Reviews
Anyone can find a description of the positive qualities and photos of Opti-Women vitamins on the Internet. But no one can tell the whole truth about the product except those who have used them themselves.
Ekaterina, 29 years old, Moscow:
“Because I live in a big city, I am constantly on the move: traveling to and from work, performing complex mental manipulations, raising a child, all this has greatly affected my mood. There was no longer any strength or nerves for the people I loved.
A friend advised me to use these vitamins to support my condition. I was quite skeptical because I didn’t believe in using magic pills.
I purchased it, started taking it, and within a week I noticed results. This, of course, is not magic, but it is definitely useful.
I began to wake up easier in the morning and get less nervous when something didn’t work out. Definitely a useful supplement."
Svetlana, 32 years old, Krasnodar:
“I am constantly involved in fitness. I have two sons and my own Internet channel. I spend almost all my energy on my family and the gym.
Since the topic of healthy eating is extremely important to me, I couldn’t ignore vitamins. I was a little confused by the fact that some elements in the complex cannot be taken at the same time, but I’m not a nuclear physicist, so I don’t know if this is normal.
In addition, I noticed that some substances are 3 or even 4 times more than the body needs. But she chalked it up to poor digestibility and also calmed down.
I take 1 capsule twice a day and feel great. Before taking it, there were symptoms of fatigue or something else.
I bought vitamins at a sports store, the seller said that this is a fairly popular option, and I agree with the majority in their choice, a useful supplement.”
Olga, 37 years old, Voronezh:
“I started taking it when the skin on my hands cracked in the spring. There are obvious signs of vitamin deficiency on the face.
I turned to a friend who is quite an athlete and knows all these questions. She gave me 10 Optivumen tablets from her own supply. I took one at a time and after a week all my problems went away.
I was so inspired that I bought my own package and now accept it. Good effect, excellent mood, it’s a pity that no one advised me before.”
