules are not tightly sealed.

[@tacopok895]

I’m curious to hear if you have an opinion on the Natalies Co and their prenatal vitamin. I saw them recommended by another plant based mom who has had healthy pregnancies, and the company is plastic neutral, so it’s one I’m curious about getting.

[@Noochbaby]

Hey Swayze (hopefully spelled that right!). Could you add the link to the DEVA vitamins or add them to your Amazon storefront so I can support you by using your link? Thanks! :)

[@taniaallan5702]

Do you get Herbaland gummies I’m the US? They are made in BC Canada. I actually really like them. I take the woman’s multi and the b12/d3.

[@Alomah79]

I found DEVA awhile ago looking for a a good vegan multi. Have had no issues yet!

[@vicentema31]

What do you think about Vegetology (a UK based vegan multivitmin brand)?

[@nothingness4884]

Swayze, your skin is superb.

[@whitecrow1583]

I've read that methylcobalamin is better for smokers.

[@Jedidine]

My boyfriend bought me 'Wholier' and a lot of vegan snacks for my birthday last year, and omg! Wholier smelled and tasted sooo good. However, I would never pay that much for them. I also take Deva.

[@Kx____]

I am using Vegan Vitality's supplement, i really like it. Good price for what you get. It's a very well-rounded multi.

[@austinkatz8974]

SAVE THE DATE! Fam, the NYC Animal Liberation March is on Sept 2nd! I hope to see you all there!

[@CitrianSnailBY]

Swayze, men also need Iron... I must take almost 100 mg per day. But, *of course,* taking Iron *and* calcium _together_ is pointless, they'd just cancel each other out. So, this multi sounds rather worthless at this regard.

[@wa6184]

It also looks like it doesn't contain Vit C which in my opinion should be in any iron supplement. That's why I take a Iron +C only supplement when I'm low (aka after blood works). I don't think iron should be in any Multi.

[@Veganbri]

Which vitamins/supplements do you take?

[@veganforthem76]

She has a vídeo on all of her supplements that you can find searching “Unnatural Vegan supplements”. If memory serves correctly, the list includes a multi, choline, DHA, b12 and vitamin D.

[@mjs28s]

Aren't the Deva Vitamins just giving you way too much of most things as well as sometimes a bad form / alternative such as folic acid is NOT folate?

[@Magnulus76]

Iron is something that men should be careful about overconsuming, as it can have consequences for cardiovascular health, and quite possibly also nerve health. Most men have too much, not too little iron stored in their bodies.

[@kyivstuff]

Too much iodine and zinc can be toxic. And as table salt is usually enriched with iodine I suppose they didn’t want to risk.

[@user-zt2cn5in2h]

I find supplements so so hard to take - I have haemachromatosis and even as a menstruating vegan (vegetarian for 15 years) I still have the ferrin levels of a carnivore because I absorb basically every molecule of iron that floats by. I need a banging multi for vegans/vegetarians that has zero iron in it. Open to suggestions if anyone has any! I eat almost no dark leafy greens already and nothing that is fortified with iron (some fake meats)

[@marlyd]

I supplement only the things I've discussed with my gp: vitamin D, vitamin B complex and magnesium.

[@georgemarino434]

Okay I agree why spend more money on the other multi supplements. But why is Deva so much cheaper? I'm just curious. Because its a lot more cheaper? Is Deva 3rd part tested? Because wholier is.

Probably because that Deva multi-nutrient supplement doesn’t contain any DHA. Otherwise, it’d be much more expensive. For instance, she suggests to spend $3.57/mo on a multi-nutrient supplement and $6.00/mo in a DHA supplement alone.

[@georgemarino434]

Okay thank you. Not sure if you know this answer, but she recommends a DHA supplement. Shouldn't we take a EPA/DHA supplement? I'm thinking maybe ALA can convert enough to EPA but not enough to convert to DHA, but I'm not sure. The supplement she recommends only has DHA, no EPA in it. I personally take a EPA/DHA supplement. But I would save a lot of money if I only took the DHA that she recommends. Maybe that's all I need, I'm not sure on this. @

[@LeoJackson98]

I don't understand why you consider 2000 IU of vitamin D a "ridiculous amount". Our natural amount that we take from proper sun exposure is 10000 IU per day

[@themagicknightress7132]

Wow blood donation staff really don’t know anything. She told me I couldn’t get too much iron. I mean I was able to donate… but they put the need in wrong and I had to stop donating early… great

[@PancakeInvaders]

Hey Swayze, I'm a long time viewer and I would like to hear your thoughts on why eating wild caught predators is unethical from a consequentialist point of vue, seems like a bit of a trolley problem where it's not that clear to me that we should be keeping the predator alive instead of it's victims. It gets even more complicated with predators eating other predators (as with most fish), where it's very unclear wether more beings are saved by abstaining or not

[@lucysky384]

Predators are essential for the balance of the ecosystem. Killing predators is a huge problem as they are systematically killed to protect livestock. All animals have their place.

[@timbo1476]

Bern taking wholier for 3 years. Vegan 3 years. Starting to wonder and considering finding a new vegan multi. Thanks

The reason some nutrient supplements are substantially more expensive than others is because there are enough consumers willing to pay that extra money for them.

[@hannahmitchell87]

They may be a rip-off but at least they're vegan! Like an idiot, I ordered from a company I've never heard of & when my clearly labelled vegan supplements arrived today & I took one, I noticed the vit D was D3 from cholecalciferol. (Granted, it could've been from lichen but once I looked into their straight D3 & saw it was only suitable for vegetarians, I knew the score). Their explanation? "Sorry, it is actually D2 from plant sources, it's just been mislabelled & we'll refund you & try to change the packaging" (sound familiar Swayze?! Women's best!?) I asked for their Certificate of Analysis to prove it was D2 & mentioned that lanolin allergies are quite common, so if it's actually D3, they're risking people's health & even lives. Funnily enough, no response

[@blackmetalmatters9101]

Long time vegan here, and I don't take any multivitamins. I eat fruits & veggies, and here I am... still alive and well.
